another shameless photo op
just saw Bush being interviewed on CNN from a VA hospital where he was visiting wounded troops. Can anyone even find an instance of him visiting the troops at all?

Google came up with a lot of hits for "Bush visits troops".

2. There's footage of him doing another such visit in the past.
He showed some wounded vets his "battle scars" (I believe those were the exact words he used) that he'd gotten from clearing brush.

The footage showed the faces of some of the hospital staff and they were appalled to say the least.

Bush making a joke about his scratches from clearing brush to soldiers who have suffered horrible injuries because of Bush's arrogance is about as low as you can get.

The guy is criminally insane. He belongs locked up.

5. You know, I really believe that Bush needs to be removed from office!
How long will we put up with a man who is so obviously mad as president? It is really disheartening to see such a person in high office. It certainly reflects poorly on our nation to tolerate such a moron. At least a parliamentary system can call for a lack of confidence vote to oust such people! Must we sit idly by for 2 more years and hope he doesn't go absolutely berserk and oreder a nuclear strike against Iran or something before leaving office?

4. He has, but compare the number of his visits to Murtha's.
dimson does it when it's politically expedient for him to do so and only then (photo ops, as you pointed out).
Now funerals; AFAIK he hasn't been to one.
