George Bush--"Follow Me Boys. We've Got 'Em On The Run."

At today's presser Tony Snow told Helen Thomas that President Bush was on the front lines in the War in Iraq.

This comment invokes the image of George W. Bush holding his M-16 as he leads his unit through a hail of insurgent bullets. One of his young comrades is hit. The President stops to give assistance. Bullets are flying all around. The young soldier says, "Go on Mr. President, save yourself, I'm done for."

The President lifts the young soldier to his shoulders in a fireman's carry. As he carries the wounded man to the aid station, he fires both his and his fallen comrade's M-16s, one in each hand, Rambo style. Attacking islamofacist insurgents fall by the dozens.

Another classic Tony Snow comedy riff. I picked this one up at Talking Points Memo.
