Reportedly President Bush periodically meets with the families of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, this to offer his condolences and thank them for their loved ones' service. Imagine if one of the grief-stricken mothers were to step up to the President, say to him "You lying sack of ----, you killed my son!" and slap him hard across the face. Would she be wrestled to the ground, placed under arrest, and later sent to prison for physically assaulting the Chief Executive? Perhaps. It would be a tough call.
One thing's for certain: that mother would instantly become a heroine in the eyes of millions of Americans. Bumper stickers reading "Slap him again!" or t-shirts sporting "Give him another!" would be seen everywhere. There'd be parades in her honor. Small towns would be renamed after her. And just imagine her popularity abroad! She'd be the toast of London, Paris, Rome -- not to mention all the Middle Eastern capitals.
As for her running for political office? Hell, I'd vote for her in a heartbeat. Wouldn't you?
