Sacrifices for Our Country

President Bush recently revealed that he gave up playing golf in solidarity with the soldiers and families who are making sacrifices on behalf of our country. Clearly, this President will do whatever it takes to show support for those troops in harms way. Giving up golf is just one sacrifice he and other members of his administration have done to show support for our fighting men and women. In my investigations, I discovered other ways the President, his family, supporters and members of his administration are sacrificing.

Dick Cheney’s pacemaker, implanted to regulate his heartbeat, stops for two seconds every hour to honor our military.

Condoleezza Rice has refused to go to the orthodontist until we capture or kill Osama Bin Laden.

Douglas Feith will not clean his garage until Amin Chalabi becomes President of Iraq.

Barbara Bush, President Bush’s mother, has instructed her servants never to use her good china at her family’s retreat in Kennebunkport, Maine until the WMDs are found in Iraq.

William Kristol gave up his monthly pedicures to honor our troops.

Paul Wolfowitz hasn’t washed his comb since we invaded Iraq.

Barbara Bush, Jenna’s unmarried twin, has sworn off downing jello shots on weekdays.

Don Rumsfield has refused to fly in jets owned by the Saudi Royal family.

Peggy Noonan named her favorite guinea pig, Tommy Franks, after our swift and decisive victory in Iraq.

Ann Coulter has put her Haliburton stock in a blind trust until the Iraq War is over.

Dana Perino did not renew her membership in the Jessica Simpson Official Fan Club. Instead she bought donuts for the White House Press Corps.

John Boehner only goes to the Tanning Spa once a week and uses the free time to play cribbage with his office staff.

We are at war people! Over 4,000 soldiers have been killed, 30,00 have been wounded and 1.2 million Iraqis have died. The USA is spending 9 billion dollars a month “prosecuting“ the Iraqi War. We must make sacrifices and, most importantly, show our solidarity with our troops and their loved ones. I am very sure many of the injured soldiers languishing in Walter Reed Hospital appreciate the gestures offered by the neocons and their minions.
