Good news for GWB!  Now that he’s probably off his golf game considerably and hasn’t been to the country club lately he needs a new club in a sport he hasn’t forsworn - motorcycling!  GWB gets his honorary membership into Rolling Thunder!

Check it.

“Eighteen minutes later, Bush arrived by chopper from Camp David, disembarking from Marine One to “modest clapping” (as Eggen put it) from the Rolling Thunder gang. The president called the event a “magnificent sight,” telling Muller that as he flew over the city he “saw your brothers and sisters cranking up their machines and driving through the nation’s capital –- many of them have got the flag on the back.” He praised the group as “so patriotic … loving your country as much as you do.” ”

I think we’re learning more and more about levels of patriotism. I now know that biker jackets, loud bikes and sleeveless shirts kick the shit out of lapel pins which kicks the shit out of running for president, voting or paying taxes.  

Go GWB!

On May 1, 2003, George Bush landed on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and gave a speech saying that major combat operations had ended in Iraq.

Five years later, the war still going on and the White House finally recognizes its mistake. Sort of.

“President Bush is well aware that the banner should have been much more specific and said `mission accomplished’ for these sailors who are on this ship on their mission,” White House press secretary Dana Perino said Wednesday. “And we have certainly paid a price for not being more specific on that banner. And I recognize that the media is going to play this up again tomorrow, as they do every single year.”

Our president shows real leadership by not playing golf in order to support the troops. Way to go George!

UPDATE: Turns out Bush lied! Keith Olbermann busts him.
