george bush on the nature of sacrifice

so he says he gave up golf to demonstrate "solidarity" with the families of soldiers who were dying in iraq, claiming he made the decision on the day a truck bomb killed u.n. representative sergio vieira de mello and several others.

i saw this, laughed and flashed immediately back to that promo for michael moore's "fahrenheit 911," which closes with a clip of bush on a golf course, demonstrating his appreciation of the gravity of global terrorism by saying, “i call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers,” and then adding, as he winds up for his swing, “now watch this drive."

i dunno about you, but i'm willing to bet that the day the white house saw that trailer is the day bush gave up golf.
