Cove veteran presents Purple Heart to President Bush

I wasn’t going to post anything any longer about George W. Bush but I can’t refrain from this one. In case you’re wondering, no, you’re not drunk, and no, this is also no joke (which comedian would be able to come up with something this absurd?): “Bill and Georgia Thomas reported they were elated Monday when they met in the Oval Office with President George W. Bush to present him with a Purple Heart. […] The couple was able to meet with President Bush for about 20 minutes to present him with one of three Purple Hearts that Bill Thomas received during his service in Vietnam. […] Thomas said he and his wife came up with the unprecedented idea to present the president with the Purple Heart over breakfast one morning a few months ago as they discussed the verbal attacks, both foreign and domestic, the commander in chief has withstood during his time in office.” (story)
