Poor Dumbyasshole and his poodle! The two wounded armchair warriors are so courageous! And their "suffering" is immeasurable! As idiot Laura Bush said, no one suffers more than the Dumbyasshole! These folks would have been so funny had this not been such a tragic disaster. :-((

"Every day we read about the carnage in Iraq. About more U.S. soldiers and Iraqis being wounded, being killed, the destroyed lives and the shattered families. But that is nothing, nothing I tell you, compared to the hell that George Bush and Tony Blair went through during an attack by reporters during a White House press conference last week. At least that's David Broder's take on it:

The two wounded warriors stood side by side in the sunshine of the White House Rose Garden. Tony Blair and George Bush, partners in a transatlantic alliance that has come a cropper in Iraq, tried to shield each other from the slings and arrows of two nations' reporters.

Bush upbraided British journalists for "trying to do a tap dance" on the "political grave" of the soon-to-depart prime minister. Blair chided European politicians who, seeking what he called "the easiest round of applause, get up and attack America" and its president.

By the end of an agonizing half-hour news conference, what they had left was their shared conviction that their nations stand alone, together, against an evil menace in the world.


If David Broder wants to see what real wounded warriors look like, he need to visit Walter Reed or its British equivalent. He needs to spend some quality time at a field hospital or at a civilian hospital in Iraq. What he doesn't need to do is to somehow equate these two armchair warriors with the people who are paying a real price for their war."
