Bush scared of triple amputee

[avram]

George W Bush demonstrated today that he’s not enough of a man to look former US Senator Max Cleland in the eye.

Cleland, who lost both legs and an arm in Vietnam, lost his Senate seat in 2002 after being smeared by an opponent who accused him of being unpatriotic and questioning his courage. Today he tried to visit Bush at his ranch in Crawford, Texas to personally deliver a letter from nine Senators asking Bush to condemn the false attacks on John Kerry by the “Swift Boat Vets”.

The Bush campaign, hearing ahead of time about the visit, had a roadblock set up.

Heard about this. You're assuming, of course, that Bushie Boy cares one whit about actual honor and courage, as opposed to being able to assert that it exists and have people believe it because he occupies the White House.

Me, I'm amused that after all that Bloomie did to win the Republicans, first they wanted to bring in a cruise ship so they didn't have to set foot on the streets, and now that Little George isn't even taking a room for the night he's nominated. Gee, ain't that a kick in the pants from the party that swore to be loyal to you when you slandered your way into Mark Green's seat, Mr. Mayor?
