VIDEO-Bush Boo-Hoo

Call me a cynic but reading this letter from a fallen soldier was a cheap stunt, plus look at his reaction after

The article on Jeff Starr

3. I don't know if the letter is fake or not, seems like it could be

but this guy was quoted, in part, in the NYTimes and by Malkin the goofball.

But fake or not, crybaby Bush squeezing out the tears in order to rope in the gullible military in the audience was as cheap as Jimmy Swaggart's tearful apology for screwing around.

4. WH likely gets thousands of letters. Not hard to find one like this.

Of course, for every one like that, there may be hundreds with an opposing point of view. But, this wouldn't be the first time this Administration was blind towards anything except that which supports it's own fantasy world.

5. my thoughts exactly...or it is the most blatant example of Bush abusing a

young man's innocence not once but twice. once by sending him to iraq under cover of lies, to fight bugh's greed for oil and distorting the motive for war into a spin for democracy; secondly, by using the young man's innocence to continue to promote bush's own lies and spins after the man died for a false cause and a pack of lies.

9. I thought it was a fake too, but after a Google, see that Bush is

getting back at the New York Times with this charade of tears for this young man....

Doesn't make his show of emotion any less contrived, that's for sure.

8. Did he really cry? Or was it like actors "crying" on TV scrunching their

faces but no tears. Didn't see Bush's performance.
