If Bush had limited himself to telling Saddam to “Stop all this WMD shit”, we’d all be a lot happier. ---

I’d actually be more concerned if he _hadn’t_ said shit, but instead called the whole mess “poop” or something else childish. At least he knows the right words, even if he doesn’t always put them in the proper place. ---

Anyone who cares about this needs to get a hobby. I loathe President Bush deeply and truly but I couldn’t possibly care less if he said the word shit. It’s a non-issue. ---

I do find it endlessly amusing that the “leader of the free world” greets the British Prime Minister with the semi-word “Yo”. Wonder how these summits go… “Yo, Blair…” “Dude! Bush!” “S’up, Chirac?” “How’s it hangin’, Putin?” I wonder if they’re really that casual, off-camera. I assumed they were all on a first-name basis, but maybe it’s more like a frat-party. Hmmm… ---

> [@Malienation](#): > > Jesus, ya know CNN actually made this story a “breaking news” story? Sigh…well, at least it’s better than fixating on Natalie Hollaway, I guess. Wait, Hezbollah has kidnapped Natalie Holloway?! > [@MissGypspy](#): > > I wonder if they’re really that casual, off-camera. I assumed they were all on a first-name basis, but maybe it’s more like a frat-party. Hmmm… I was thinking about that earlier. With Ali al-Sistani as the crusty old dean and the leaders of the G8 as, well, G8 House. “G8 HOUSE!!!” (Sorry, I’ve never seen Animal House, so I stole that line from Futurama." Or even “I hate those guys” or “G8 is now on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION.” ---

I actually think “Yo, Blair” is kind of amusing. I don’t imagine there are many people in the world who can address the British Prime Minister in such a cavalier fashion. I wonder how Blair addresses him back. “'ello, Georgie, ya cunt. Ya wanna have a pint or are still on the wagon?” ---
