Breaking! Bush's speechwriters are scripting his press conference answers!
In fact, there isn't anything in Bush's statement to indicate whether or not he is aware whether or not Mandela is living or dead. It was an incredibly stupid attempt at a metaphor either way.

Since when is criticizing one person for lying offending all the military?
Criticizing him doesnt bother me at all.
It was the part where they called him "General BETRAY-US" that was out of line and wrong.
That is the part that should be condemned by the dems,IMHO.
Yes, Bush did make a stupid attempt at a metaphor, I wont argue that.
But, thats all it was, a metaphor.
He wasnt saying that Mandella himself was dead.
As far as zippo goes,all I have to say is this...
Shouldn't the cosmic stupidity hopper be empty by now?
