		<description>But I&#039;m sure the timing is pure coincidence:

http://tinyurl.com/4pfz37

(snip)
Last summer, Bush suffered a minor muscle tear in his right calf and that injury, along with aching knees, forced him to abandon his running routine. The calf strain healed by August when he had his annual physical, but the president said in September that he suspected he had a meniscus tear.

The meniscus is the cartilage that lines the inside surfaces of the knee. It&#039;s a rubbery tissue that acts like a shock absorber between the upper and lower leg bones. There are two menisci, which help stabilize the knee joint. They&#039;re often injured or torn when we twist or pivot while playing sports, for example. And in older people, worn menisci are easier to tear.</description>

		<description>Ah, such sacrifices he makes for the common good.  Wasn&#039;t it Laurabot that said nobody suffered more than the President about the goings on in Iraq?  I mean, how many times can you dance with the natives and then tapdance on the Portico of the White House before people begin to believe you are such a sensitive soul?</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;citizen_pain Says:

Too bad Americans are too fat and lazy for another revolution.&lt;/em&gt;

Yesterday I saw some clips of some of those voters waddling into the polling places in West Virginia, my apologies to those who are heavy because of their metabolism, etc, but it really seems that a good sized portion of the populatiion are MENTALLY lazy along with being physically lazy. 

Those people are dragging this country backward while the rest of the world moves forward. A country with a population of ignorant dolts is not going to be able to compete with Europe, Asia and the rest.

The American people should have been screaming bloody murder to their Congressmen to get that rat out of the White House.
They have been enablers just like GW&#039;s parents, Harvard, Yale, Congress and all the cronies who bailed the spoiled frat boy out of his failed businesses.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;ebbAndflow Says:

So “clearing brush” instead of meeting with Cindy Sheehan didn’t
constitute an insult to a Mom whose son was killed?
The hypocrisy just continues.&lt;/em&gt;

The war criminal doesn&#039;t meet with or talk to citizens who disagree with his policies, even if they were the ones that had to sacrifice for those policies, like losing a son...he think&#039;s he only represents the Koolade drinkers and his base....&quot;the haves and the have mores&quot;....
all the rest of Americans are just enemies or suckers to be played to our sociopath-in-chief.</description>

		<description>PATHETIC.  SICKENING.  
So his personal contribution to the war effort is to stop playing golf, as that might upset military moms?
I am simply at a loss.  I don&#039;t know how much more of this I can take, and I don&#039;t know what the hell to do about it.

		<description>Let&#039;s see.....he doesn&#039;t want to play golf &#039;cause that might upset the mother of a dead soldier,....but it was OK to make a joke about &quot;those missing WMD&#039;s&quot;.....&quot;not under here&quot; as he crawled under his desk in a clip shown at the annual White House/Press dinner and the press at the dinner thought that was hilarious.

Those were same WMD&#039;s that HE lied about and the corporate media acted to &quot;catapult the propaganda (lies)&quot;.
Those lies got soldiers killed or maimed, but Bush and the corporate media lackies just yukkked it up over those silly missing WMD&#039;s ....HIlarious good fun, a real laugh fest.
The American people need to open their eyes...NOW!</description>

		<description>The whole interview is disgusting. He blamed the the Iraq war on the bad intelligence he DEMANDED.  He blamed the Democrats for acting allowing him to go to war on the intelligence which he demanded.   He has no accountability for anything he does.  And then.. when it was all over, and the reporter let him slide on all of this uncut bullshit, the reporter then went on to ask him about the really tough issues...baseball!?!?!? This is truly the most disgusting period in our history. Will it ever end?</description>

		<description>To think I believed until now Bush was guilt-free, unwilling to make any sacrifice at all. 

After this painful self-punishment, he can send more people to the Iraqi meat grinder with a clean conscience. 

Stay the course! (Specially true if you are &#039;staying the course&#039; in front of your TV set, at home)

This is a give the man a fish crowd. Don&#039;t bother with that crap about teaching the man to fish. Trust me on this one. These people can not fish!</description>

		<description>Actually driving a Super gas sucking Super Duty Pickup Truck during an occupation of a sovereign nation that did not attack us for control of their oil, and sending our kids to die for you and your sack of shit oil cronies, has a way of canceling out any good will you intend by not playing golf. Shove a 9 iron up your ass Mr. President, you stupid SOB.</description>

“People who know Bush well say the strain of war is palpable. He rarely jokes with staffers these days and occasionally startles them with sarcastic putdowns. He’s being hard on himself; he gave up sweets just before the war began.”

...Mansfield also reports: &quot;Aides found him face down on the floor in prayer in the Oval Office. &lt;strong&gt;It became known that he refused to eat sweets while American troops were in Iraq&lt;/strong&gt;, a partial fast seldom reported of an American president.

He has to go.&quot; The author concludes: &quot; . . . the Bush administration does deeply reflect its leader, and this means that policy, even in military matters, will be processed in terms of the personal, in terms of the moral, and in terms of a sense of divine purpose that propels the present to meet the challenges of its time.&quot;... &lt;/blockquote&gt;


Sweets? For the Troops? Those excerpts are from 2003. Bush didn&#039;t even keep that promise to the troops. If you google for images of &quot;bush mccain cake katrina&quot; you will find one of Bush licking his thumb over some some cake. Bush either had some cake or he sucks his thumb. Probably both.</description>
