*'s Christmas photo op...
After yesterday's attack on American soldiers, Bush* scurried for an opportunity to save face by calling on the president and CEO of the Fisher House, requiring the latter's immediate presence at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for a photo op.

The Fisher House has been described as "Ronald McDonald House for military families". They deserve our support.

When I heard this ... I wanted to throw up. Bush* is such a smug little opportunist. While I am happy to see this organization get the coverage it deserves, I am irritated by this obvious political stunt ... and the people who don't see it as such.

1. * attacked his soldiers? Where's the link?
That I must see.

So should the soldiers in Iraq. I mean, * wants to visit them all the time so I'm sure they would all love to know how * thinks of them now. Unlike how * treats the military leaders, who are the only fuckups around.

I support the troops. It's eminently clear that * does not.

2. Perhaps I should rephrase ...
I meant the Mosul attack. With 22 American soldiers dead, during the holidays no less, Bush quickly organized a trip to Walter Reed's FH - to make seem as if he actually cares.
