Dubya's "sacrifice" reminds me BG lifer Mark Malinski said much the same thing when deploring Joseph's busier schedule, and how it was keeping us from being as close as we used to and appreciating each other's contributions. (You'll recall, I quit the next day.) I remember thinking, what an asshole, then, too. Mark my word, he'll be nailed on the links soon after he leaves office. And his excuse I bet, he can't be held to that anymore.

Update: Keith O. calls him out. All the more reason I hate golf(ers).
