CRAWFORD, Texas - President Bush will spend part of his Thanksgiving Day calling soldiers to express his and the nation's gratitude for their service in Iraq.

A senior administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Bush would call "a number of" soldiers. The official did not provide specifics, but at least one of the intended recipients of the president's personal thanks is recovering in Germany from injuries suffered in the Iraq war.

This mother f*cker is on another "extended vacation" while people are dying halfway across the world because they wanted a college education and others are lucky to get a half day off from Walmart and we're supposed to believe this arrogant SOB is compassionate?

I don't think so.

1. Meanwhile, back at the pResidential Pig Farm in Crawford

the Chimp-in-Chief sighed a big sigh of relief that he was never in a war zone, and managed to avoid over a year of military service by the clever device of going AWOL (only works if you have "friends in high places" nudge, udge, wink, wink).

Perfect headline, maybe Buzzflash will use it.

If it weren't so sad it would be hysterical.

3. It would be interesting to find out if he calls them by party

affiliation.

6. what would more interesting

is how many they had to ask before they found a couple that WOULD take Baghdad Bush's call

ya know that the ones that will be called have been screened and vetted so they would only have "positive" things to say... after all can't have one of the wounded telling Baghdad Bush that he's a freaking turkey

4. What a scoop!

Man, I just hope the anonymous source doesn't lose his job over this. It is the holidays after all. But I guess to get a story like this out it was worth the risk.

Here is the question-who is more stupid?The reporter who pretended that this was a leaked story or the people who read it and think it was a leaked story?
