11. Or lacking any f*cking arms and/or legs.

That f*cking cretinous, simpleton f*ck has no f*cking shame.

F*ck.

4. And yet.....he was seen golfing 2 months after he 'sacrificed golf'

WHADDA' GUY


The epitome of a lying, deceiving Satan worshipper

8. Well, in all fairness to the Chimp in Chief...

... we're still at war more than five years after he declared "mission accomplished." It seems Mr. President has a little trouble identifying the exact time when something has truly ended. :grr:

6. Joe Kapp

Joe Kapp, who was the quarterback at Rose Bowl champion Cal in the late fifties and many years later Cal's head coach for a brief time, vowed never to sip tequila until Cal once again won the Rose Bowl. To put it in perspective, Mr. Kapp calls his abstention from tequila "a small sacrifice."

There is something quaint and charming about a former football hero giving something, although not something important, as if to influence an event that is of no importance. Whether Cal ever plays in the Rose Bowl again won't save one life in Iraq, prevent one terrorist attack anywhere or encourage more people to vote for a wise man like Obama over schmucks like Bush and McCain.

If Cal loses a football game, the sky is still blue and the grass is still green, unless Bush and his cronies in the fossil fuel industry have any thing to say about it.

War does a lot worse things than bang up somebody's knee. It bring real devastation and hardship. Four thousand American soldiers have been killed and tens of thousands of Iraqis have died as a direct result of the war while comparative death rates before and after the US invasion of Iraq show that hundreds of thousands more Iraqis die under US occupation than under Saddam's brutal rule, crippling sanctions and all. Bush, either through malice or incompetence, has posited an Iraq that is worse than Saddam's Iraq.

And Bush gives up golf. Like this were just a case of his favorite team not winning for a long stretch and he makes some small, symbolic sacrifice that we all know really doesn't help but makes him feel better for doing it. The Geneva Conventions should be so quaint in his eyes.

Instead, he should resign the presidency.

10. Beautiful post...which clearly illuminates Bush's sociopathic nature.

He has absolutely no sense of propriety, of proportion, or any miniscule degree of human empathy.

[ColonelTom]

7. Mr. President, giving up this...

is not sacrifice.

THIS

is sacrifice.

THIS

is sacrifice.

THIS

is sacrifice.

Got it?

Good.

9. Cenk's statement, describing Bush...

"Whatta child!" Hmm..

"A biological theory that has been around for a long time is that, for reasons unknown, some of the psychopath's brain structures mature at an abnormally slow rate. The basis for this theory is twofold: similarities between the EEGs (recorded brain waves) of adult psychopaths and those of normal adolescents; and similarities between some of the psychopath's characteristics - including egocentricity, impulsivity, selfishness, and unwillingness to delay gratification - and those of children. To some investigators, this suggests that psychopathy reflects little more than a developmental delay. Harvard psychologist, Robert Kegan, for example, has argued that behind Cleckley's 'mask of sanity' {Hervey Cleckley; The Mask of Sanity} lies not insanity but a young child of nine or ten."
