I have to say, I thought April Fool's day was a few weeks ago
oh wait
every day is april fool's day when Bush is president.

What a f*&king joke. If this asshole had stayed on the golf
course, instead of the in White House, we would all be better off today. If that's the biggest sacrifice he's made, it would be laughable if it wasn't so sick. He has to be one
sick puppy!

How about he quits breathing instead.

We can always pray for an accident with his chainsaw while the "Decider" is cutting brush on his Crawford Texas "ranch". Chopping off an arm and leg would be fitting, so many young men and women are returning from Iraq missing theirs.

I can think of a logical reason why Bush 'gave up' golf.

Golf greens are nice, wide open spaces with great sight lines, and lots of trees and ground cover on the sides.

Perfect for snipers.

Think about it.

Here's a related article by Mr. Burns of The Simpsons:

Gee, what a major sacrifice!!! I think Bush should be given a medal for this much pain and stress!

Galen;
I do believe that you've hit on the real reason for the busher to give up a game he wasn't very good at. Hopefully for georgie there'll be some nice golfing opportunities in hell.

I can think of a reason why Bush's handlers have suggested he give up something to show his concern.

The reason being how bad it looked that the commander in chief was tap dancing while men were dying in Iraq a few weeks ago.

Bush is serious ...five years of tap dancing later... he'll be giving up golf. How heroic. How about giving up some of those tax cuts and taking care of the wounded veterans better instead?

Once again, this pernicious usurper and chief isn't telling the 'Merican people I mean sheeple the facts. He was golfing in and around the time of Hurricane Katrina, and we all know what happened then. This man is a disgrace to the country and to our world.

Bush simply doesn't give a rat's arse, neither does Mike Allen who interviewed him. Allen is nothing more than corporate toady. He and his ilk are the purveyors of the mendacity we've all been spoon fed and which has kept this false reality (Bush world) in tact and has corrupted and impoverished our once great country.

The morass is far too deep, we've already crossed the Rubicon.

bush might have given up golf but he's spending millions of U.S. taxpayer's money to build a golf course in the green zone.
I suppose that he considers that a form of payment for ruining Iraq, killing tens of thousands of it's citizens, stealing it's resources, and terrorising a couple of billion people on the planet.

Besides he probably lied about his golf score anyway.

Galen and skippyagogo41; Speaking of snipers, I wonder if junior also 'gave up' hunting with dickey-boy?

Maybe he'll give up the game of playing president since he's such a loser at it.

When he's done "playing" President, he will be paid millions of dollars by the Carlyle Group to play golf with weapons dealers and oil executives.

At best this is a faux-show of concern... if he was truly concerned for the well-being of humanity and more specifically the Iraqi's and our soldiers... he would order our troops home or too Afghanistan. (seeing that Afghanistan was the one who actually attacked America, not Iraq, it would only seem logical to reengage the actual enemy.)

"and they pulled me off the golf course and I said, it's just not worth it anymore to do"

They had to 'pull' this prick off the golf course and tell him why its wrong ! Clearly it wasn't his own decision, which is consistent with the fact that he lacks a conscience.

The Decider is all full of sacrifices, baby. Remember just before launching his illegal invasion of Iraq?

USA Today: "...he gave up sweets just before the war began."

Side note - because sometimes we forget just how damn crazy President Decider and Sacrificer is:

"Bush believes he was called by God to lead the nation at this time, says Commerce Secretary Don Evans..." That would be the God of lies, death and profiteering, the very same one blessing America, yes?

No sweets, no golf - now that's how we show the soldiers the love, ain't it?

Maybe they got tired of watching his sorry a** constantly slice or hook his shots into the trees and water. Maybe his entourage got tired of running for cover because this a**hole has a terrible swing. Either way, this guy is a f***ing twit.

You are right on riddimboy . . .
His handlers had to take his hand and explain what was happening. I am sure he did not have any idea. As for snipers . . . Well why waste a good bullet on someone that wouldn't even know why he was shot!

What CRAP! He gave up golf because-
1. With an ego like his, golf comes up the master.
2. There are strict rules in golf and he can't live by the
Rules!
3. With his language and temperment, who would want to play with him.
4. Youre only allowed 14 clubs on a round, when he gets to the 15th or sixteenth hole, he has nothing to play with!!!

How much longer do we have to listen to this kind of crap

George Wanker Bush should play one more round of golf - just one. He drives off the first tee deep into a water hazard, goes to retrieve his ball and fucking drowns. Then I take all my friends out for unlimited drinks and celebrate the death of one of the greatest pieces of human trash who ever drew a breath.

This is a situation RED on the bullshit alert

"out of respect for the families of US soldiers killed in the conflict in Iraq," ?

While dead US soldiers were being cremated at Pet Cremation Facility? Was that out of respect too? Jes...

I'd say what Dubya could do with his old golf balls, but I'd probally get a visit from Homeland Security...who the hell came up with that soviet sounding terminology anyway?!

while bush gave up golf....soldiers,marines,airmen,and sailors... GAVE UP THEIR LIVES....this is just more nonsense coming from bush....IN AN EFFORT TO DISTRACT US...we are smarted than that......

jposty,
Afgahnistan NEVER attacked the US. Understood?

