Interesting quote from georgie Dec. 2002 re: loved ones of fallen troops

[johnnie]

"There's only one person who hugs the mothers and the widows, the wives and the kids upon the death of their loved one. Others hug but having committed the troops, I've got an additional responsibility to hug and that's me and I know what it's like".
Washington, D.C.; Dec. 11, 2002


I find this timely, but I also find it to be completely unintelligible. But I'm sure you get my point.

1. what part of...

"i've got," "that's me," and "I know" iddn't you get?

seems perfectly coherent to me. sounds like, if you remove the extraneous verbiage, W was taking responsibility for something for the first time in his life.

not.

2. Isn't everything he says unintelligible?

Uncaring self serving and totally self absorbed! That's bush**

[Crankie Avalon]

3. He's a hug machine, a regular Leo Buscaglia...

...practicing his love with loved ones all across this country.

He should just get it over with and lock himself in a room for some marathon sessions of hugging himself.
