Bush is "a Little Envious" of the Troops

Is he serious? Nah, it just goes to show when he ad libs he creates problems for himself. His latest "Bushism" occurred Friday when on a videoconference. Bush heard from U.S. military and civilian personnel about the challenges of Afghanistan. His response?

"I must say, I'm a little envious. If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed."

"It must be exciting for you ... in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You're really making history, and thanks."

What a complete idiot. Romantic? What is he thinking?

I'm sure all the vets coming back with PTSD feel really romantic about now.
