Just a brief aside. I don't care about the "shit" comment so much, it was

[pinto]

puerile in the setting - but what's new. I don't care so much about the embarrassingly bad table manners - par for the course, I assume.

But his unscripted example of Bush diplomacy, at a world summit and in reference to the Secretary General of the UN - "I feel like picking up the phone and telling him to call Assad..." - now that concerns me.

1. This Bush is so out of it. Every thing funny to him.

I would never call Bush a deep thinker.

[tinfoil tiaras]

2. Unlike the true president of the United States

Mr. Al Gore. Now thats a deep thinker if I ever did see one. He is so eloqent, while El Chimpo is so...not eloquent.

5. I read that Barbara used to have to take him in hand with

very important people when that Geo. Bush was in office. He had to be pretty old then but still make very stupid remarks to very important people. It is like he lives in his own world and so un-sure of him self that he does these things thinking as President he is always right. People who are really un-sure of them self often do seem to stick to what they do know and will not even try to learn anything else. I read a lot and he is so like these last rulers in Europe that all went down in the first WW1 Like the Czar for one. All those men sort of had the same thinking that God put them in office and they were always right and we know what happened to the Romanovs, Germany and the Hapsburgs. Yar I do know the family name of the German royal family but could never spell it.And we should stick in the Ottomans in the group also. They all also left one big mess where ever they went. And they were sure bloody with other peoples blood. I can never figure out why the Brits and Fr. joined in so happily with what went on in that war. The best educated in all these countries went very willingly to that war. That has a least been learned now and just the lower classes now go and usually becasue they have to.

8. I've read somewhere that GWB may have some sort of mental disorder

...no shit.

[originalpckelly]

10. Are we saying the emperor has no clothes?

:rofl:

[izzie]

12. I guess so but he does act like that last group of royals that

sure took Europe down. Course all Thur history we have had such rulers off and on that did really bad things, and it was one reason our founders wanted things set up as they did so we would never get such a screw ball in place. I just find it beyond my thinking how people could vote for Bush after he had been in for 4 years. I guess the people really want a ruler that thinks he gets his orders from God. Sure is un-American to my way of thinking and a far cry from our Constitutions which is what we are to be for. I do not think I can take he is C. in Chief once more. The army is not his personal play thing. When they did that part of the Constitution at Yale he must have been tacking stuff on to peoples bare chest as a joke, as they said he did.

3. He has embarrassed me beyond words.

What must the world think of us when Bush represents us?

[AtomicKitten]

4. talking with his mouth full of food epitomized his tackiness

... and his words cemented that impression.

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. Yes

G-8 is a meeting of world leaders, not a barbecue at the ranch or a frat beer bust.

The so-called leader of the free world must have a firm grasp of decorum and protocol. And neither of those include sneaking up behind the chancellor of Germany and groping her.

[MrBenchley]

7. Yo, Blair!

Of course, the only prudes who could be excpected to make a fuss about the "shit" comment are the pharisees who support the incompetent drunk.

It's time for a letter writing campaign to ask Pat Robertson and James Dobson to demand an apology for this obsenity.

[leftchick]

9. exactly

it terrified me. :scared:

[Ganja Ninja]

11. The whole display reminds me of a Roman Emperor that ...

inherited his position and doesn't feel the need to live by the normal social rules the common folk generally observe. He's a boorish, bullying, uncouth slob. He doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks. He's the emperor and everybody else is beneath him. I think he really believes that just being in his presence a privilege.
