Boy Scouts and Soldiers

Dear Leader was supposed to speak at the Boy Scout Jamboree today, so you will have to understand that when I first saw this headline: Scores of Boy Scouts Fall Ill From Heat, I wondered if it wasn't Bush's speech that made them sick. Turns out they got sick waiting in the heat for Dear Leader.

And then I read the story.

So let me get this straight...Dear Leader will attend a memorial service for four Boy Scout leaders who died in a tragic accident, but has yet to attend a single funeral for one soldier he has sent to die in an illegal, immoral war.

I wonder if he plans on dressing up like a Boy Scout. Do you think he will insist on a whistle on a lanyard, complete with the Presidential Seal?
