If you caught the video of the president today, you saw a new, reinvigorated Bush. Apparently his ad-men found the ideal person to counteract Cindy Sheehan and the anti-war sentiment that's been lying dormant just beneath American topsoil, waiting for someone to stimulate it to life. Obviously, the Democratic party many were counting on, hoping for, to stand up against this bullshit war died back in late 2000, when they rolled over dead as Bush stole his way into office. (If anyone needs confirmation of this, review autumn, 2004, when they again played dead as the neocons stole another one.)
Bush's new vigor is derived from an Idaho mother, Tammy Pruett, whose four sons are now serving in Iraq as part of an Idaho National Guard call-up. I'm always amazed at the bravado which can result from the injection of new testosterone like her and her son's story have provided Bush. If you happen to catch the brief spot on TV news, pay particular attention to the new found enthusiasm and especially the machismo Bush employs when flipping the page he's speaking from.
Let us hope the Pruett's four sons all return safely from their tours in Iraq!

The Pruett's seem like genuinely good people who I only wish the best for. Will keep their boys in my prayers. But as usual Bush is still the puppet in the Rove game.....I did hate to see the Pruett's story used to boost Bush and his war but it was their choice to participate and freedom of choice is what makes this country great.Bush looked older to me today.......I know he's no spring chicken but I thought he looked 10 years older than from last spring.
best wishes marie
I think he's in a "bring it on" mood again. It's easy to egg someone on when other people's children will get hurt and yours won't.
His jaw was jerking around as usual. I wonder what drugs he's using?
Marie: I read how the Bush camp went in search of a family to counter Cindy Sheehan. The Pruett's MORE than filled the bill. They were like the answer to Bush's prayers by a factor of 4!
Saw their kids on the tube. Fine looking bunch of guys. I certainly hope they all make it home unscathed, but then I hope that for all the troops.
It's regrettable the Pruett parents have agreed to serve as pawns in this mess however. And who knows? Anything happen to one of their sons, they may find themselves seeking out Cindy.
Nona: Certainly the Pruett family reinvigorated Bush. I got the same impression, "Bring it on!" In fact, like you, I think he may have doubled up on his medication (or times it by 4! (grin) before he delivered that speech.
But interestingly, I read some of Bush's growing anger manifesting in the WH at aides and staff because of the increasing numbers that do NOT agree with him. My reading was piqued by the photos of Bush flipping the press off and telling staff to "go fuck yourselves."
Well, always skeptical of sources, I found some--like Pravda, (the English version, which I'm sure is freer and more open than our journalism in this country but, hey, as the Right wing media here would say, "They're a bunch of fucking Communists") that seem to back-up stories with incidents of the foul tempered, silver spoon up his ass, spoiled frat boy run amok, i.e. seriously losing it more and more often.
Some sources suggested he may NOT be on drugs. He may be hitting the bottle again. Either which-way, Ballistic Bush is scarier than hell, isn't it?
