Bush's 5 hours in Iraq
The Daily Show's Rob Corddry has the recap:
The president was here for five hours. The first fifteen minutes were spent with the new prime minister, then a quick power nap to sleep off jet lag. That took two hours. Quick chat with the troops, judged a local hummus cook-off and then... With an international flight, you kinda want to get to the airport two hours ahead. You got the check-in, security, duty free shopping. (He picked up a bottle of perfume for Laura---Ahmed Chalabi's Desperation. It's an intoxicating blend of Sunni and Shiite aroma. Smells awful.)Or as Jon Stewart put it:Just his being there for five hours makes a statement. It told the Iraqi people: "I'm with you. I stand behind you. And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm getting the fuck out of here."
He went to Iraq and spent five hours in the Green Zone. That's like going to the Olive Garden and saying you visited Italy.BTW, I've added a new link on the blogroll: "Late Night Political Humor." It's updated daily.
