Legless soldier jogs with prez responsible for robbing him of his legs
Almost puked when I saw it on CBS nightly news. A solider who had his legs blown off in Iraq out taking a jog with the Boy King who is RESPONSIBLE for him having to hobble around on metal legs for the rest of his life.

The SF Gate quotes Bush telling the guy: "I looked at him, like, you know, there's an optimistic person," Bush said. "It's an amazing sight for me to be running with a guy who, last time I saw him, was in bed wondering whether or not — I was wondering whether or not he'd ever get out of bed.

He thinks it's cool to jog with the guy whose legs he's responsible for blowing off.

Hot spots in hell are made for souless creatures such as this.

2. What about the guy that lost his legs?
What's he thinking?

3. Maybe he's thinking
it was all for a noble cause. Maybe it's the only thing that is helping him to face the future. If he needs that to get him through the hell he's endured and what he has to live with, more power to him.

Personally, I'd be justifiably wallowing in total anger at the entire administration and everyone who ever supported them or their diabolical ideas. Maybe that hate would be my reason to forge on. But, I say, the guy has paid a very dear price and I don't begrudge him anything that moves his life forward.
