Governor Bill Richardson takes issue with Bush's sense of humor

This in via email:

Dear Lisa Renee,

We cannot allow the shame that is America's involvement in Iraq to continue any longer.

3,600 American soldiers have given their lives in this botched and misguided war -- Americans, with families, whose deaths are inestimable losses for those who love them.

Meanwhile, last week President Bush told the Australian Prime Minister that America is "kicking ass" in Iraq.

"Kicking ass?"

What does our President think this is, a high school football game? Where is his leadership? Where is his sense of proportion? Where is his compassion?

This is not the first time the President's choice of humor has caused issues, not to mention the reality that given the recent report on conditions in Iraq, it's hard to support the "kicking ass" theory...

Bush never has been a master wordsmith has he?

One could accuse the Prez of speaking a dialect of Engrish known as Manglish...
