Did you switch the cups around?
Never, EVER use the word “integrity” when talking about John McButtface.
Carrying out the rule of law and letting an execution to proceed should be something absent personal feeling toward the matter. That means divorcing one's self from either supporting the execution of the condemned or trying to stop it based on your own convictions.
The death of another person is sometimes necessary. It should never be mocked or gloated about.
“This comment caught my eye”
BREAKING NEWS: People on the Internet can lie.
Karla Faye was nothing. She was a kneejerk killer.
Betty Lou was a thoughtful and hard-working kind of gal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Lou_Beets
Too busy starting a land war in Asia, so no.
“Bush chose to spread rumours that McCain had fathered a black child out of wedlock, and McCain’s adopted Bangladeshi daughter was used as the proof. Bush won the closely contested primary.”
That wasn’t Bush or his campaign, it was independent PACs. Candidates have no control over that, and it’s illegal for them to try to tell them what to say or not.
Who cares if he did and I find it hilarious that leftists are still seething at Lee Atwater for taking the gloves off.
If so, she DESERVED it.
I'm asking it because I believed it at the time, but later somebody challenged me and said he was convinced Bush nevr did that, or at least that Bush's response was characterized as contemptuous only because of the interviewer's biased (mis)interpretation.
In any case, thank God McCain was not president when 9/11 hit.
That’s ok. I’m immune to iocane powder.
“’Please,’ Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, ‘don’t kill me.’ ... ‘It’s tough stuff,’ Bush says, suddenly somber, ‘but my job is to enforce the law.’”
One of Bush’s better moments. It cracked me up too
Karla confessed to having multiple orgasms as she chopped up her victims—really sick stuff.
Her lawyers may have pled to stop her execution, but I remember seeing a couple of interviews where she said she was Christian and she was at peace with being executed.
“Bush did the right thing”
Bush couldn’t stop it anyway. The Texas Gov can only give a 30 day stay and the parole board decides again.
Karla claims to have had an orgasm with each blow of the pickax.
BTW, I have the last cloth doll she made. No, I’m not one of the death sentence fans. It was pure happenstance. Cute doll with no bad vibes.
She married the prison chaplain.
My stepbrother was a classroom teacher at the Huntsville Texas prison where Karla was executed. He taught prisoners trying to earn their GED’s.
His classroom had big windows that overlooked the walkway the prisoners about to be executed had to be escorted down. He saw quite a few “dead men walking” and Karla Faye Tucker was one of them.
I have a pretty good memory, and recall it just as I described it.
I have no link. It was early in the campaign.
