I praise God for appointing this man with the mind of an 11 yr-old boy the task of restoring honor and dignity to the White House!

Journalists were allowed to take pictures and watch for only a few minutes before being ushered out, though not before Bush told photographers to take pictures of Sgt. Mark Ecker's tattoo of a naked woman. Reporters were not allowed to interview patients in Abrams Hall, hospital officials said, citing logistics. The hospital instead made available two doctors, who spoke glowingly about the president's visit and had no information to provide about the facility's problems.

1. Sure they don't want the press to talk to the wounded or families it would ruin the photo op

[TwilightGardener]

2. I didn't see that in the article--was it in the transcript? And why

doesn't the press jump on it? Highly inappropriate, especially considering that the visit was supposed to be a formal apology.

5. It is in the article linked above, 10th paragraph...

Daily Kos pointed it out...haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere.

8. They're only supposed to be props- they can't be interviewed.

Wow- he sure does "support the troops".

[gratuitous]

10. Yep, gettin' to the heart of the problem

And like the arrested juvenile we know he is, the biggest item on his tour is a tattoo of a nekkid woman. You can see her boobies! {giggle}

Kick this scag to the curb and soon.
