Iraq and Clinton versus Terry Schiavo (Bush quote)

[Fire Walk With Me]

http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1545845,00.html

Regarding Cindy Sheehan:

He writes to each family and sometimes meets family members, but the president never attends funerals or greets coffins. His supporters say he was offended by what he regarded as Bill Clinton's occasionally gushing public performances, which Mr Bush felt turned private grief into political gain.

-----

Wasn't there a Republican memo encouraging the use of Terry Schiavo and her situation for political gain? Let's not even mention the official censoring of images of returning soldiers' bodies... Virtual reality... If you can't see the cost, there is no cost...

1. Bush & Co. rule #1: Be the *not* Bill Clinton

48 Laws of Power lasw #41:

"Law 41

Avoid Stepping into a Great Man’s Shoes

What happens first always appears better and more original than what comes after. If you succeed a great man or have a famous parent, you will have to accomplish double their achievements to outshine them. Do not get lost in their shadow, or stuck in a past not of your own making: Establish your own name and identity by changing course. Slay the overbearing father, disparage his legacy, and gain power by shining in your own way."

2. In place of trying to be "better" or more loved he's decided to become

more infamous.

3. "He writes to each family ..." ?????

I find this hard to believe!!!!
I just can't picture Incurious George*, brow furrowed, crayon clenched in fist, writing letters of condolence to "EACH FAMILY"!!!
That is over ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED PERSONAL LETTERS!!

Can anyone DOCUMENT this feat.
Has any Family received a personal Letter of Condolence from george bush* for a family member KIA???
