I guess war makes people crazy; This guy gave one of his three Purple Hearts to Bush:
"I feel the President deserved one," he said. "The bottom line is, I paid for these Purple Hearts with my blood."
Listen Buddy, while you were paying for those Purple Hearts with your blood, Big Hero was paying a bar tab in Kennebunkport, probably cackling drunkenly about all those suckers who's Daddy's weren't rich and powerful enough to get them out of serving.
Besides, I would love to learn more of the rationale for saying that Bush "deserves" one; I didn't think you get a Purple Heart for a Self Inflicted Wound, and the closest he ever got to being injured in the line of duty was a nose bleed he got after doing too many lines while on duty.
I am truly embarrassed for this guy. I can just imagine him sitting at home back in Killeen, TX watching our troops getting their asses handed to them again on the evening news. He feels their pain and wishes he could do something. Then, he turns to his wife, a single teardrop on his cheek, and announces this idiotic plan. I'm embarrassed by the sappiness of it all, but I'm most embarrassed because Bill Thomas is just a big-hearted schmuck who is being taken advantage of by a bunch of spoiled frat boys. He deserves better than that. How many more Bill Thomases will be sacrificed at the alter of George Bush's ego?
