I think I've identified the elements of the chain reaction here.
-Bush tells a sh!tty joke
-Lefts notice how rude it was to all those who died in Iraq
-Rights' "Bush is a gift from God, who is Reagan, BTW" instinct kicks in. Some of them are able to control it and come up with reasonable excuses for the joke, but some of them just call the left whiners.
This follows the same pattern of most things that Bush does.
-Bush f&cks up
-Lefts notice how badly he f&cked up
-Rights' "Bush is a gift from God, who is Reagan, BTW" instinct kicks in. Some of them are able to control it and come up with a reasonable excuse, but some just call the lefts whiners.
All of this could be stopped if Bush could just stop f&cking up.

OK, then here's another question. Is there any mention, anywhere, to the war, much less the soldiers, much less the casualties in the joke? |
So the WMD issue somehoe ISN'T linked to the Iraq war in which our soldiers died? This is truly a bizarre bit of rationale.

 Yeah, a response of "I don't care" is really being "pwned". Your standards for argument might be even lower than his. 
And it looks like this IS becoming an issue in the news. The papers are running the story and it's looking to become yet another embarrassment for Bush. For supposedly such a disciplined campaigner, this gaffe seems inexcusable. Didn't anyone there think that this would become an issue, considering the staunch opposition many had to the war? You have to admit this was a bad move by the administration, opening up one of their most vulnerable routes of attack.

And that's the real problem. If a guy tells a lame joke then he shouldn't be a leader.
Now compare Bush's joke to Blair.
Blair is in parliament on a routine day and says in a authoritative voice something like:
"We have explained our position clearly."
Spectator heckles him
In split second, Blair responds with a self-depreciating smile "Apparently not well enough."
Now I'm no fan of Blair, but I had to give him the thumbs up on that one. Ya got like a guy who is fast on his feet and able to laugh at himself.

Well, since you said "please"...

I think it is an arrogant statement because Bush has never given us concrete proof that WMD existed in Iraq. He took for granted the British brief that stated WMD were in Iraq , which has since been discredited, along with vague CIA intelligence reports on Iraq, and ran with the Iraqi War before fully checking the situation out. Why? Because he had a personal agenda with Iraq that he needed to address. As someone pointed out earlier, Saddam tried to kill his father. And, no wartime president has ever failed to get reelected. The arrogant statement this morning says to the world, "I got away with my private war at your expense, and there is nothing you can do about it". |

Republicans think this joke is funny? It's the same as playing hide and seek with a little kid and going "Hmm, where's Johnny?" The little kid thinks this is hilarious, but this is the best that Bush can do?
