george and laura to visit wounded soldiers before

[BOSSHOG]

they head for Camp David for the weekend. This must be incredibly inconvenient and uncomfortable for them. Visiting volunteers who got hurt doing their job. What's the big deal? And they'll have to fake concern and sympathy. (Again and again. That must really be getting old.) Surely george is thinking they don't go visit people who get injured in car wrecks and as "conservative" scholars tells us all the time, getting killed or hurt in car wrecks is much more widespread then being involved with the just and rightous "christian" conflict in Iraq. Its really ashame that they can't start there long weekend earlier.

1. kinda like that snippet on the news last night where George the Scourge

assured us that he was "well aware people were getting killed due to his decisions". Rather than being heartfelt he came off as angry that people keep rubbing that fact in his oh-so-ugly and getting uglier by the day face.

I'm sure they'll both emerge all teary eyed and grateful that all the soldiers told them what a great job Bu$h's doing and how they support him to the end.

:mad:

2. It's the least they can do

If they didn't visit, people would be screaming that they didn't care.

I detest these two as much as the next gal does but, other than this seeming no more than a photo op, I can't really fault them for going.

4. Certainly a conundrum for me

They do not care one iota about those kids except for the photo opportunity. If I were one of those kids I'd ask to be taken to another ward during their visit. I wouldn't be screaming they don't care because they haven't cared from day one, the same applies to every "conservative" in this country. Their visit is an insult to every wounded serviceperson in that hospital.

5. I know...it seems so insincere

I'm trying to look at it with the politics taken out but I really can't. If I felt he really cared about these people and their familieis it would be different.

But I do think he HAS to go. I just wish he wasn't such an arrogant prick and really felt compassion.

3. "Inconvenient and uncomfortable"? For Bush, it's holiday cheer!

He should have some nice jokes to crack to reporters about it.
