Bush gives up golf in 2003--- Jokes about missing WMD's in 2004.

The biggest schmuck in the history of mankind.

Friday, 26 March, 2004,
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?"

"I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf," he said. "I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal."


Bush said he made that decision after the August 2003 bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad, which killed Sergio Vieira de Mello, the top U.N. official in Iraq and the organization's high commissioner for human rights.

"I remember when de Mello, who was at the U.N., got killed in Baghdad as a result of these murderers taking this good man's life," he said. "I was playing golf -- I think I was in central Texas -- and they pulled me off the golf course and I said, 'It's just not worth it anymore to do.'"

2. So thoughtful of him. What's next? Giving up playing Chess for the Iran casualties?

or is it your quitting smoking Cuban cigars for the dead soldiers in Afghanistan?

How much can one man give up?

Oh, I have an idea George, to show everyone how brave you are!!!

How about you and your cabinet go bungee jumping off of the Brooklyn Bridge without a bungee cord?

3. 'It's just not worth it anymore to do.'--Should have figured that out about Iraq. nt

4. If Bush ever gave eulogies at the funerals of dead soldiers

(if he ever even attended one), I could just see the Chimp consoling the grieving family by telling them he gave up golf to support the troops.

5. I seem to recall him playing golf

in Kennebunkport since then.

6. that's not why he gave up on golf

golf, to him, represents everything in his life that he sucked at.

He loses interest real fast when he can't steal it or bully someone into giving it to him.
