With the howling pack of people always at Bush's heels do you think he would deliberately make fun of a known blind guy? I would like to answer that with a "No". I would hope that the answer is "No". Would you expect the President of the United States to condemn a terrorist attack that resulted in loss of innocent life and follow it up with .... "Now watch this swing."? I answered your question. Your turn, you answer mine. jttmab

ONE reporter was wearing shades on a day when the sun wasn't out. A person with a LITTLE snap MIGHT assume he was BLIND! But, not our chimp Caesar! Don't forget, this is the same man that WAVED to Stevie Wonder! This was a guy who mocked a woman who he condemed to death by refusing to stay her execution - so, he easily could have been DELIBERATELY mocking the blind reporter. en.wikipedia.org "Tucker Carlson interviewed Bush for Talk Magazine (September 1999, p. 106). Excerpt from this interview is quoted below: In the weeks before the execution, Bush says, a number of protesters came to Austin to demand clemency for Karla Faye Tucker. "Did you meet with any of them?" I ask. Bush whips around and stares at me. "No, I didn't meet with any of them," he snaps, as though I've just asked the dumbest, most offensive question ever posed. "I didn't meet with Larry King either when he came down for it. I watched his interview with Tucker, though. He asked her real difficult questions like, 'What would you say to Governor Bush?'" "What was her answer?" I wonder. "'Please,'" Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, "'don't kill me.'" I must look shocked — ridiculing the pleas of a condemned prisoner who has since been executed seems odd and cruel — because he immediately stops smirking. Bush denied that he had intended to make light of the issue."
