Anyone see *'s shameful behavior at last meeting with the Dutch leader?

[CoffeeCat]

Did anyone else see the amazing video of Junior's last meeting with Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende--about a year ago?

The cameras were rolling before Balkenende entered the room. Junior was speaking with someone off camera and he gruffly said, "I won't remember his name! Write it down!" He was acting like an abrasive moron. This was fabulous video of Junior making an ass out of himself.

Then Junior looks toward the door, sees Balkenende and practically screams, "JAN PETER!" like a frat boy greeting his long lost pledge son. I was dying!!

Balkenende looks totally put off by Junior's bravado, but he maintains composure.

Then Junior and Balkenende are about to be seated and our classy pResident belts out this gravely groan/sigh---as if he's Al Bundy--getting in place to watch a Bears game. Junior's hair is messed up, and he's sitting with his legs spread. I'm telling you--you gotta see this, if you haven't!

This video is priceless and I cannot locate it anywhere online! I looked for an hour the other night.

Did anyone else see this video? Or does anyone know where to locate it??

3. Interesting.

As I like to say at these moments, "GOOBER!"

5. DOH!

:)

I did find that video, but I could never get it to play for me. I assumed since the link was older, that it might not be working.

Hey thanks for finding that! Pardon me while I try to walk and chew gum at the same time. :)

11. I had to go through a link at

arrianaonline.com

http://www.ariannaonline.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-1706.html

Every other search brought up his recent meeting with Jon Peter.

so it was easy to miss. Thanks for alertin us to it. Its really fucking painful to have that numbnuts represent my country.

16. You need to kill your other players (such as Real Player)

that are hogging your sound card. It might play then. Puke. Puke.

17. Worked great for me!

6. Oh. My. God. I never saw that. Thanks for posting the link.

It's like the entire civilized world is at a dinner party and trying to ignore the loutish behavior of one of the guests hoping we can all just get through it. The man is truly an animal.

9. That was my exact response when I saw the video...

It's like watching a car accident. You hope that what you've just seen DIDN'T REALLY happen, but it's real!

I can't see the video, due to a computer glitch--but your reaction was priceless.

When you juxtapose his scripted appearances with THIS--the differences in his behavior are disturbing and hilarious!

I'm thinking: State of the Union Speech--with meds; Meeting with Jan Peter--No meds.

Something is so, so off. He's such an embarrassment to all of us!! It's the Clampets meets JR Ewing!

This video should be titled: "Junior: Unleashed and Off the Ritalin!"

LOL!! :)

12. Geez oh man.

I have no knowledge of any European languages, but I listened to the whole newscast and I think I made out "dumbkopf" and "sycophants" in relation to Boosh and New York.

I have a Republican co-worker whose brother lives in The Netherlands, and she visits him once in a while and knows the language. I wonder if she would like to translate this for me. :evilgrin:

[Wickerman]

18. let me know what you find

that was some pretty silly stuff. And yeah, I think the newscasters were on to him.

2. Did * just meet w/ Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende this weekend?

The Dutch Prime Minister who spoke at the VE Day ceremnony in Holland gave an excellent speech. Bu$h, as usual, was an idiot.

4. What is funniest is Bush sitting down..."AAARRRGGGHHMMMMPPH"

Legs spread wide...I though he was going to lift his cheek to fart or something! GOD was maroon!

[NightOwwl]

7. What a f*ckng classless moron.

He is an embarrassment to the human race.

[flordehinojos]

8. oh if only that were the only shameful behavior of bush ...

did you see him today on CNN?

[MuseRider]

10. What did he do?

I don't watch them anymore but appreciate those of you who can stomach the crap and tell us what is happening.

[flordehinojos]

14. i was wondering just exactly what it was that he was doing when he

seemed to be on a stage, walking across it when all of a sudden he started shaking his bootie in some sort of dance...

i think that the dignataries who were there did not think it was all that funny and i think laura bush did not either.

i just learned from another thread that they (wherever this was) were a putting a show on for him when he walked upon the stage and seemingly started to do this mashed-potatoe (or i don't know the name of the dance) as if to take the spot light away from the dancers and put it back on him.

there was a clip of it on CNN... i had it on mute but i think john king and leslie wolf blitzer both thought it was darned funny. it was not. it was angering--that is what it was!

13. Al Bundy is right

After he collapsed in the chair, I was half expecting Junior to stuff his hand down the front of his pants and grab hold of his balls just like Al liked to do.

[calimary]

15. No, but I did see (or suffer through) coverage of an utterly ABYSMAL

"speech" he gave over the weekend. I think it was during the wee hours of Sunday morning. MSNBC broke away from its canned late night coverage to go live to the Netherlands, I believe.

GAWD-AWFUL. The idiot could not even get through TWO SENTENCES without blowing his lines. It was embarrassing. Drinking again, ASSHOLE??!?!?!?!??!? Good GAWD, that's what is "representing" us to Western Europe on such a prestigious occasion. Just disgusting. Made me damn near vomit.
