...that it's only coming out of one eye.

Looks like glycerine to me....

Family of Dead Soldier Spit in Bush's Smug Face

At least his tear showed that maybe he has internalized that because of his orders that real people really die. Before, I wasn't sure that he had tumbled to that reality.

and judging by the looks of his nose, he's probably hitting the sauce again.

Weeping is a proper response. His tears are the only human thing we ever have seen coming from George W. Bush.

Combining the tears and the low approval in this piece ~ nice synergy!

More synergy: from a poster in today's "Since You Asked": Your emotions may have spent so many years having been cauterized that you cannot allow yourself to feel them about the thing itself; instead you watch a sad movie or a story about Iraq on the news and this [e]licits the tears.

The boy who liked to explode frogs may have no genuine humane emotions (cf Bush on the Couch by Justin Frank), at least in part thanks to his mom, aka "Queen Bitch."

Has he been to any military funerals yet? signed any condolence letters yet?

are for the lives stolen for oil. And my tears, BTW, come from the tear ducts on the inside, near my nose. This photo-op is a sham. Disgusting.

That this man could do at this point aside from resigning that would make me accept him.

I will only say that I do not hate him. In fact, though he is but a small fraction of a man, as a human being, I feel sorry for him. He has been in WAY, WAY OVER HIS HEAD SINCE 1/20/01.

I will at the same time again express absolute astonishment that anyone supports this man or anything that he has done. That, to me, is absolutely stunning.

Oh, O.K., Afghanistan. Too bad we didn't finish the job. Again.

Staged grief. These people have no souls. They are the undead. Ten more dead soldiers this week. If he wept proportionately, he'd do nothing but blubber. That might be the most constructive thing he's ever done in his pitiful coddled pussified life. The polls are still at least ten points too high. Make that twenty points.

Bravo, Locutus, you've hit the nail right on it's tiny, little right-winged pinhead!

It's the same for patriotism, too - when Democrats stand up and patriotically point out that the GOP and Bush are destroying this Great Republic's God-given Constitution, they are smeared. But when Bush destroys that Constitution, calls it just a piece of paper, arrogates to himself privileges not permitted to any citizen, then the GOP echo machine cheers him to the rafters.

Sheer hypocrisy, psychological projection and treason.

Thanks "mom" for pointing out something I missed the first time around: Namely that real tears originate from the tear ducts closest to the bridge of the nose, very rarely if ever from the outside orb of the eye, and most curious of all: Why just flowing like mad out of one eye, yet his other eye is dry?

This looks like a set up. Like everything else about Bush from his phony "Ranch" at Crawford where the cattle are brought in as stage props when Bush visits, to his fake and over-done Texas drawl and repeated idiotic "Nuk-u-lar" pronunciation.

Who knows who George Bush really is? I doubt that he himself knows. He's a product, he's a brand, he's a package, created from the imaginations of people like Karl Rove who have calculated and focus-grouped Bush's image to appeal the average dumbass American voter.

The think that makes me cry is that it works every time. People are suckers.

I am from the UK.

What are you all complainiong about? The war has served it's purpose. Haliburton has made billions. That was the whole purpose of the expedition, wasn't it? What's good for Haliburton is good for the U.S.A. (acknowledging Joseph Heller, Catch 22).

You have now lost 3,000 plus people, and for decades you are going to see derelicts shouting at traffic, begging on street corners, dying in gutters. They are going to be there, everywhere, with their severed limbs, their severed minds, their tortured souls, their shattered lives. And, unseen, will be the shattered lives of their families. The wives, children, parents, friends.

But let's be real. Billions of American tax payers' dollars have disappeared into the pockets of people who had billions of dollars in their pockets already. That's the American Way. I cannot criticise. I am from a different culture.

Tears come from the tearducts on both sides of the nose and really close to it. The liquid on Bushits face is anything but a tear, it is a lie like all the others before. Unless his nose is dry and his tearducts hook up to his ears, nooo , impossible. Lets call it what it is, a fake. My heart goes out to the family of this and all the other dead soldiers who died for and on behalf of this so called president, in real fact idiot.

Like OJ, he can't bring himself to admit that he is the reason these parents are grieving. He and his neocon's greed for oil and empire are the reason this fine upstanding soldier and so many more like him are dead, along with so many Iraqi civillians.

Like OJ, his hands are covered in innocent blood. Cry Clown Cry.

Rove goofed up on this one. Bush's hard core base will view the tear as a sign of weakness. Liberals and moderates will wonder it it was fake.

The US has lost another war to a third-world country. It makes me wonder why we blow $500 billion a year on a fighting force that would likely lose to Somalia.

God, that picture is like catnip, the funniest thing I've seen in weeks! Didn't anyone have a nice frilly pair of pink panties he could use to wipe those big, wet crocodile tears off his face?

Bush is becoming so much like Nixon, it's freaky. The simple fact is that he's become so uniquely despised -- and despicable -- that it's now virtually impossible to locate any core personality that others might recognize as truly human. He is consumed with self-pity, as petty, small-minded and thoroughly self-absorbed a human being as I've ever encountered, and I can think of no misfortune to befall him that wouldn't cause me to giggle with amusement.
