Okay, I wasn’t really going to write anything about Bush saying “shit” because it really wasn’t anything very surprising. The sad part was hearing just how fucking stupid he is, and that our foreign policy is being decided by a guy who thinks its “ironic” that “they” (like, some other people) could just get Syria to tell Hezbollah to stop this shit. It was more embarrasing to hear how he addressed other world leaders, especiallly a few days ago at a joint press conference, where he kept referring to the Chancellor of Germany as “Angela.” Would he like her to talk with the press about George? Probably not, because he’s on some power trip. But even that wasn’t anything really new, as he did the same with “Jacques,” or the elected leader of France, many years ago. However, [this bullshit is outrageous.](http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/009086.php) Someone pull this assclown back to Washington - he’s a major league embarrassment. Does Bush really think it’s appropriate to give massages to world leaders. Look at Merkel’s reaction. Clearly, she was creeped out. Fuck you, prick. You’re embarrassing us all. Okay, most of us, apart from 29% of the population, who are ass-lickers anyway. ---

Back to Washington? I’d prefer back to Crawford. 917 days and counting. I can’t wait to see how the Bush cult members try to sugarcoat this one. ---

Why not do both? Besides, most cocksuckers here would respond to a reasoned discussion of Bush’s foreign policy moves with “Oh yeah, you just hate Bush. We’re turning corners. You’ll see, eventually, but you can’t know anything from a snapshot a few years into the process.” Besides, I wouldn’t include unwanted groping as an elemet of “table manners” or “informality.” I take it you see his giving Merkel a massage as a good thing? If not, why all the fucking effort to downplay and distract? ---

> [@BobLibDem](#): > > I’d prefer back to Crawford. 917 days and counting. Good God! Is it that long? Really?? This seems like the longest presidency in my lifetime. I’m not offended by him saying a swear word. But all of these things together ( massages, informality (“Yo, Blair”), talking with his mouth full) paint a very bad picture. Appearances do count for something and if I were a world leader, I would find it very difficult to take him seriously. No wonder the US is so hated. If I lived overseas, I would always feel like I had to apologize for my President, like he’s the drunk uncle at a party. ---

What do you expect from a president elected based on the idea that one could imagine having a beer with him? That is how people behave when they are out having a few beers. He has done nothing unexpected. ---

> [@Jackmannii](#): > > Wouldn’t it be more effective to dissect Bush’s foreign policy moves in concrete terms, rather than to splutter over his informality and table manners? That informality is part of why his foreign policy is perceived as impotent. Protocol is very important, and diplomacy stands on formality. This is not the worst diplomatic faux pas I’ve ever seen, but it’s certainly not the way you do business with the most powerful countries in the world. ---

Right. His daddy committed the worst one. _barf_ Heeeheheeeeeheheee! I digress. Really, having a go at his table manners comes down to one very important thing. When your job is to behave in a certain way when hobnobbing with other Very Important People and they regard you as a crap-flinging primate (with sincere apologies to other crap-flinging primates) you aren’t going to get taken seriously or at least without massive derision, and that really isn’t the goal. Or IS it? Muaaahahahaaaahahaaaa!!! ---

> [@Nutty Bunny](#): > > Good God! Is it that long? Really?? This seems like the longest presidency in my lifetime. Yes it is. I made a spreadsheet which I refer to daily to check the total number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds until he leaves. There are now less than 80,000,000 seconds left of his decidership, or if you prefer he has 62.77% of his term remaining. ---

None of those sound good to me at all. ☹ Even my grandfather, who used to salute the TV when Bush appeared on the news, is wavering in his support. He’s finally embarassed by him. ---
