BS: The ultimate sacrifice

Yes I know its like making fun of the handicapped but I feel compelled to repeat what W said yesterday.

In a self congratulatry speech yesterday George was speaking of his running mate Dick and himself regarding the 04 campaign and said, "There is nothin like winnin but he has made the ultimate sacrifice in this campaign the same as me, you know by losing privacy and all."

There we have it. The "Ultimate sacrifice" is now akin to having no door on the bathroom stall.

I always thought the ultimate sacrifice was dying for your country like a teenage trooper blown to pieces in Iraq. I suppose we could stretch the metaphor to include the death of Paul Wellstone and his family while in the service of his country and state. One could even stretch it thin by claiming the ultimate sacrifice of one's career like Dan Rather for having the timarity to broach the subject of Bush's desertion of the National Guard being fixed by his dad.

But Bush Jr's idea of the ultimate sacrifice is in fact being held up to any scrutiny whatsoever. That reminds me that the Republican Congress voted yesterday that new rules for ethical violations now must include the provision that members of one's own party must support an investigation of ethical violations, or all charges/scrutiny are dropped.
That little gem is called the "presumption of innocence rule".

As a segway to today's harsh editorial picture...
The only people that should be considered innocent are children.

The ultimate sacrifice is giving up one's daily posting on Mudcat.

George Bush has no idea what REAL pain is all about.

The handsome, athletic young stud was walking down the street when he was suddenly, and violently overcome by an acute pain which started at the nape of the neck and spread rapidly to affect the whole of his head cumulating in a pulsating, blinding pain above the eyes. He managed to get to the doctor who sent him to hospital for an immediate operation. The consultant explained that the cause of the pain was an acute malfunction in a testicle and that the only cure was remove of the affected part. Reluctantly the young man agreed and submitted himself to the knife. When he awoke, despite feeling a little sore hr had no pain in the head. With jaunty step he set off down the street. He had not gone more than 100 metres when the overwhelming and debilitating pain in the head returned. He was once again rushed to hospital. "Oh dear," said the consultant, "I feared that might happen, the original operation only had a 50/50 chance of success. The only certain cure is removal of the other testicle." With great reluctance the young man agreed.
When he left hospital for the second time he felt fine.
He felt that a celebration was in order, but how could a man in his somewhat reduced condition celebrate? He decided to get a new suit so he popped into his tailor's. During the course of having the inside leg measured the tailor asked "Which side do you dress sir?"
"Dress, what do you mean dress?"
"Yes dress sir"
"What do you mean; I do not wear a dress!"
"Dress sir, you know which side do your er..hem.. you know sir your balls hang?" whispered a rather embarrassed tailor.
"Why, does it matter?" enquired the young man.
"Oh yes sir, if your trousers are cut wrongly you get this sudden violent pain that starts at the back of your head and moves rapidly...."

The ultimate sacrifice took place on a cross. You'd think Georgey Porgey would remember that one..

I did too but as for George, lets just say he has a special interest in capital punishment. As govenor he used to get the grins every time there was an execution.

There have been a number of ultimate sacrifices, actually...

Jesus on the cross. Joan of Arc. Gandhi. Martin Luther King. Crazy Horse.

Bush does not qualify on that list at this time.

This just shows how casually the man and his scriptwriters regard the awful events unfolding around the Indian Ocean.

No doubt it was written as a kind of joke - but can you imagine a joke like that a few days after September 11, which was, after all, far smaller scale?

I have an ear for the times when W goes of script and begins winging it. He was searching for words when "ultimate sacrifice" hit his tongue and he just blurted it out. I believe this bushism came from the bottom of his shrunken little heart and not a speech writer.

Lincoln made the ultimate sacrifice. Bush made a frabjuous ass of himself and not for the first time.

George Bush's wife made the ultimate sacrifice too, I think. After all, she did marry him.

If giving up one's privacy is the ultimate sacrifice, then, thanks to the Patriot Act, we've all made it.

the missing initial post here regarding Bush saying at a fundraiser that both he and Dick Cheney have suffered the ultimate sacrifice in the loss of privacy during the campaign.


Here is the coming ultimate sacrifice...

To use that phrase, which has been used so many times in the context of an individual soldier dying in action, to reflect on his discomfort at being elected, is so degrading and dishonorable as to be revolting.
