I can't remember the last time I read something that made my eyes pop and my jaw drop like THAT.

For all of the flaws of our Democratic party, I am so reminded that we are stitched together by a common respect for hard-working Americans, many of whom live under difficult circumstances the likes of which many Republicans can't even fathom.

In fact, it is precisely in this inability to wrap their heads around what it is to be American for so many people that has brought them to the current state they are in.  Petulant, spoiled children of privelige parading as government officials.

I know we aren't perfect.  I'm saddened by what the party has done to Hillary Clinton, moderate voters, African-Americans, women...and I'm saddened that we seem poised to pitch another election...

But dude, at least we fucking aren't THAT.

Has Bush just captured his entire Presidency in a phrase?

For those inclined to smite Bush rhetorically--and they are legion--the President has made himself round and placed himself upon a tee, where he waits 3/4" above the ground while a nation of verbal Callaway Big Berthas simultaeously cocks at the top of their backswing.  

This should be interesting.

Learn from this, and never let this happen again.

What a worthless sacrifice - couldn't you find some meaningful sacrifice that might make one iota of difference in the lives of our troops.  Like, gee, some sensible executive measures regarding veterans benefits, troop rotations, etc..

What a bumper sticker your sacrifice makes -  "Support our Troops, Give up Golf".

For all the good this does, why not just acknowledge the sacrifice of our soldiers by switching Barney's dog food?

Didn't he also give up candy (or something equally as baffling)?  What a guy.  I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

As awful as this quote is, it just makes me that much happier that this idiot's presidency is almost over.  It doesn't get much more out of touch.

That's the only thing I feel when I look at or hear George W. Bush. The man is evil to the core!!!

The funny thing is, my bet is Jonah Goldberg, Malkin, Instapunchline and others see this and tear up. I mean, say what you want about Bush being clueless, out-of-touch, moronic, petulant, spoiled, ridiculous and evil... but at least he's sacrificing GOLF. What have those guys given up?

I imagine Malkin will announce she, too, is giving up something important. Maybe darts? Pantload will follow suit and forgo his annual cribbage tourney. My guess is Glenn Beck tries to stop picking his nose and eating it (Pica, I believe it's called), but some sacrifices go too far.

And really, what he's saying is that he doesn't want the bad photo op.  

Ugh.  

I wonder if he and Piss Face McCancient will give up birthday cake when natural disasters hit our country...Oh, that's probably asking a bit much.

It brings a tear to my eye... this Bozo's gonna give up golf, because what?  It gives the wrong impression?  Politics for the sake of politics is bad... pandering is bad... we all see and recognize it -- I hope -- but this is ridiculous (worthy of ridicule).

Y'all have to draw your own conclusions and make your own comparisons.

I see he hasn't given up goofing around at the Correspondents' Dinner or having fancy-dress parties.

There are no words harsh enough for this miserable, small-minded, small-brained, heartless excuse for a human being.

Bush is surely playing to his base. In fact, in Country Club 19th Holes all over America, glasses have been raised in tribute to our Prez. Some even promised to not take mulligans until the war is over to do their part.

The good news: another pound on McCain's back. Before long he is going to have to publicly repudiate and renounce to avoid losing by historic margins.

It's funny.  He has given up golf, but has never asked the American people to give up anything in this "war on terror".

He squandered a real opportunity to make change after 9/11.  Instead we got tax cuts for the rich and torture.

History will not be kind.

Golf emboldens the enemy, but you didn't hear that from me.

Weird.

End the golf, but not the war.
