Born at the Crest of the Empire

Wednesday, April 26, 2006

I was just thinking about this the other day, and I thought it would make a good question for Tony Snow on his first day.

Has President Bush paid his respects at any funerals for US soldiers who died in Iraq? If not, why not?

Or maybe,

President Bush has stopped purchases for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve freeing up an additional 70,000 barrels of oil a day for the market. If the Iraqi oil industry was producing at prewar levels, it would be producing an additional 500,000 bpd. Does the administration have a comment on that?

both questions are great. Then there's always the one about why Prince Charles' son is willing to go to Iraq and fight but Bush's daughters are caught doing drugs and carousing all night while their peers die in a war their father started for no good reason.

I second the question about Prince Harry serving in Iraq whil the Bush twins drink, snort, and %@&* their way through high Washington society.

Yeah, I agree with the premise that Bush doesn't have any skin in the game, but it's not like he can force his kids to enlist. It's their decision in the end. He could "encourage" them, though.

Maybe a question like,

"Has President Bush ever discussed the military as a possible career with his daughters?"

That way it's on his actions.
