Bush Commuted Sentence Of Biggest Killer Of All Time

Henry Lee Lucas was the biggest serial killer ever. Lucas confessed to involvement in about 600 murders, with an average of about one murder per week between his release from prison in mid-1975 to his arrest in mid-1983. He later recanted some of the murders, and the murder total was closer to 350, but you can say for sure he was a scumbag and deserved a tough sentence for his crimes.

At his trial in Texas, Lucas was ultimately convicted of 11 homicides and put on Death Row. You know how Texas loves to kill people. Minors? Retarded? No problem. They will fry you.

Now cut to when George Bush was governor of Texas. In his six years, "Jesus Freak" Bush oversaw 152 people to death. He was so proud and shameless of his death record I once saw him mocking a woman who was pleading for her life on TV. "Mr. Sanctity Of Life" had a hard-on for killing humans. But, for the sake of this story, just assume that's his thing. Bush, in his twisted little boy mind, kills the baddies.

But what if you were the worst of the worst? You were convicted of killing the most people ever. You're the worst person in the world. How would Bush treat the devil incarnate? In 1998, George Bush spared the life of Henry Lee Lucas. Think about that. There were 153 Death Row cases put before Gov. Bush and he commuted only one death sentence to life in prison. Only one. The 152 other people were killed. Bush intervened and commuted Henry Lee Lucas' death sentence to life in prison. Lucas ended up dying in 2001 in prison.

There may be some controversy, and I believe capital punishment is highly flawed, but isn't fitting that Bush spared the life of one of the worst people ever.

What Bush Does Best: Hypocrisy

A snippet from Michael Carmichael's article, Bush the Pot calls Mugabe the Kettle, "Undemocratic". In a stolen election by Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, Bush knows how he feels firsthand.

"As the most unpopular president in US history now in the waning months of his forlorn presidency Bush frets and yearns for his place in history. With his presidency marred by an illegal war, stained by war-crimes, tattooed by torturers and infected with the historical equivalent of the AIDS virus, cancer and clinical insanity, Bush is now seeking a phantasmagoric form of presidential redemption. In recent weeks, Bush made his hand-wringing farewell tour of the globe to pose and plead on the world stage in the vain hope of redeeming his pathetic presidency.

With his hopes fading for an accolade that will redeem him from the dustbin of hated world leaders eligible for war crimes prosecution, Bush is feverishly pressuring nations in the Middle East to come to terms and make peace as hurriedly as possible. Even today, secret negotiations between Israel and Syria are unfolding against a backdrop of fretful presidential pressures designed not so much to make peace as to provide him with a terribly weak alibi for the carnage in the train wreck of his putrid presidency.
"

More here.

Great last sentence:

"Bush is now so self-deluded that he imagines that nobody in the world sees him for what he really is: a naked tyrant without one shred of democratic legitimacy to his name."
