Progressive Mag says Bush's UN speech full of sanctimony

[JimmyJazz]

"Two years ago, when George Bush addressed the United Nations on Iraq, he blustered that the U.N. risked becoming irrelevant if it didn't do what he wanted it to do, which was to go along for the Iraq ride.

Bush told Bob Woodward in Plan of Attack that "it was a speech I really enjoyed giving."

While Bush was not quite so haughty this time around, he still seemed to be enjoying himself as he laid the sanctimony on thick."

1. No applause huh, well I guess the KING was highly pissed

2. that was my favorite part too

It seems Bush doesn't play well to an international audience. Perhaps they took notes from Ted Kennedy who sat on his hands during the state of the union address.

3. I can take the sanctimony as long as reichousness, mendacity, duplicity,

and hypocrisy are stowed.

4. bush advocating trade unions?

Where would these be? Perhaps in Cuba or some country that doesn't trade with the USA maybe.
