Boy do I wish I was kidding!
Here's the basics. A Vietnam War veteran with three Purple Hearts has given one of them to fearless leader Bush. Because the poor thing has been attacked so viciously.
My head is still spinning from the sheer outrageousness of this.
Follow me below for the full horror.
Cove veteran presents Purple Heart to President Bush
I saw this story over at Crooks and Liars. Decorated Texas Vet Presents G-Dub With A Purple Heart
Bill and Georgia Thomas of Cove, Texas went to the White House today to give George Bush one of the Purple Hearts that Bill Thomas won in the Vietnam War. I know. Pick yourself up off the ground and follow me.
Thomas said he and his wife came up with the unprecedented idea to present the president with the Purple Heart over breakfast one morning a few months ago as they discussed the verbal attacks, both foreign and domestic, the commander in chief has withstood during his time in office.
Poor Bush! Being picked on by all the nasty people all over the world who disagree with him! How shocking! Bring me a fainting couch!
I'm often accused of Bush Derangement Syndrome. Sure. I'll admit it. Everything he does infuriates me beyond words! The amazing hypocrisy of this man to accept the medal. Let's talk about his greatest injuries. Facial lacerations due to his inability to eat pretzels.
More facial lacerations caused by falling off a Segway.
Even more lacerations caused by falling of his bicycle.
Of course! Now I see how very much he deserves a Purple Heart!
Crooks and Liars documents very thoroughly the horrors Bush has been responsible for. For a more serious, less snark filled writeup go check them out.
