As violence in Iraq continues -- clashes today left 11 dead and 19 injured -- President Bush has for the first time revealed the great sacrifice he's made for the sake of our soldiers: he's given up golf.
"I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf," he said. "I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal."
Bush said he made that decision after the August 2003 bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad, which killed Sergio Vieira de Mello, the top U.N. official in Iraq and the organization's high commissioner for human rights.
"I remember when de Mello, who was at the U.N., got killed in Baghdad as a result of these murderers taking this good man's life," he said. "I was playing golf -- I think I was in central Texas -- and they pulled me off the golf course and I said, 'It's just not worth it anymore to do.'"
Well, woop-de-fucking-doo, Mr. Bush.
While you've given up golf, young Americans have given up an arm, a leg, even their lives for your war for Exxon and Hallibuton.

Come on! He went on Deal or No Deal for the troops. What more do you want?
Reprehensible doesn't even BEGIN to describe this. Guy probably looks upon giving up caviar as a hunger strike and "extreme hardship" as not having a precisely warmed towel waiting when he steps out of the shower.
One hopes for an extra-special circle of Hell.
The BDS crowd gets more funnyier and loonnier by the day. It makes great humor also.

Not nearly as funny as the BTL Crowd however.
