Just when I think the news media has reached their lowest, ... they surprise me again.

maybe unlike the previous president, that would fake everything, this president does not want to be mentioned for this type of compassion.

You're being unfair-- the only reason Clinton couldn't grasp a stump with both hands is because he always had to be carrying a Bible for photo ops.

They may not have covered it because they may not have been there.
He doesn't want to use the wounded troops as a photo op like Clinton would have.
The first few times we heard about it because the press complained, but they have gotten used to the exclusion and don't mention it much any more.

You are right. President Bush would NOT want this to be publicized.

Don't believe everything you read in an e-mail. As noted by the Office of the Sergeant Major of the Army, it is an embellishment on the real story. The actual facts are impressive enough, it is a shame that this version continues to make the rounds, tainting the message.

Clinton?!? No! I'm shocked!

http://www.newsmax.com/articles/?a=2000/5/31/103143

You remember the story of the 50th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, don’t you? There’s Clinton walking alone down the Normandy beach as the cameras on the cliffs above grind away. He seems to be lost in thought. He stops when he spies a little cluster of rocks on the beach. He kneels down and arranges those rocks into the shape of a cross.

Cameras grind away, crowd goes wild.

Later some reports filter through that it was all staged. White House aides had reportedly placed those rocks on the beach earlier that morning. "OK, Mr. President. You’ll like be walking down the beach, you know, and you’ll like see this pile of rocks, and you’ll, like, you know, kneel down and like arrange these rocks into a cross, you know. "

The point is .. the President doesn't do it for photo ops .. he does it because that's who he is!

Sooooo .. it's not that the President wouldn't want this to come out .. it's just that he didn't do it to make a splash in the papers. This fact is what drives the liberals crazy. They do everything to get themselves in the media.

Ummm, this is almost identical to the story Dalton Trumbo told about the WWI soldier who inspired his novel, JOhnny Got His Gun.

"...Clinton couldn't grasp a stump with both hands...because he always had to be carrying a Bible..."

And he'd have been groping some nurse's bum with the other.

I imagine Clinton did a lot of stump clasping.

If I remember correctly, the soldier in that novel was a deaf, blind quadriplegic who "talked" by tapping out Morse Code on his pillow.

I'm not sure I follow you.

LOL! I'd forgotten that 40 lb. Bible Bill carried to church during Monicagate. (I never saw another shot of him going to church, before or after, unless it was a campaign speech.)
