Words fail me. They truly fail me.
We are in deep doo doo people.
That bitch,I just gave her my take on world events yesterday.

Words should fail you because the article comes no where near a serious indication that Bush ever solicited this guy’s advice. You are posting a gossip column piece as evidence. This OP is too pitiful to even merit further comment.
Well, to be fair, the questions could be about not so much “I believe in this stuff; how should we be guided by it,” as much as “these kinds of people are one of my core constituencies; how will my policies make them feel?”.
But yeah, just the fact that it could very well be the former should scare people…
Well, he’s claiming it, but was he? AND, it could be he sent them a continuous stream of his end-of-the-world rants, and they felt it was the polite thing to call him and hear him out, as he does represent one of the core constituencies. Hell, I spoke to people from the Clinton White House on political issues (at the WH, no less), does that make me an advisor to Bubba?
If I was a marginal, lunatic fundamentalist preacher, I’d definitely be laying on the B.S. regarding my political influence.
The scary thing, however, is the grains of plausibility this does have.

If Condi’s office denied it, it can’t be true :dubious:
Should I throw in the rumor that Condi warned Willie Brown not to fly the week of Sept 11, 2001?
They got a thing goin on ?
We all know that’d be wrong.
Perhaps it’s just to strong to let it cool down now ?
At least he put it in the right place this time.
hey Squink, Conni is honet and fabulous!
Seriously, I’m thinking that Bush folk contacted JVI because they want some insight on the Christian Zionist Right (which I consider myself among, tho not to the JVI degree) & JVI thought that means he was consulted for advice.
shrugs Wouldn’t be the first time Jack Van Impe was delusional…
who cares about JVI… but Rexella is another matter… yum, stick insects
literally explodes with laughter
Great…I’ll expect you soon, bagkitty, to come scrape me off the walls…
Jack Van Impe is a barrel of laughs.
The first time I remember seeing him was during the build-up to the 1990 Persian Gulf conflict, when he was warning everyone that it signified the beginning of Armageddon.
The second time I remember seeing him was only a couple of days later – I was watching a cheesy PBS series called Understanding the Sixties. The first episode suggested that, in order to appreciate what happened in that decade, it was important to put it in the context of the social climate of the fifties. To offer the viewer some insight, they used a clip of Jack Van Impe – a little slimmer, and his pompadour was black, but otherwise completely the same. He was explaining that the war in Korea signified the beginning of Armageddon – using the same scriptural references and arguments, nearly verbatim.
Haw, Haw.
While my estimation of Bush’s capacity for dangerous lunacy is fairly high, it’s not so high that I’d give even the tiniest bit of credence to the claims of a transparent charlatan who has been running an It’s-plain-to-see-from-international-events-that-the-world-will-end-this-Tuesday-after-next-so-send-twenty-dollars-to-post-office-box-number-333-station-Rube-for-vital-information-about-what-you-can-do-about-it racket for more than fifty years.
Hell, next to Van Impe, Bush looks like a paragon of versimilitude.
Tell me wingnut…the posts I put in GD that you and Mr Mace say don’t belong there…Just how many have been moved or closed by the real mods?
How many?
Reeder:
Can you explain why you decided to put this one in The Pit? I honestly can’t see the difference between this and many of the threads you start in GD.
Because this is so stupid even you won’t debate it.
And when all agree there is no debate.
And I’ll ask you again…How many did the mods close or move?
we can make Rexella wear a dealer’s visor, then use her like a big ol’ scraper… the walls will be clean in no time.
I gotta admit that I have sick fascination with her… but have to make certain the cat isn’t the room when she is on… or the cat gets all wired and scared…
True or not, it wouldn’t be the first time the Oval Officer sought ‘spiritual guidance’ from less than, shall we say, honorable characters. That, however, does not make it any less frightening.
