I sacrifice...I watch TV!
I'm doing my part.
My "peace of mind" is my sacrifice!

:sarcasm:


Public contributions?

MR. LEHRER: Let me ask you a bottom-line question, Mr. President. If it is as important as you've just said - and you've said it many times - as all of this is, particularly the struggle in Iraq, if it's that important to all of us and to the future of our country, if not the world, why have you not, as president of the United States, asked more Americans and more American interests to sacrifice something? The people who are now sacrificing are, you know, the volunteer military - the Army and the U.S. Marines and their families. They're the only people who are actually sacrificing anything at this point.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Well, you know, I think a lot of people are in this fight. I mean, they sacrifice peace of mind when they see the terrible images of violence on TV every night.

3. Sure hope he keeps going on the air, don't you?
He might just as well say, "Hi, I'm your Preznit, and I'm a sociopathic fuckwit!"

Cuz that's the impression he gives to sane people.

And he seemingly has no idea . . .
