Remember when * joked about WMD?
If the right wants to get angry about a joke that insults the troops, why doesn't that bother them? The man sends our young people to die in a quest for WMD, and then at a DC dinner PRETENDS to look for them under tables, etc. Insulting didn't begin to describe it. But you didn't hear a word, did you?

By the way, THIS is the example the Dems should be throwing out whenever they are challenged on this.

1. One of the most despicable things Bush has ever done.
"Ha ha ha, Americans died because of it...so, let's do a comedy routine about it".

A disgusting, shameful moment.

3. Just a few weeks ago he called all the KIA's commas
Where's the outrage for that one?

These Support the Troops Repugs are completely full of crap.

The only one who should be handing out apologies is Bush & his chickenhawk civilians, who love to send other people son's to war to protect BushCo Oil.

7. Bush's Iraq WMDs joke backfires
US President George W Bush has sparked a political row by making a joke about the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
At a black-tie dinner for journalists, Mr Bush narrated a slide show poking fun at himself and other members of his administration.

One pictured Mr Bush looking under a piece of furniture in the Oval Office, at which the president remarked: "Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be here somewhere."

After another one, showing him scouring the corner of a room, Mr Bush said: "No, no weapons over there," he said.

And as a third picture, this time showing him leaning over, appeared on the screen the president was heard to say: "Maybe under here?"

"If George Bush thinks his deceptive rationale for going to war is a laughing matter, then he's even more out of touch than we thought." - John Kerry

9. Notice that the Dems did NOT demand an apology from *
when he did this. Well, now's the time to make something out of it, don't you think?

13. I just sent the video to Olbermann. He's doing a commentary tonight that
is partially a response to Kerry's botched joke. Perhaps this clip can be shown as well, after all this joke really was an insult to our troops. They died for his botched war, and he jokes about it.
Jr. is a cockroach.

14. * has to be one of the sickest puppies ever.
When he was doing that bit of "comedy," the bastard KNEW the entire time that there were NO WMD ~~ and people were dying because of his lies. If this is material to make jokes on, all I can say is: Hitler is a saint compared to that bastard Bush.

21. Bush's joking about WMDs was
a very cruel way of putting down all Americans for believing in his lies. He knew there were no WMD and he really enjoys pointing out that he fooled all Americans into listening to and believing his lies.

He is a very very sick person!
