5. Losing His Sister; Most Cowardly Thing
Surely losing his sister Robin to cancer. But he was just a kid then, and that was a long time ago.

Shrinks seem to think that's the reason he won't go to funerals, and won't be photographed with the flag-draped coffins of American soldiers.

That one thing alone -- unwillingness to own the consequences of his decision to go to war -- is what convinces me George W. Bush has never moved beyond adolescence, emotionally. Grown-ups face up to reality.

16. Lost a fight with a pretzel,
got knocked out, smashed up his face, and lived to tell that courageous *story* with a smirk on his face!

7. He once saved the entire membership of Skull and Bones...
from alcohol poisoning, by drinking it all himself. :evilgrin:

Oh, and I think he got a paper cut once, and didn't cry hardly at all -- even when mumsy had her servant put some iodine on it. What a guy.

The Dog That Didn't Bark
If Bush had ever done anything courageous, we would certainly have heard if by now. If he'd ever climbed a tree to rescue a cat, it would be a campaign slogan. They'd commission a song about it. They'd work references to it in every campaign speech.

We can conclude that Bush has never done anything heroic. Not once.

13. Nads?
Hillary Clinton visited troops in both Afghanistan and Iraq around the same time, and she didn't sneak in and out in the middle of the night. I guess she has even more "nads."

19. I agree
Hillary has more nads than shrub. The question was "what is the most corageous thing he did".

Not "who is the most corageous".

I'm sure he was shivering with fear on approach.

10. Uhhhhhh
Potty training? Too bad he never learned to walk while drunk. He keeps falling down (note to the shrub: keep up the rock climbing! It'll save us from having to bring you up on criminal charges!)

And who said he's quit drinking??? I've never seen such a gray face on any sober person I know! And look at that noise!

14. Refuse to emulate Wolfowitz's habit
of dragging his dirty comb through his dirty mouth before dragging it through his dirty hair.

Aside from that I can't think of a damned thing that Bush has in common with the word "courage".
