Bush, Thy Name Is Idiot

George W. Bush, during a video conference with military briefers in Afghanistan:

I must say, I'm a little envious. If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed. It must be exciting for you...in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger.

Excuses, excuses. Age and employment have not kept many other Americans out of Afghanistan and Iraq.

And yes, Georgie, it really would be fantastic if you were serving on the front lines. Prince Harry did it, why not you?
