What's the Deal?

I've never seen the show Deal or No Deal and have never felt a real loss. But I was tempted to tune it in tonight because of a random promo I saw the other day.

They played a taped message from Pres. Bush to cheer on a contestant. Granted, the contestant was a marine who had served three tours in Iraq, but if Bush really wanted to honor him there are other ways (and that's not the point of this post). Instead of feeling the love, I felt something else altogether. Honestly, I thought my respect for the man was at its absolute lowest and, at the same time, that he couldn't denigrate the office of president any further. I was wrong on both counts.
