Isn’t it a damned shame that neither of the Brothers Bush ever took this much of an interest in re-investigating a Death Row prisoner’s case?
Holy dogshit, you’re correct! My error in missing the space between “the” and “boards” is garganutan when compared to your expert search skills which rank just below ‘couldn’t find pussy in a whorehouse.’ You’re also correct about my charge of being disingenuous, in that a plan and intelligence are key factors for smooth execution. I’ll respectfully withdraw that, as you have offered convincing evidence to contradict that allegation.
Why don’t you bend over and kiss my ass, and I’ll sound out something for you.
To This Year’s Model: you are correct that everyone has a right to start a thread, but having a right doesn’t make the use of it prudent or reasonable. We all have rights which we do not exercise on a daily basis because better judgement holds sway. Furthermore, I’m not interested in defending Jeb Bush-his inquiry and prior intervention is stupid and without basis, but he’s been whacked over this time and again. No benefit is served by repeat inquisitions into topics already pronounced dead.
Just because you have pronounced the topic dead doesn’t mean the rest of us have to consider it so.
As far as I am concerned, Jeb needs to continue to be whacked over this one as long as he’s still whacking at Michael.
Holy shit! Did Jeb get the coroner’s report?
Ah, you mistake me, sir. I’m not talking about making an OP; of course I would search before doing that. I’m talking about me, not having surfer the board actively in months, opening the Pit and seeing this thread on Page 1. I just posted to it. I don’t think I should have to search the whole forum to see if there’s another post about it from last week.
So you’re telling me before posting to a thread, you do a search, every time, so that you don’t post to a redundant thread? If so, you have a lot more free time than I do, but good for you for being so diligent about avoiding the slightest chance we might repeat ourselves.
This is a lot of hue and cry about having 2 threads on the same topic open within a week of each other. Are you sure it’s not just that you’re tired of the constant harping about Bush’s fuck ups? Well, now you know how the Democrats felt during the second Clinton term. Annoying, ain’t it?
Am I the only one who sees the inherent contradiction here?[sup]*[/sup]
[sub]*This comment is intended as both complimentary[sup]**[/sup] and humorous. Readers who take issue with either concept may immerse themselves in seventeen-year-old cheesecake at leisure.[/sub]
[sub]**In both widely recognised senses of the word. Oooh, linguistic ambiguities just make me tingle.[/sub]
Don’t be so obtuse; of course not. But I would look around if before I’d start a thread on a current political topic. Historically, those (and particularly those involving the Bush patriarchy) have been covered here like buzzards on a gutwagon.
Nope, and nope. I’m not tired of the harping about Bush’s fuck-ups, because in the vast majority of the cases, it is all-too-well deserved. (It now occurs to me that I’m not entirely sure which Bush you ar speaking of, tho’. This thread was ostensibly about Jeb, but it seems to be taking the usual turn towards his dumber brother.)
And I don’t know how the Democrats here felt about any “constant harping” during Clinton’s second term simply because this board was extant for naught but the last two years of that term and the final of those two the harping was more about the presidential candidiates - Bush & Gore - than about anything Clinton was doing.
So, I’d suggest that perhaps your history, and your assessment of my opinion, are in error, and you’ve drawn a couple faulty conclusions from a bad premise.
No, this is what you missed.
You provided a cite *in addition * to TYM’s cites which was included in said cites.
Explanation?
You accused me of “soldiering on” when I had made, to that point, only one appearance in the thread.
You accused me of not apologizing when, in fact, I had.
When called on that, you questioned the authenticity of the apology.
It is clear to me and others in this thread that you jumped in with with both tits blazing upon seeing the name Bush in the title with little or no regard for the subsequent content. You have had your say, such as it is, although it does seem to approach the effervescent with each succeeding post. Really, just piss off. You’ll feel better.
Band Name!
Let’s add reading comprehension to your list of skills requiring improvement. I already noted that the thread I’d referenced had been cited by TYM.
Said statement referred to starting another thread when not less than four had addressed the same topic within the preceding two weeks. Can you understand it now, Skippy?
You’re right. I was inordinately harsh with you. In the future I will resolve to be more tolerant of those who are still learning how to use search functions and understand multisyllabic words.
Correct. Torn between adjudging you lazy or stupid, I’ll check both, now.
Bzzzt. Wrong. Any thread which represents the same old shit, reprised once again was and is the source of my angst. UncleBeer has been kind enough to explain the concept in greater detail above, should you desire to avail yourself of the knowledge. Good luck in summer school.
You are aware that simply willing your words to rearrange themselves is not enough? Bolding mine.
How can it be both added to and already there?
I understand what you just said. I am less clear on why you think that it explains anything.
Using simple words, as I am but a simple man, please show me where I have complained of your being harsh in reference to your mistake about my apology. This weak attempt at deflection serves you ill, I fear.
This isn’t going on my permanent record, is it?
In all seriousness, I hope nothing really bad happens in your life. The angst will be unbearable.
My god, did you not read what I wrote? I said, specificall, that I’d search before posting a new OP on a current topic. However, once one is posted, you can’t blame people for posting to it if it’s on Page 1. Thus, two threads get going at once. If the mods think it’s redundant, they’d close it, no? So maybe relax about it, eh?
I should have written Bushes’. If that’s indeed how you spell it in the plural.
You know, harping does go on in other places besides this board. Also, I’d note that many Republicans I know still bring up the Clinton thing rather often when one of the Bushes is criticized for a lapse in ethics.
So, I’d suggest that perhaps your history, and your assessment of my opinion, are in error, and you’ve drawn a couple faulty conclusions from a bad premise.

State attorney says no crime in Schiavo case, ending inquiry.
It seems that it’s finally over. Godspeed, Terry.
Finally, something to cheer about. Michael Schiavo, you’ve done well by your wife. May you now enjoy the happiness you’ve earned, and may the next 15 years be better than the last.
CJ
So, I take it that ol’ Jeb will now publicly apologize to Michael for inflicting this last trip through the wringer on the man?
crickets chirping
Thanks, I almost snorted hot coffee out of my nose.
Yeah, that one’s over. You want something to get your blood boiling all over again, though? Take a gander.
That article’s so biased they had to velcro the letters to the page so they wouldn’t slide off…
Some novel medical ideas in that report…very novel. They might make an interesting novel for the credulous.
Just one question, as this particular forensic postulate intrigues me: what on earth is “neck rigidity consistent with manual strangulation”??? What mysterious force produces said rigidity without external bruising or damaged neck cartilage, which would have been found on hospital admission and/or at autopsy?
Wonder if Bill Frist, Dr. Video Diagnosis, will find this sufficient to launch a Justice Dept. probe.
Even good ol’ Mark Fuhrman is weighing in. The blurb says
I wonder what his conclusions are? :rolleyes:
*Bolding mine.
I’d also like to note, just in case it’s missed, that this article isn’t something that came out a month ago right after they released the autopsy report. This was published yesterday.
