Tales from the Bush League (doing compassion)

ANOTHER CHAPTER in the continuing saga of life under this fella's Administration. (Once again, a disclaimer that we in the Arboretum do not like this person, Mr. Bush, for many reasons.)

Who: David Kuo, Former Special Advisor to the current Resident of the White House

What: a book he wrote called: Tempting Faith

The Story:
==That John Dilulio, White House (get this) Director of Faith Based Initiatives had been quoted in an article saying that Mr. Bush's program of 'compassionate conservatism' had, "a complete lack of a policy apparatus" and so his promises were being ignored;
==that Bush had read this and was furious;
==that at a White House meeting he demanded:

The Quote: "Well," [Bush] yelled. . . "is [DiIulio] right or isn't he? Have we done compassion or haven't we? I wanna know."


Yikes! A Compassionate government lacking in compassion?
Well, I have a modest suggestion for Mr. Bush. You can go (oops, I mean you can send a servant) to the market and buy this:
It's canned compassion. It comes in several strengths: Real Compassion, Condensed Compassion, and Red Hot Empathy.

It's available at this market ...



...and costs only 3-cents a can. And, wait, there's more! This month only there is an overstock special: 2-cents a can for Mere Concern, which would be perfect for the military families you address so often and who are accostomed to hardships. Here you can also get boxes of A-Penny-for-your-Thoughts, and imported packages of Much-Ado-About-Nothing.


You can hand it out at every speaking stop. It's such affordable compassion that it requires no sacrifices of any kind. There, now, won't that nicely cover your pesky compassion thing?
