Guest Post by Morbo<\/a><\/p>\n

The Carpetbagger on Wednesday mentioned<\/a> President George W. Bush’s recent confession that he has given up golf as a way of sacrificing for the troops in Iraq. <\/p>\n

I was touched. What a bold leader we have! Bush is so courageous he’s willing to give up leisure activities to support the war effort. No wonder the president is so popular.<\/p>\n

He’s also modest. I happen to know, from my sources in Washington, that Bush has sacrificed in other ways that have not been made public. Of course, he’s too humble to tell us about them himself. I want to share this list with you, just so you will appreciate even more the true greatness and vision of our dear leader, President George W. Bush:<\/p>\n

1. Eats regular Cap’n Crunch for breakfast, not the kind with crunchberries<\/p>\n

2. Every night before going to bed, listens to a 25-second tape recording of gunfire, so he’ll know what the troops are going through.<\/p>\n

3. Instructed White House housekeeping staff to buy Puffs with Lotion facial tissues only when they’re on sale at Wal-Mart. Otherwise, it’s regular Puffs.<\/p>\n

4. Washes hair in the morning with shampoo only, totally skips conditioner.<\/p>\n

5. Plans to trade in White House SUV that gets 8 miles per gallon for one that gets 11 miles per gallon.

\n6. Stopped eating pretzels. <\/p>\n

7. Cancelled Netflix subscription; instructs Secret Service to just swing by Blockbuster, even though there’s no guarantee “Dumb and Dumber” will be in stock. <\/p>\n

8. Recycled giant cross from Jenna’s wedding by giving it to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

9. Agreed to always say “Democrat Party,” thus saving a syllable every time. Eventually, enough syllables will be saved to enable Bush to give a really stirring speech to the troops.<\/p>\n

10. Will reduce annual brush-clearing vacation from three months to two months, three weeks and five days.<\/p>\n

I get tingles just thinking about it. Isn’t there some way we can get this visionary leader a third term?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
