President Plays Virtual Solider
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/058364.php

So the President was down in San Antonio today, visiting the rehab center at Brooke Army Medical Center, where lots of wounded Iraq War vets go for further treatment.

As is usually the case in these kinds of visits, the President took a tour, shook some hands, and gave a speech. But we got a hold of a copy of the pool report of the visit, and the President apparently also got a chance to play a little virtual soldier on his tour:

Bush saw a number of cutting edge virtual reality games that allowed recovering soldier to simulate riding a car or boat. One game simulated shooting in a Baghdad neighborhood, a game she said POTUS participated in with two other soldiers there and helped shoot the bad guys, at least virtually.

(end snip)

A little over a year left of more fake shit. But I'm looking forward like all the Dem leaders say I should. Can't bother my pretty little mind. Can't look back. Gotta focus on our one success in getting minimum wage raised over the next ten years maybe. We did that. Gotta focus on that, look forward, minimum wage...Outta sight/outta mind.

1. I wish he'd play REAL soldier
In Iraq.

Outside the Green Zone.

AFTER being told there's a shortage of flak jackets, but here's a piss pot to protect your head, sir.

He's a stain on the honor of every man and woman who ever served this country.
