Monday night's NBC game show Deal or No Deal featured a three-tour veteran of the war in Iraq, picking off suitcases in hopes that his held the million big ones.

President Bush decided to drop in and wish the war veteran good luck via a taped segment. An absolute honor for the veteran, I'm sure, but Bush really should have been wearing a red bulbous nose:

"I'm thrilled to be with you on Deal or No Deal tonight," Bush started. "Come to think of it, I'm thrilled to be anywhere with high ratings these days."

Heh. Heh. Heh.

That Bush continues to poke fun at himself and his absolute disgrace of a presidency is a joke in and of itself. Not only is it offensive, but Bush's sense of humor only shows him for the clown that he really is.

Whew. Had to get that off my chest, thanks. That was my Keith Olbermann "Special Comment" moment of the day.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
