Our sanctimonious leader...

     "Please," Bush whimpers,  his lips pursed in mock desperation, "don't kill me."  

            Mocking a woman condemned to die.  Is this appropriate?      
                                                        
Karla's Final Words Prior to Death

I would like to say to all of you, the Thornton family and Jerry Dean's
family that I am so sorry.  I hope God will give you peace with this.
Baby, I love you.  Ron give Peggy a hug for me.  Everybody has been
so good to me.  I love all of you very much....
Karla Faye Tucker Brown - Feb-03-1998
In the weeks before the execution, Bush says, a number of protesters came to Austin to demand clemency for Karla Faye Tucker. "Did you meet with any of them?" I ask. Bush whips around and stares at me. "No, I didn't meet with any of them," he snaps, as though I've just asked the dumbest, most offensive question ever posed. "I didn't meet with Larry King either when he came down for it. I watched his interview with Tucker, though. He asked her real difficult questions like, "What would you say to Governor Bush?" "What was her answer?" I wonder. "Please," Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, "don't kill me." I must look shocked--ridiculing the pleas of a condemned prisoner who has since been executed seems odd and cruel--because he immediately stops smirking.

Bush denied that he had intended to make light of the issue.  conservative Tucker Carlson interviewed George W. Bush

"If you commute my sentence to life, I will continue for the rest of my life in this earth to reach out to others to make a positive difference in their lives." "I see people in here in the prison where I am who are here for horrible crimes, and for lesser crimes, who to this day are still acting out in violence and hurting others with no concern for another life or for their own life. I can reach out to these girls and try and help them change before they walk out of this place and hurt someone else." "I am seeking you to commute my sentence and allow me to pay society back by helping others. I can’t bring back the lives I took. But I can, if I am allowed, help save lives. That is the only real restitution I can give."  ~~~Karla Faye Tucker Brown
