Bush to attend funeral of 1000th KIA soldier.

[johncoby2]

So the headlines on CNN and every other ass kissing station will most probably say.

Who says Bush doesn't know an opportunity when he sees one?

[russian33]

1. Even he's not that stupid...why attract attention to it?

[cheezus]

2. no kidding, especially since he didn't go to any of the other ones

what, only every thousand solider counts?

[JuniorPlankton]

4. He IS that stupid

but his handlers wouldn't let him.

6. Rove trusts the media to spin it the right way.

And why not? They have rarely disappointed him in the past.

[Jacobin]

15. Prezactly

It'll be a warm and wonderful "sacrifice for our freedoms" day and soon every mother will want her son to come home in a plastic bag. (well not every mother who has a son in IraqNam, but every mother who could theoretically have one, but is rich, or their kids aren't there)

ITs one of those great theoretical patriotic sacrifices which people who don't have to live them (die them?) just gobble up.

It'll work like a charm with the media playing the patriotic violins and trumpets.

Disgusting this fascist shit.

3. Maybe he'll make it another fundraiser while telling the mourners

how great things are going over there.

[stray cat]

5. Bush told the terrorists to bring it on and they have.

7. The family will shit on his head if he dares.

[Fovea]

8. I thought it was going to be Cheney

who would tell them to stop whining or go Cheney themselves.
'Buck up, suckers, I am not rich enough yet.'
Something like that...

[NewJeffCT]

9. so, the first 999 were not worthy?

that was the thought that crossed my mind.

[leftistagitator]

10. What a lucky kid...

to have the president come to visit him personally. I bet his parents will be so happy.

[Dangerman]

11. Now Bush will finally attend a funeral

Too little, too late.

Bush is an asshole x1000!

[cthrumatrix]

17. I hope "his name" is attached to this war of choice....

the soldiers deserve better...but whatever honor they get is OK with me

[KamaAina]

12. Are a thousand balloons gonna come down?

Will his family win a $1000 shopping spree at the PX?

(you know, like when you're the millionth customer at a store or something :-) )

[Renew Deal]

13. He will not do that.

It would look very exploitative.

[Catfight]

14. Really? I might vote for him if he attends a funeral! I won't have to

worry, it'll never happen.

[pinniped]

16. I bet that asshole can't name a single soldier KIA.

18. What makes this one any different than all of the others?

It's just an election year photo op and should be blasted as such.
