Bush makes another leap

Well, good for him, I suppose, but I thought his wife made him promise not to do this again.

I was sipping latte in Starbucks this morning with my other liberal friends and we were talking about how we wanted his chute to malfunction.

Happy Birthday! And bravo!

Re: RS.
That is trouble with liberals full of hate.

How does a post that hopes for the death of a former President actually get shown here?

Yep, RS, that's pretty much what good people of expect of you and your liberal friends: wishing death upon nice people. Hilarious.

RS...one could only hope that should a skydiver's parachute not open, that he falls on you or one of your liberal friends.

Who pays for these US Army parachute team jumps for the former prez. ???? (Just thought I'd act like a republican wet blanket. i"m glad he's down safe.). I actually think Bush Sr. is a much better person than GWB.

To RS,
Regarding your comment...spoken like a true liberal.

Y'know, politics aside, he's a decent guy who's served his country in many different facets. He's a great example and inspiration to people of all ages, but particularly "older" folks. Go for it! Enjoy life!

RS that's a pretty ignorant comment regardless of your politics. Glad to hear you were enjoying your latte while the rest of us were working.

Chute to malfunction? Undoubtedly you talking about the wrong George. This guy makes Clinton look like a two bit player in Grease.

RS, that's a nice thought; here's another one: hoping you get hit by a bus before day's end. Amazing what comments "people" come up with.

If it were not for men like Goerge H Bush, you may still be sitting in a coffee shop and talking about how you wish his chute would malfunction, only you'd be eating strudel and speaking German.

RS....and if that was your Dad up there?

Hey everyone.....I think RS is pulling your legs.....trying to get a rise out of all of you! And, guess what? RS succeeded!

RS is not really a liberal. He is pretending to be one for effect.

I am a real liberal and want to wish President Bush a very real Happy Birthday.

Let's hope RS gets scholded on his next trip to Starbucks.

Why do people have to be so vicious (RS) it is such a shame that there are so many nasty people around. maybe you should choke on your latte.

I want all them old Republicans to live long so they can see how badly they screw the American people and we Americans took the country back from they rich sleezeballs to prosper in a honorable and honest way that the rest of the world will respect.

People people people, don't feed the troll (RS).

Liberals and the media want you to believe it's Conservatives and the Right who hate but in the REAL WORLD it's the Left, The Media, and Liberals who are full of the HATE. That's the problem with Liberals, they are living in Fantasy Land.

I'm very happy to share my birthday with George. I am an independent and don't enjoy hatred extended by either party. I do like birthday parties.

You guys are pretty dense if you don't realise RS was just trying to be darkly sarcastic.

Geez, have you kids never heard of sarcasm?? RS's comment is clearly sarcastic.

I say good for Mr. Bush. Not what I would want to do, but good for him. May he live healthy and happy and do this again at 90. Didn't care for him as President, but he seems like a decent man.

I don't know who runs this so-called blog, but to allow a post that wishes death on someone needs to be banned!!!

I don't care whether you like the person or not. He's 85 y/o, served his country well, both in the AF and white house. I applaude the man!! One other thing, whatever that drop cost, he deserves it!!! There is alot more money poured down the drain from the present admin!!!

Michael Scott, amen, I didn't agree with his politics but they were a heck of a lot more acceptable than his son's. Also, the man served his country and should not be spoken about in that way. Stay young George!

To g wyshak, spencer, PS, Patricia

Try looking up the word "Sarcasm" sometimes. Education is your friend.

And so is RS.

Come on, guys...does RS really sound like a liberal to you? You can't be THAT gullible, right?

He sounds like a non-liberal trying to: 1) Poke fun at the Starbucks latte-sipping liberals stereotype, and/or 2) Paint liberals as irrational, hatred-filled people.

This liberal has great admiration for the first President Bush. He served the country in war, dedicated much of his life to public service, and has spent parts of the past decade on humanitarian missions w/ Bill Clinton. I really love his energy and spirit. Skydiving for his 85th birthday? Awesome! :-)

He and Roger Gentilhomme are great role models for what people can do even as they approach (and reach) the century mark!

Happy birthday, President Bush, and may you enjoy many, many more!

I agree with RS....a nose dive would have made my latte soooo tasty!

Ah, fooey on Foon Rhee too; by the time she typically gets around to censoring~approving comments posted in the evening, by the few Globe readers who still have "day jobs" some ADD'd editor will have removed the story from the .com's home page, never to be seen again! -- A profound discouragement to anyone attempting to post a thoughtful response in the midst of all the knee-jerk daytime clamor here...

I'll bet that very year -- those Secret Service agents who are forced to jump along with him, try to get him drunk-enough on his birthday, so that he'll forget about doing this...

isn't Bush 1 a skull and bones satanist?

Liberal left and conservative right are just two sides of the same coin. Bush Sr. was an ass hole who decried the New World Order and began his presidency by breaking promises like NO MORE NEW TAXES! What a douche bag. Then we get his prodigy the moron that broke 3 companies and who only excelled in his mediocrity, Bush Jr really only screwed up when he started actually doing work. The first 3 months he was a decent president because he was always on vacation.

Now we have Obama who is fixing the economy that was created by borrowing too much and wasteful spending by....... borrowing more money and wasting Billions on companies that have already proven they cannot make a profit.

Like Chris Rock says, "when it comes to money I am conservative and when it comes to prostitution I am liberal." Anyone that has already made up there mind as to which side of the coin they fall on according to some sort of Imaginary political leanings are just trying to keep their eyes closed to the truth that is kicking them in the pocket book.

Nobody really thinks RS is a liberal and that any bit of his comment was more than the BS of a dimwitted neo-con, do you? None of you could be that stupid, could you?. :-(

RS is a rightwing troll masquerading as a 'liberal'. no one except a winger would write such crap and i don't know any progressives who sell identify as liberals and use the word 'latte' in a political forum. liberal and latte are too clearly dog whistle words for rightwing nutjobs.

O.K. let us discuss insensitive comments here and never forget dear Mrs. Bush who following Katrina said; "And so many of the people in the arena here, you
know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this (she
chuckles slightly) is working very well for them."
Wow R.S. you have sure made a splash here. just a thought you shared and you're looking like a celebrity just wait till Hannity and O'reilly get a hold of your comment hahahahah!
