Wow. Complicitly murderous groupies.

Bush meets with ‘friendly circle’ of military bloggers.

On Friday, President Bush “sat down for a round-table interview” with military bloggers and talked about the war in Iraq. As the Washington Post notes, the blogs at the meeting were “generally pro-Bush and pro-military, and the ensuing reports were highly sympathetic to the president”:

Matthew Burden, a former Army officer who blogs under the name Blackfive, raved about how Bush slapped his hand and called him “brutha.”

“The President was very intelligent, razor sharp, warm, focused, emotional (especially about his dad), and genuine,” Blackfive wrote. “Even more so than this cynical Chicago Boy expected. I was overwhelmed by the sincerity — it wasn’t staged.”

When it was all over, the bloggers seemed wowed. “All in all, it was an amazing day for Military.com and one I’ll never forget,” Carroll wrote. “In fact, I’d rank the event a close second to the time I sat in with Cheap Trick. It was that good.”

Can we impeach Bush for getting that BJ now?

1. If even one of them blogged something critical of Dubya that

poor bastard would find himself/herself getting the equivalent of a flogging in shitty duty assignments. That person would regret the day they were born. When I was in the Navy I was under rule of the UCMJ. Normal civilian rights DO NOT APPLY.

This blog fest was a setup sham for the kool aiders.

3. Oh for god's sake--"slapped his hand and called him brutha"--

Bush once shook my husband's hand and said, "Thank you for your service" during a base visit, and my husband didn't come away starstruck, or feel SPESHUL. It's what politicians do, everyday. Why is this dimwit blogger so impressed?
