Quote of the Day

“As you can possibly see, I have an injury myself -- not here at the hospital, but in combat with a Cedar. I eventually won. The Cedar gave me a little scratch. As a matter of fact, the Colonel asked if I needed first aid when she first saw me. I was able to avoid any major surgical operations here, but thanks for your compassion, Colonel.”

President Bush, pointing out a scratch on his forehead (and evidently comparing clearing brush to fighting a war) while visiting wounded troops at Brooke Army Medical Center (Hat tip Crooks & Liars, who have more.)

What a jackass.
