		<description>Shameful misuse of an 8 year old child who has no idea what she is parroting. Her pathetic excuse for parents should be ashamed of themselves.

JR, if/when you view the video, I don&#039;t think that you would approve either.

		<description>Yeah Steven I kinda figured. The guy is like 80 years old.

Boy the right aint treating it that way. To some of them, this is evidence of how human the bush family is. &quot;How touching and tender!&quot; But to others? &quot;He should be ashamed of himself, breaking down and blubbering like that!&quot;

On the little girl video. I of course still can&#039;t see it. But word is BillO had parts of it doctored before he aired what he did! Seems this little girl ........well the way one person put it &quot;tore Bill a new one!&quot;

		<description>JR,

I checked out the video about Bush 41 crying.  When it happened, he was talking about how Jeb had handled a political defeat some time in the past.  It really wasn&#039;t anything to get excited about.  Pretty boring and pitiful, actually.

		<description>OK webtv has no video capability so I can&#039;t see it. But I think I found the video I mentioned before.

Heh heh No WONDER O&#039;Reilly is pissed! The video is called &quot;The coolest 8 year old in the world talks about Bill O&#039;Reilly and religion&quot;.

BillO did not say or play the parts that attacked him. He just sputtered about how the parents are guilty of emotional abuse.

Maybe this explains BillO?

By the way? Before you take me apart for laughing, remember I have not seen the video.

		<description>OK a couple things.

First, I understand that poppy Bush busted down bawling while speaking somewhere. Anybody got the story on that?

Second. Hoo boy the Oreilly is up in arms! Apparently there is some video on the web of a kid.

They showed part of it but would not say where to find it.

The kid is like 7 or 8, cute little thing. She is in very good vocabulary attacking organized religion!

paraphrasing part of it...

&quot;Why would you make me go to church? Religion has been responsible for more bloodshed than the Taliban or the Republican party.&quot;

There was lots more. Now while I grant you, it is a BIT exploitive to use a child in this way, I hardly think teaching a child that Republicans are evil is CHILD ABUSE as O&#039;reilly suggested. Hey I teach my kid that. Heh heh nutcase O&#039;reilly wants the parents jailed. I wonder if he would feel the same if there was a kid saying &quot;George bush is a wonderful godly man!&quot;

Anyways, the video is worth seeing if you can find it.

		<description>Well Dubya, that was &quot;interesting&quot;. I wonder if I can get Gloria Allred to represent me, being as I&#039;m all offended and stuff. The guy looked like some kind of sissy to me, but that&#039;s just my opinion.

		<description>Could the abortion pill (the REAL one, not the morning after pills which are not abortion pills) RU 486 actually prevent breast cancer in women?  The drug is being used experimentally as a progesterone blocker, which is showing promise in mice bred with the breast cancer genes.

		<description>Neufeld is the new Kansas speaker of the house.

Too few people know how important this position is.  I&#039;m disappointed, but he promises to not be a dictator and work with all the people.

I just hope he really means that and not the way Bush means it.
