""President George W. Bush will attend its [the refurbished Intrepid Air & Space Museum] Veterans Day ceremonies on Tuesday, November 11, and be presented with the 2008 Intrepid Freedom Award....The award recognizes world leaders who embody the ideals of world freedom and democracy."

The award also thought it recognized its Uncle Morty, but was subsequently informed that it had been speaking to a hatstand for the past hour.

Best comment I've read in at least a week...

Yeah, "The award recognizes world leaders who embody the ideals of world freedom and democracy" and then gives it to someone completely different.

It really kills me that people don't recognize how flat-out awful the Bush Administration has been to veterans.

support our troops does not mean cut funding for medial and mental services after they come back all f-cked up from extended deployments in unpopular foreign wars.

If I was inclined to draw a political cartoon, it would be a sketch of the W at his desk, doodling little duckies. Behind him, you see Mr. Obama, surrounded by his staff, with his hand on the W's shoulder. And Mr. Obama is saying to the W, "Move over son, there's real work to be done."

If he "embodies the ideals of world freedom and democracy", I'd hate to see someone who doesn't.
