The pResident is the one that has to hug the moms and dads?...
I always like to see McClelland making a fool of himself (almost without any help... the members of the White House press corps are such wuzzes, a sorry excuse for reporters). I guess they haven't had a press briefing since Sept 10 but they had a "Press gaggle" (by the way, what is a press gaggle? I read this and, when you read it, you see that McClelland NEVER answers any questions! Anyway, I got this quote, which made me want to puke because IT IS NOT TRUE.

QUESTION: Scott, this is the second day in a row where is coming sort of face to face with some of the folks who have really faced front-line duty. Yesterday he was at the hospital with people who have been seriously injured, obviously. And then today, this unit that suffered a lot of losses and had their tour of duty extended. Is it hard for him to kind of come face to face with the people who have borne the brunt of the decisions that he made?

MR. McCLELLAN: We are forever grateful to our brave troops and their families for the sacrifices that they are making on behalf of the American people, and making America more secure. We can never fully express our gratitude. The President is THE ONE THAT HAS TO HUG THE MOMS AND DADS AND THANK THEM FOR THE SACRIFICES THAT THEIR SONS ARE MAKING in a very important cause, the war on terrorism. Our nation is forever grateful for the service and sacrifice of the men and women in uniform.

As far as I know, he has not hugged any of the mothers or fathers of dead soldiers. Is that not so? Why don't these wuzzes ask him for the occasion when he has done this?

1. I think he just met with 11 families of 3ID soldiers killed
while at Fort Stewart. They said that 40 had been killed. I wondered where the other 29 families were.

2. They were probably there,
but had to go with the others to one of those "free speech zones". Maybe they didn't pass the test of delievering kiss-up words that WA needs to hear every day.

3. Hundreds of U.S. troops
and thousands of innocent Iraqis are DEAD because of this man and we should worry about if it's hard for him to face the desctruction he has wrought?!?!?

4. A gaggle
Is a group of geese.

And also......... the pResident has to hug the moms and dads and thank them for the sacrifices that their SONS are making? I guess Lori Ann Piestewa's parents don't matter for shit then do they?

And you are right, who the hell has he hugged besides his fundraiser whores and his toiletbowl?
