President George W. Bush Publicly Mocked Karla's Clemency Plea In early August 1999, then Presidential candidate Governor George W. Bush mocked Karla Tucker's plea for clemency during an interview with Talk Magazine. Bush mentioned that he had watched Larry King's interview with Karla Tucker from Texas Death Row. "I didn't meet with Larry King either when he came down for it," Bush told the magazine. "I watched his interview with (Tucker), though. He asked her real difficult questions, like, `What would you say to Governor Bush?' " The Talk reporter asked how she answered. " `Please,' Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, `don't kill me,' " according to the magazine. Here's the relevant clip of the interview from the September 1999 issue of Talk Magazine. geocities.com In fact, during that Larry King-Faye Tucker exchange, Tucker NEVER asked to be spared. GOP Presidental Primary Opponent Gary Bauer critisized Bush for these comments. "I think it is nothing short of unbelievable that the governor of a major state running for president thought it was acceptable to mock a woman he decided to put to death," Bauer said of Bush. ccadp.org Houston Chronicle, August 11, 1999 As of 7:30pm EDT, December 7, 2000, 152 people have been executed during Bush's tenure as governor.
