Bush pays price for 'Mission Accomplished' sign

By tradition, the proper gift for a fifth anniversary is something made of wood. Jack Murtha must know this, for in observing the fifth anniversary yesterday of President Bush's "Mission Accomplished" speech, he gave the president a rhetorical two-by-four to the head.

That Banner, That Ship. Remember?

Antiwar folks and media critics were preparing all week for the annual Bush-bashing yesterday on the fifth anniversary of the president's appearance on the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln with that "Mission Accomplished" banner behind him.
White House press secretary Dana Perino was fully prepared as well, as she noted at Wednesday's briefing, for the rabid media "to play this up again, as they do every single year." (And, sure enough, they did yesterday, although Perino didn't show up.)

Also, what price is Bush paying? I'm still trying to figure that one out.

That's why we all hate him. (approval rating) I mean it's clearly based on a banner... nothing else.

And the banner was meant for our invasion of Iraq, we all know it. It wasn't that he was happy to leave he was happy we "conquered."
