Bush Shows Up Six Weeks Late to View Devastation From 'Hurricane Walter Reed'

[politicaholic]

President declares, "I kicked that
bionic guy's ass at arm wrasslin'!"

*New! Apology Bush Action Figure, Just Pull The String And It Says*:

"It is not right to have someone volunteer to wear the uniform and not get the best possible care," the president said at the end of his more than two-hour visit, cut short from its planned length by almost an hour. "I apologize for what they went through and we're going to fix the problem."

...evenutally...

So he shows up six weeks late, obviously because his intensive internal review which concluded:

President George "The buck stops; could you please take two steps away from me General? Thanks. Right there" Bush -

"The problems at Walter Reed were caused by bureaucratic and administrative failures,"

...that stem from my and my vice president's rampant cronyism...

And then he leaves an hour early because, uhhhhh, it stunk in there? The mold was getting to his hay fever? The intense air of heroism was suffocating his cowardice?

Prediction - Walter Reed hospital will be cleared out, the property will be fenced and lie dormant for number of years only occupied by more rats. It will make a great spot for local teens to have a place to drink and screw until another President comes along and 'donates' the land to a developer for low income/high profit housing.

Meanwhile there's dickwad (Bush) lobbing empty promises and giving insincere apologies. How do I know? Please visit New Orleans and get back to me. Thank you.

1. And his care and concern

will be just as genuine and effective as it was for the victims of Katrina. Whatever "aid" or attempts to ameliorate the awful conditions/situation at Walter Reed will be just as f-ed up as New Orleans. They'll squander a lot of tax money and nothing will change for the better. Bushies, Neocons and Repubs talk, lecture and spout hypocritical pieties about family, religion, "supporting the troops" and all their other crap but they really don't give a shit about anything except themselves, hating/fearing everyone who isn't exactly like them, and making more money. It's all talk. It's all surface. It all means nothing. Don't fucking lecture me about "supporting our troops" and then leave them to rot. My heart breaks for the brave vets who have to rot in a hole like Walter Reed after making huge sacrifices for their country. It's an absolute disgrace. But it will be forgotten soon just like Abu Ghraib. Hell, Anna Nicole takes precedence on the news. If I was one of the vets at Walter Reed I would have spat on Bush.

2. The bastard blamed the conditions at Walter Reed on bureaucracy.

Bureaucracy my ass. Funny how bureaucracy doesn't get in the way of the Halliburton no friggen bid contracts. Bush's people tried to hide the conditions at Walter Reed. It took a reporter working undercover to reveal the problem.

Greed is the only value for Republicans.

4. Well, they want to completely privatize everything, so basic services can be for profit

its no secret that they want to do this.

Blaming ambiguous "bureaucracy" and "big government" is just the first step.

3. I saw him speaking about that yesterday, and I couldn't help but think

"damn, Bush, you're just a little late to the party on this one"
