"As you can possibly see, I have an injury myself -- not here at the hospital, but in combat with a Cedar. I eventually won. The Cedar gave me a little scratch. As a matter of fact, the Colonel asked if I needed first aid when she first saw me. I was able to avoid any major surgical operations here, but thanks for your compassion, Colonel."

- "Commander-in-Chief", George Bush

And where did Bush make this astonishing confession of his bravery in battle and his near-mortal wounds? At the Brooke Army Medical Center, visiting soldiers who had been wounded (presumably in Iraq or Afghanistan, and presumably just a bit more seriously than a scratch). Articles in various newspapers have pictures of Bush with medical personnel, but, to no one's surprise, none of Bush with any amputees or anyone who will be suffering just a bit longer than George, but who served their country very well today as the foil for Bush's "humor."

Update: I forgot to add, this speech occured preceding a "press availability." Not one of the reporters who got to ask a question thought to (or dared to) ask Bush how he dared to compare his scratch to the serious injuries of soldiers he had sent off to battle, even in jest.