He stopped playing with his balls and started deleting Whitehouse e-mails along with a million Iraqis...this isn't a sacrifice, it's a Burnt Offering!

Isn't this fun? Bash bash bash. Like a big stupid president fish in a barrel!

If Bush is sincere about it, he should send his daughters to Iraq. Stop golfing - give me a break!!!!!!

ladybug,

Thanks for diverting this discussion about a silly president into teaching fellow bloggers some serious history lessons. So I was not the only one to notice this mistake by jposty.

Well, he still gets to ride his little bike, doesn't he?

whoah what?

Afghanistan's state sponsored (i'm using the term state extremely loosely) terrorists did in fact attack us.

I understand most were Saudi's... but they were trained and funded by the Taliban and Al Queda.

Presumably another point of contention between him and his dad.

Remember his famous line: "Watch this drive!"?

With war raging all he could think about was his golf swing. (The same callousness/insensitivity he displayed during Katrina.)

No, this period in history will not go down as "Camelot" or "Morning in America."

Bush played golf while America went off course, so it's only fitting that the Bush Presidency be named SHANKRI-LA:

Hey Jposty, get your facts straight. Afghanistan never attacked America, its the other way around. So who is the enemy? The Taliban, put into power by the US? Al Qaida, created by the CIA? Are we seeing a pattern yet? How come they still havent found ole Osama.... I thought they knew exactly where he was 7 years ago? THEY wouldn't lie to us..... Would they? So many questions, so little time....

As a real sign of respect for the dead, dying, and maimed in the Iraq War all US Government employees should immediately sell all of their oil-related stocks. And while we're were at it, DOD-related stocks or any fund that gives the unseemly appearance of war-profiteering.

Words fail me.

it's relatively easy to lie about everything EXCEPT golf --
where one's screwups are imminently plain and apparent --

so....the logical choice is to quit golf

Why do I keep seeing images of Mussolini's dead, beaten body hanging upside down from a meat hook whenever I see a picture of Bush?

Hey, bush:

It's the Persian Gulf--not the Persian Golf. Get it? "Gulf", not "Golf"!

Oh, I forgot. You don't read.

"How much longer do we have to listen to this kind of crap"?

I'd guess approximately 8 months, 5 days, 23 hours, and 17 minutes.

Did he give up tennis, too? Sorry (am not) to go slightly off-topic here.

Has there ever been a president who cared less about the truth, never vetoing anything when he had a Republican majority in congress and then vetoing everything once he didn't, more purely political therefore, and more doctrinaire, bellicose, knee-jerk by nature, more mindlessly pro-business, more mindlessly anti-government, more unable to realize the deep similarity between these two forms of organization, which are, after all, equally stupid, with the same ultimate potential for good.

If this is not indicative of the ne'er-do-well hubris that infects every sleazy pore of his being, then I don't know what is. NOFX (the band) nailed when they wrote "Idiot Son of an Asshole." Another apt comparison would to Marie Antoinette's infamous, "Let Them Eat Cake."

As a bicycling enthusiast, I think the best sacrifice/contribution this moron could make is to go on a bike ride on his ranch where his front wheel could hit the hole of some patriotic prairie dog, and he gets flipped over the handlebars and lands on the softest part of his body, i.e., his head (his big head, not his little head, although I've heard rumors that that is also always very soft). He could then become totally paralyzed and learn the real meaning of sacrificing himself for the good of mankind.

Perhaps gwb gave up reading (I understand the inherent fallacy in what is my assumption) on 11 September 2001: Can't read about pet goats--PDBs already unworthy of his attention by August 2001--while the rest of the country is living in fear--real or manufactured.

More BUSH MANURE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IMPEACH both BUSH and CHENEY..............IMMEDIATELY

BRING OUR TROOPS HOME..........ASAP

jposty;
The afghan gov't of the Taliban couldn't and didn't provide the funds for Al-Queda to exist; that money came from Saudi Arabia. That theocratic bunch of tossers were far more concerned with fighting the other group of terrorists in Afghanstan; the Northern Alliance.
The Taliban did nothing to stop Bin Ladin, then again the Canadian Gov't did nothing to stop a group of Sikh Terrorists blowing up an Air India flight over the Atlantic Ocean. Should India have declared war on Canada and invaded North America in an attempt to prosecute those who were responsible for that act of terrorism? If India should not have done that, why do you think it was peachy keen for the USA to do to Afghanistan what another country didn't do to Canada? Might makes right?

Unfortunately, he redirected his botchy golf techiques: hooking many with lies, slicing checks and balances, and driving the country into an oily sand trap.

Would that he'd given up
"HIS WAR" and taken more golf lessons.

Do his spin folks really think they're
going to soften the image of this bloody
liar?

He'll probably pick up the clubs again after he has escaped, I mean RETIRED to Paraquay, South America.
