Here's something I sent in as a comment to a recent New York Times editorial (July 25, 2008 EDITORIAL, Wounded Warriors, Empty Promises http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/25/opinion/25fri1.html) which I thought might give you a chuckle or two:
Well, I guess the wounded warriors can always settle for the great consolation of GW Bush flying his warplane, all dressed up in his itsy-bitsy yellow pilot suit, all the way to Baghdad to get photographed sharing some phony plastic Thanksgiving turkey with their comrades.
What's that you said? He had worn that pilot suit to fly to the carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to announce "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!", NOT for the photo-op with Thanksgiving turkey? Wow! That IS a consolation!
