Has ANYbody in the MSM criticized Chimp's "ultimate sacrifice" remark?

[Sparkly]

Bluebear pointed it out yesterday, as an AP article mentioned it in passing. The Chimp called political work the "ultimate sacrifice." I got the full quote:

THE PRESIDENT: Thanks for coming. Welcome to the White House. Hope you're feeling pretty excited about what's about to take place. We are excited for you -- after all, we ran together. (Laughter.) And there's nothing like winning. (Laughter.)

I want to welcome you all here; Laura and I are so thrilled you're here. We want to welcome your spouses. I particularly want to say a thanks to your spouse for having supported your run for the Congress or the Senate. Laura and I know how hard it is on a family to be in the political arena. It's the ultimate sacrifice, really: sacrifice your privacy; it's a sacrifice of time with your kids. But you're going to find it's worthwhile -- serving this great country is an unbelievable honor, and both the elected official and the spouse are serving our great country.

If a Democrat had said that, they'd be pilloried! The words "ultimate sacrifice" mean something, and it's not a reference to politics. What an IDIOT. Why aren't Wolfie et al on this? Maybe I'll send it to Keith.

The US StenoMedia have published bush's incredibly ignorant remark, but no one has bothered actually pointing out how ignorant a remark it is.

But hey, it's HARD WERK and bush SUFFERS so, his is the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE dontcha know.

3. Do send it to Keith! I'll be busy.......

Give Me a Break!

4. Send it to the VFW.

They might write it off as a slip, but I think that Bush really does think that a salary cut and two years at a hard job in DC, when undertaken by the republican elite, counts as much as death to all those military. It is the rationalization of the ANG and stop loss and going to war and everything.
