Laura and I know how hard it is on a family to be in the political arena. It's the ultimate sacrifice, really: sacrifice your privacy; it's a sacrifice of time with your kids. But you're going to find it's worthwhile -- serving this great country is an unbelievable honor, and both the elected official and the spouse are serving our great country.

This filth has NO concept of sacrifice whatsoever.

1. Agreed. Ask the families of the 1300+ servicepeople who've died...

...in BushCo's fiasco in Iraq whether sacrificing a little privacy is "the ultimate sacrifice," and I'm pretty sure they may disagree slightly.

Sacrificing privacy is temporary; death is permanent. But what should you expect from some half-witted fuck whose greatest claim to bravery was keeping the bars in Alabama safe from the Viet Cong?

3. I was going to say that he is pretty free and easy when it comes

to sacrificing the lives of others. You said it much better.

2. Pardon my ignorance...

But isn't that term reserved for people who have given their lives/fallen in "just" wars? Is that not just a tad disrespectful on so many levels, toward so many, many people?

This pathetic excuse for a man is the Energizer Bunny of bullshit. And nobody's prepared to remove his batteries (at least not in the US).

4. And it's HARD work!

It's HARD, very HARD work, being Pretzeldent!

5. god i hate that phrase...

I hope "hard work" is someday eradicated from the vernacular.

6. i thought jesus made the ultimate sacrifice?

i thought bush was religious man, seems almost blasphemous for a mere man to to speak of the "ultimate sacrifice"

:eyes:

7. Holy Shit! The Dictator Reaches a NEW all-time low

Only somebody who dodged service would dare co-opt the term, "ultimate sacrifice" to illustrate his ruining of this country.

The ultimate sacrifice is RESERVED for our brave men and women who fight the stinking wars.

[Stinky The Clown]

8. This is a whole new paradigm of self-centeredness

I am incensed at this statement. Who the fuck does this sociopath think he is? *He's* making the ultimate fucking sacrifice?????? What a sorry sack of dog shit this sorry excuse for a man is.

The Ultimate Sacrifice???????????????

FUCK YOU GEORGE BUSH

What a disgusting man.

9. I *hope* he meant

specifically that it's the ultimate sacrifice he's ever had to make. Because that's almost certainly the truth.

But I doubt that's what he meant.

10. Oh you poor piece of shit

only thinking about themselves - :grr:

11. A Request

Please write to your local print-rags about this, while it's still up. After all the crap that has been plastered on DU by the media recently, it would be nice to see the White House's own web site used to point out that, in truth, Li'l Dubbie doesn't give one tinker's damn about the troops fighting and dying in Iraq or Afghanistan.

I can't believe Jon Stewart passed this one up, focusing instead on Li'l Dubbie's "family in politics" babblings.

These are Li'l Dubbie's own words, on what amounts to his own webpage. There is nothing taken out of context; there is no misquote. It can't be explained away as "misspeaking" or a result of "media bias."

In fact, feel free to point out the numerous examples from Dick and Rummy and others that emphasize the utter contempt these scumbags have for our military--active duty and veterans alike.

12. "Ultimate sacrifice"??!!

I guess my father, who was wounded in Korea and watched his best friend die beside him, was wrong telling me those who fight and die for this country are the ones who make the ultimate sacrifice. Clearly politicians give up far more.

:puke:
