Of War and Golf

Transcript:

Finally tonight, as promised, a Special Comment on two topics a lot of us had foolishly thought, had naively hoped, we would not again have to address… and a third topic nobody thought a president would ever seriously mention in public unless perhaps he'd just been hit in the head with something and was not in full possession of his faculties - how he expressed his "empathy" to the families of the dead in Iraq - by giving up golf.

The President has resorted anew to the sleaziest fear-mongering and mass manipulation of an administration - of a public life - dedicated to realizing the lowest of our expectations.

And he has now applied these poisons to the 2008 presidential election, on behalf of the party at whose center he and Mr. McCain lurk.

Mr. Bush has predicted that the election of a Democratic president could, "eventually lead to another attack on the United States."

This ludicrous, infuriating, holier-than-thou and most importantly bone-headedly wrong statement came yesterday during an interview with Politico-dot-com and on-line users of Yahoo.

It gets worse as you read. Of course we knew he was going to use the fearmongering, warmongering tactic to get people to believe the bull that Iraq has stopped another attack on the US. I still cannot figure out how this man ever got any votes.

Oh and the title of war and golf is because he later tells people that he stopped playing golf because he does not want the parents of dead soldiers to see him playing golf, for their moral.

A gift dragoness from me to you!
I watched it last night and have passed it on to adj and now to you and anyone else who will watch it.

The first 10 min or so is very interesting. The whole thing is just 25 min.

You must watch,

I voted for him. He's just too much for me now. He's hurt this country with a war that we're borrowing money to pay for. Don't get me wrong. I'm all about defending this nation from terrorists, but it really isn't accomplishing much anymore. Besides, can we really fix anything over there anyway?

I'd still vote for him over Obama, Clinton or McCain.

well i would guess yes the united states will be attacked (noncoventually) but i aint so sure it will matter much who is in charge at least for the first four years
