Dubya's Grand Sacrifice

Our ignoble leader has been making the ultimate sacrifice in honor of servicemen killed in Iraq. He has stopped playing golf.

Bush said in an interview out Tuesday that he quit playing golf in 2003 out of respect for the families of US soldiers killed in the conflict in Iraq, now in its sixth year. "I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal," he said in an interview for Yahoo! News and Politico magazine.

"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."

Uh, I can think of a better way to "show solidarity" with our soldiers.
