Ouch-From Russia (Pravda): Mr. Bush, Enough!! Do you hear people laughing at you Mr. Bush?
Edited on Sun Aug-17-08 11:11 AM by kpete


Mr. Bush, Enough!!

Do you hear people laughing at you Mr. Bush?



So you have the colossal audacity, Mr. Bush, to “warn” Russia to pull back? As the wanton, perverse war criminal under whose watch the world saw the crime known as “shock and awe” committed, I’d say you were well out of your mind to suggest that Russia should pull back.

What’s a little shock and awe among inferior people we want to rob and destroy, eh?

What do human beings need an infrastructure for?

Why do they need clean water? Why do they need electricity?

What’s a little torture?

What’s a little regime change? Don’t recall when that was a goal of yours?

What’s a little deviant, perverted sexual experimentation and humiliation?

What’s a few secret detention camps?

What’s wrong with destroying an environment for 4 billion years and generations after generations of people? After all, they’re just rag heads, aren’t they Mr. Bush?

a has-been, a joke.

The only countries on our side are those who are benefitting somehow - and that won't last much longer, I don't think.

2. The good news is that by extension they're also laughing at the gop.
The more he talks the more he becomes the millstone around the grand old party's neck. I predict that after the convention in Minneapolis * will be out of the news or at least have his appearances even more curtailed until after the election.

3. Double ouch. That's gotta sting.
Not just laughed at, but laughed at by Pravda. When did they become a voice of reason?

Edited on Tue Aug-19-08 10:07 PM by Ilsa
advice when they advise him on advice.

Crap. I can't remember exactly how he* said it.

10. Sadly, it is how other countries view us
I have friends in the Netherlands, Scotland, and England who all are laughing at Boosh (and therefore us). It's embarrassing.

11. Yes, everyone should look at their own behavior before documenting atrocities of others
Russia included. No exceptions.

21. Russia's deft use of Pravda is getting it a pass, if not a high-five, from the anti-Bush world
All you have to do to eat babies on national high-def television is point a finger at Bush, it seems. Certain people will play with that shiny little toy while awful things happen all around them.

13. We have no credibility on acts of international aggression.
We've set the gold standard for unjustifiable invasion and occupations. Thanks George and Dick...your mark on this country will take generations to erase.

14. Wow, Pravda sounds almost like Keith Olbermann!
I'd love to hear Keith read that column out loud as part of a "Special Comment." In its entirety, of course.

15. I hate Bush and I feel slapped by this article
Or maybe my cheeks are tingling because of embarrassment. How embarrassing to be taken to task like this. I know it's directed at Bush and Cheney and Condaleeza with her flapping mouth but it's those of us who care who feel this. Sadly it will be lost on the Bushies. They'll probably get pissy and more aggressive now, like every bully ever taken to task. They'll go kick another country to show what bad asses they are.

16. Pravda? you mean the Russian Version of FOX?
Yeah, very reliable source there.

And their criticizing of The Dimwit is just as hypocritical as Dimwit's criticisms of them. Just because someone else does something wrong doesn't make it right for you to do that same thing.

17. Shhh...somepeople here prefer to see the Bush bashing no matter how shitty the source
Not to mention overlook the pro Russian nationalist tripe they spit.

It's more of a tabloid then a propaganda piece btw. Batboy and UFO kind of shit.

The pronationalistic Russian media (Pravda and it's wacky antics included) will never critise Putin in that kind of editorial...

24. it is not pravda's fault, nor the people on du's fault. really sits in bush lap for being a fool
what did he and mccain and the rest expect saying this stupid shit that was so obvious and in face of their own hypocrisy. why would anyone NOT state the obvious.

oh cause we in america turn our head

yes it would be wonderful if we didnt have such a fool or arrogant adm that they didnt say stupid things like this to get in pravda newspaper, but hardly the newspapers fault

27. For once
"Pravda" lives up to it's name - Truth!

There's an old Russian saying from back in the Soviet days that says, "there is no News in the Truth, and no Truth in the News". The other major newspaper from back in the day was "Izvestia" or "News".
