Letter: Our president is world’s punch line

Monday, April 9, 2007 | 7:32 a.m.

Members of the Secret Service should throw their bodies over any microphone that George W. Bush approaches. It seems every time this man opens his mouth, he kills what's left of his dignity.

He drones on about Congress not presenting a troop funding bill before they went on vacation - a bill he has promised to veto for his own political purposes and inflated ego.

Strange that when both houses of Congress were controlled by the Republicans, the bills took much, much longer to hit his desk and he wasn't crying to the press about it. And slamming the Democrats for taking an Easter vacation? By a man that has taken more than 400 days of vacation during his presidency?

Next, he talks to the troops and once again tries to link the Iraq debacle with the 2001 attacks. After five years he still is trying to push this oft disproved lie that has cost hundreds of billions of dollars, thousands of American lives and tens of thousands of American future plans because of debilitating injuries.

Bush is being laughed at by the world. How truly tragic.
