I know I had read about that elsewhen, but had completely forgotten the creepiness.Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, who lost her son in Iraq, recently described a visit to the George W Bush White House in terms that suggest she saw him step right out of his skin. "His mouth kept moving, but there was nothing in his eyes," [...] "His eyes were empty, hollow shells" [... He was] repeatedly addressing the grieving parent [Sheehan] as "Ma" [...] and most disturbing, saying, I can’t even imagine losing a loved one, a mother or a father or a sister or a brother," when he had, at the age of six, lost his beloved three-year old sister Robin to leukemia.
Justin Frank writes in Bush on the Couch:
Robin died in New York in October 1953; her parents spent the next day golfing in Rye, attending a small memorial service the following day before flying back to Texas. George learned of his sister's illness only after her death, when his parents returned to Texas, where the family remained while the child's body was buried in a Connecticut family plot. There was no funeral.
Yeah, these people are heartless and soulless.
