Oh, yeah

Yellow Dog Blog reminds us that there was a time, really not all that long ago, when Bush didn't hesitate to come back from vacation...

Remember?

"Look, this is a symbolic move, for sure," said Richard Cizik, the vice president for government affairs for the National Association of Evangelicals, on Bush's disrupting his vacation to intervene in the Schiavo affair. "It's his willingness to interrupt his vacation to make a statement. And not just to make a statement, because we're not playing games here, but to make a difference, too."

Meanwhile, mothers of Iraq war dead – because there are more parents who have lost children than just Cindy Sheehan at Camp Casey – can't leapfrog over Bush's bike riding, fishing and nap-taking for even a quick meeting.


YDG also has:

a sampling of comments from right-wingers posting at the Huffington Post comments section on the story about Cindy Sheehan leaving Camp Casey to be with her sick mother:

"We need reporters to verify this story. I want to know from the doctors what caused this stroke. Was it shame brought about from her daughter trashing her grandson's memory?"

"Cindy....did it ever occur to you that YOU may be the cause of your mothers stroke?????? Give it up; you are shaming your family."

"This woman is a looser. Last time I checked this was a volunteer army. I don't care about Bush, its apparent to everyone the guy has made a lot of mistakes (except for Limbaugh). GET OVER IT."

"I hope Cindy realizes that she probably caused her mother’s stroke. No of course not, being the self-centered poor pitiful me person she is, she will find a way to blame Bush."


Compassionate conservatives. Gotta love 'em.

No, you don't.
