Bush lied! Man, the guy can’t even tell the truth when he’s putting us down!

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

Those are all the same source, btw. The first two are just quoting the third one.

The little bit about the Italian prime minister leads me to believe its either a practical joke of some sort, or else one hilarious mistranslation.
Indeed.
Funny, funny stuff. Easily as good as his “maybe the WMDs are under this podium!” shtick, if not quite as hilarious as his spot-on impression of Karla Faye Tucker pleading for her life.
Was that punch he did to the air a “terrorist fist jab”? I’m scared… someone tell me what’s going on?

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…

Sorry he can still fuck us over until January 09.
Before you all get so huffy, go back up and look at what John Mace said. We’ve got a British tabloid reporting the story, and others quoting it. I’ll believe this happened when I see a report from a major TV news network (CNN, CBC, BBC…) or a reputable newspaper.
THEN I’ll get all huffy.

I’m getting a bit skeptical about this story. It was supposedly said in a private meeting, so how did it get out? Doesn’t seem like many news sources are caring this story. A yahoo search turns up the telegraph and then a bunch of blogs.

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.

While I will be at the head of the line to spit on his grave for all of his faults - I willing give him credit for being a really funny guy. I’m sure some of it comes from being a sociopath, but still…
I give it a C+.
If he had paused after ‘polluter’ and ripped a fart, then we’re talking.
Try as I might, I can’t find the humor in it.
I would think it wildly funny if he were to grasp his throat, foam at the mouth, fall to the ground and decompose the instant Obama is sworn in.

No, no, the booze interferes with the good Jamaican grass high. Don’t you know anything? Not a Yalie, are you?

He’s giving it the old college try, but he still can’t top Reagan’s “We begin bombing in five minutes,” routine.

I’m not sure if you’re serious or not, but I find that joke of Reagan’s to be far and away the funniest in this category. The idea of “legislation that will outlaw Russia” tickles me pink.
It’s good to see that George W. Bush has, indeed, brought badly-needed gravitas to the office of the President.
And surrounded himself with the best of advisors, so he can turn to them and not do anything stupid.
Fans of this sort of humor may want to check out bin Laden’s underground comedy tape—tough to find, but it’s floating around. He does a pantomime bit about the burning towers falling on screaming Jews that is fucking brilliant.

Yeah, that and Reaganomics made the decade a real riot. Bush the Elder tried to follow it up with making Danny Quayle his Number One Best Boy and vomiting on the Japanese Prime Minister, but he never really hit his stride. Clinton, of course, was rife for humor, but the undisputed King of Comedy is Lyndon Johnson.

There is, but because it is taped over the beginning of an old tape of the Star Wars Holiday Special (if you watch past the end of the rant it cuts to Bea Arthur singing) George Lucas has dedicated his life and fortune to making sure it is destroyed and forgotten by the general public.
