And the urgency to have gone to the hospital 10 months ago was...?


To visit all the amputees Bush and Vampire Cheney created.

Okay, I guess that would've been a good enough reason, especially
since Obama probably would've done a better job of it than when Bush
went.

"I was placed in a room that didn't have heat in the winter," recalled
former Walter Reed resident Brian McGough, a senior adviser to the
nonprofit VoteVets.org. "It took forever for them to fix it, so I was
finally moved into another facility."


D'Oh ! it the US Congress that 'appropriates' the
Funds for the Operations and Maintenance of US
Military and Veteran Hospitals so don't blame
Clinton, Bush of Obama : The Blame is Congress'


It would be around the time of that move when McGough received his
Purple Heart. In 2003, Bush traveled to Walter Reed for a MRI and,
hoping to knock off two birds with one stone, passed around awards to
some of the wounded soldiers resting under that roof.

"We got called up in the morning told to be at a room in 10," McGough
said. "We were called to attention, so you had a bunch of wounded
soldiers trying to stand up for the president. He walked around and
handed us our purple hearts and left a few minutes later... Six months
after that I got a random email from a software engineer for the Army
who had the same name as me. He had received a photo in the mail -- a
picture of me shaking hands with the president. They had my name,
Social Security number, and address and they still sent it to the
wrong guy... [And] if you look at the photo... you will see that my
first name is spelled wrong. That sums up a lot about this
administration."
