3 DAYS 'til E-DAY

 

CAPTAIN'S LOG, Stardate 10.30.04

 

A picture worth remembering....

One photo of George Bush stands out in my mind. If the same image

was embedded in voters minds, it would be enough to turn the country

around.

 

Remember George Bush's smirk at the death of Carla Faye Tucker?

That one photo demonstrates the spirit of Bush. And THAT spirit has

infected the nation with its HATE and DIVISION.

 

Does anyone wonder why the nation is so bitter and divided?

 

The spirit of Bush alienates allies, inflames terrorists, damages

our electoral process, corrupts the government, and will (in time)

bring the nation to its knees if Bush succeeds once more in deceiving

enough voters and/or steals an election.

 

The wizard behind the curtain, KARL ROVE, is of the same spirit --

as are JOHN ASHCROFT, DONALD RUMSFELD, DICK CHENEY, PAUL WOLFOWITZ,

and TOM DeLAY.

 

So, here again is the photo I wish all of you would share with

friends, relatives and neighbors....

We reveal ourselves in small moments, and one of those small

moments that didn't get nearly the play it should have was the Carla

Faye Tucker incident. Carla Faye Tucker had committed a terrible

murder when she was a much younger woman and crack-addicted and her

boyfriend was involved in it; he got a life sentence, and she ended up

on death row in Texas.

 

While on death row she converted to Christianity, she was

born-again, and all accounts are that she turned her life around, and

was doing good works in prison like teaching and counseling people.

 

She asked to meet with George W. Bush before she was executed, not

to plead for her life, she said, but to discuss with him issues

related to the death penalty. He understandably refused to meet with her.

 

The execution went ahead. And when Bush was asked by the

conservative journalist Tucker Carlson shortly thereafter what he

thought Carla Faye Tucker might have said to him in that meeting had

it taken place, he put on a squeaky little voice and said, " Please

don't kill me! Please don't kill me! "

 

Now, it takes a special kind of guy to ridicule a woman he's just

put to death. If that doesn't demonstrate a lack of gravitas, as well

as a lack of dignity and self-respect, I don't know what does. This is

a man who had already spent some years now as the governor of the

state, had presided over executions before, and should've realized

that putting somebody to death is serious business, not an occasion

for frat-boy humor. So--experience, aptitude, temperament: I think

Bush falls short in all three.

 

The look on Bush's face as he mocked her!

" `Please,' Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation,

`don't kill me.' " -Talk Magazine, Sept. 1999
