Olbermann really lets it fly... He's clearly as pissed as I am...

i'm sitting here in kabul, afghanistan, watching these youtube clips of the latest keith olbermann special comment as we are under a lockdown due to multiple threats of suicide bombing, and i'm thinking, fercripesake, how the hell did we let the united states come to such a pass...? how did we manage to re-elect the unbelievable fool that claims to be our president...?

Here's a story that would gag a maggot

oh, puh-l-e-e-e-e-eze...
President George W. Bush said on Tuesday he quit playing golf in 2003 out of respect for the families of Americans killed in the war in Iraq.

"I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the Commander-in-Chief playing golf," Bush said in an interview with Yahoo and Politico.com.

"I feel I owe it to the families to be as -- to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal," he said.

Bush said his last round of golf was in August 2003 when he was informed that a truck bomb had wrecked the U.N. headquarters in Baghdad, killing 22 people, including U.N. envoy Sergio Vieira de Mello.

"They pulled me off the golf course and I said, it's just not worth it anymore to do," Bush said.

if that's the truth - and i have my doubts - a bigger person would never have told anyone... what are we supposed to do...? give george a medal or a chest to pin it on...?
