In an blog post entitled, "And I Gave Up Coke During Apartheid!", Ana Marie Cox (the former Wonkette) takes George Bush on for divulging today that he gave up golf to show his solidarity with the troops:
Bush, to Politico:"I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal," he said in an interview for Yahoo! News and Politico magazine.Hey, you know what sends the "wrong signal"? Invading a sovereign country based on cooked intelligence! Also, telling terrorists to "bring it on." Oh, wait, wait, you want totally crossed wires? A banner reading "mission accomplished."
"I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf," he said. "I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them."
Maybe he should stick to golf and give up wars.
