Bush gives up golfing because of Iraq war.


Yeah right.. Is he giving up drinking too? I think not.

Thinkprogress:

In a new interview with the Politico, President Bush says that he has given up golf because of the Iraq war, to show “solidarity” with U.S. troops and their families. He added that “playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal”:

Q Mr. President, you haven’t been golfing in recent years. Is that related to Iraq?

THE PRESIDENT: Yes, it really is. I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the Commander-in-Chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be as — to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.

Evidently, Bush learned his lesson since this incident after 9/11. Watch it:

Interesting, Bush "sacrificed" LOL for the first time in his entire life...you know, his mother once said "mess with my family, you're dead"

Lucky for that ole biddy, Prissy doesn't play that way...
