Bush Parody: Swing 'Em Home

Swing 'Em Home, a group dedicated to "golfing to bring home the troops," rejects Bushs' vow to quit golfing out of respect for the soldiers in Iraq. "I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the Commander-in-Chief playing golf," Bush told Mike Allen in an interview in May. The Swing 'Em Home guys refuse to thank the troops for fighting for their freedom by neglecting to enjoy their freedom to play golf. So they adamantly express their hatred for the war and terrorists with each swing, and every hole has become a true "mission accomplished" for men who golf for the troops.
