Joe and Georgie, sitting in a tree....

from E&P:

At a press conference with reporters along for his trip to China, President Bush found several questions relating to the current debate back in the States over the Iraq pullout plan pushed by Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.).

Among other things, he said "the progress in Iraq is amazing" and rejected Murtha's complaint about Vice President Cheney, who received five deferments during the Vietnam war, questioning the "backbone" of Iraq war critics who had served in battle. "I don't think the Vice President's service is relevant in this debate," Bush said.


He also hailed "fine Democrats like Senator Joe Lieberman share the view that we must prevail in Iraq."

And in turn, Joe is so taken with Shrub that he is going to ask him to come to Connecticut to help out in the 2006 Senate campaign...

by stumping for Joementum's Republican opponent.
