Even in political season, some things transgress the pale and Preznit Desertion crosses the line pretty blithely. Which for a coward is pretty easy to do. Witness:
Hours after the gruesome pictures of an Iraqi mob mauling the charred corpses of four American contract workers sped around the world, President Bush swept into a huge ballroom in one of Washington's most affluent neighborhoods.
It was his final big fund-raiser, and hundreds of his supporters were gathered around $2,000-a-seat tables, picking at salads and catching up on Washington gossip.
Mr. Bush seemed all smiles. He did speak about Iraq, but not of the day's events. The White House spokesman, Scott McClellan, had denounced them on Mr. Bush's behalf as "horrific, despicable attacks."
Yet Mr. Bush's first reference to the country was a laugh line about his opponent, Senator John Kerry.
"Someone asked Senator Kerry why he had voted against the $87 billion funding bill to help our troops in Iraq," Mr. Bush said, repeating a routine that is now a highlight of his campaign stump speech.
"And here's what he said: `I actually did vote for the $87 billion — before I voted against it.' "
Laughter swept through the room. Mr. Bush paused and said, "Clears things up, doesn't it?"
John Kerry knowing that the vote was going to pass lodged a protest vote against a bill he felt did not go far enough to fund operations for the troops and was a pork-barrel for 1600 Crew toadies. Fearless Leader is questioning his patriotism and dedication. Funny, I never seem to remember seeing anything about one Drunken Fratboy Coward getting a suntan in the Mekong Delta. I do not recall one credible witness who ever saw him do his duty in Alabama.
There was once an old joke about Richard Nixon...that the best part of him was running down his mommy's leg...in the case of Fearless Leader, it's really, really true...he's about a half a spoon o'sperm short of being a decent a human being.
Dead soldiers..well, they're not our kind of people

Stock Portfolio going in the Dumper...Quick Invade!!

Thanks to Bush:
Every star on our flag represents the coffins of a dozen American service people and every stripe the shrouds of a thousand Iraqis.
People who hate the United States have unfettered access to the weapons and explosives amassed by Saddam.
Osama bin Laden is still roaming freely in the mountains of Afghanistan as heroin production spikes.

"Dead soldiers .. well, they're not our kind of people."
Jo, I thought you knew these things: of course not. Dead people contribute no funds to the GOP (nor, probably, do their survivors). Fuck 'em. They're DEAD. Move on to the next living target with money. Living + gullible is the best of all worlds....
