Y’know, if I were part of one of the hundreds of families who have lost a member to the war in Iraq, I wouldn’t be very amused at all about Bush turning it into a joke…
Bush put on a slide show, calling it the “White House Election-Year Album” at the Radio and Television Correspondents’ Association 60th annual dinner, showing himself and his staff in some decidedly unflattering poses.
There was Bush looking under furniture in a fruitless, frustrating search. “Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere,” he said.
In fact, I’d be pretty damn pissed about it. Actually, I don’t even have had to have lost a loved one to be pissed.
Shmuck.
