What a joyous occasion it must be to know that the plan had worked

This morning Bush attended a ground-breaking for the new Walter Reed medical center, which will feature state-of-the-art reminding: “And those who wear our nation’s uniform will be reminded that they have the enduring gratitude of the American people.”


He talked about a sergeant who received a brain injury from an IED in Iraq. Bush saw him a year ago and “I was one who felt like this guy had no chance.” But “I welcomed he and his mom and dad to the Oval Office the other day. He was more eloquent than I was, which isn’t all that hard.” Oy.

WHAT GEORGE PRAYS: “I pray that this will be the site of many miracles of healing -- where the lame will walk again”.

Speaking of which, John McCain sought miracles of healing for his lame presidential campaign from the Virgin Mary at the Basilica de Guadalupe in Mexico City today.



Bush spoke about his phone call yesterday to Colombian President Uribe to congratulate him for snookering FARC out of its hostages: “And I told him what a joyous occasion it must be to know that the plan had worked”. Sadly, the joy of knowing that a plan had worked is something George has never experienced and will never experience.
