He was probably drunk.
Gah? You can’t be serious…this has to be from The Onion (masquerading as a British paper), right?
After 8 years of president fratboy, you’d think I wouldn’t be shocked by his behavior anymore. But I am.
It’s totally unpresidential, but it does succeed as a joke, I suppose. I mean, I’m laughing pretty heartily at it, anyway. The imagery is amusing…

I thought Dubya was talking about himself personally, rather than about his country.

Unfortunately not. See here , here , and here . If it’s a joke, a lot of reputable news organizations are falling for it.

Mon frère,* you beat me to it. 
He’s wrong anyway…the US is number 2 now on the pollution scene. China has over taken us for the top honors…

I really look forward to having a President I can be proud of, I really do.

On a per capita basis though we still rule the roost.

It made me laugh, too. I have suspected for a while that Bush has a wicked dry sense of humour that he hasn’t in his many years on this planet learned to control.

Dry humor suggests that he is appreciative of the irony of his comments.
But his joke, in light of his policies, actually suggests that he is indifferent to the irony of his comments.
Which makes him an asshole.
Really? I always thought Canada was the worst per capita.
Anyhow, I kinda laughed at Bush’s comments. I’d really have to hear the tone of voice to know whether it makes him an asshole. At the very least he seems aware of it and that has to be worth something. I’m not fan of his…
If he were in a position where he couldn’t do much harm (like, say, Dan Quayle), I’d enjoy his stupidity a lot more. As it is, I’m gritting my teeth and waiting it out 'til November…

Oh, you are just trying to make us all feel good!
(sorry…inside joke. It reminds me of arguments in the past about the US vs Japan in industrial and economic output)
