Are you KIDDING me?!
Edited on Tue Oct-21-08 07:46 PM by Earth_First
"Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter." --George W. Bush, in parting words to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French President Nicolas Sarkozy at his final G-8 Summit, punching the air and grinning widely as the two leaders looked on in shock, Rusutsu, Japan, July 10, 2008

The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter."

He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.

7. In the history of public officials and public speakers, he is absolutely the worst.
Seriously, Bush makes Congressman Gopher from Love Boat look like Winston Churchill.

12. Yes, the brazenness of W's defiance in the face of the wreckage he's left behind
is still enough to leave more intelligent people speechless.

13. I live in Iowa, where it snows quite a bit...
...so of course I have a good pair of boots.

They're inexpensive, warm, extremely waterproof, and steel-toed.

I would like very much to give my boots to an NFL placekicker with a size 10 1/2 foot...

...and have him, with as much force as he could muster, kick George W. Bush in the crotch.

Seven times.

19. He really wants to make things as difficult as possible for the Obama Administration.



And that includes destroying what's left of America's reputation abroad.

20. Good thing the prime minister of Japan wasn't there, otherwise Dubya might have wanted to
puke in his lap, as a shout-out to his father.

21. Goddamn monkey faced idiot.
"Mr Bush also faced criticism at the summit after Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian Prime Minister, was described in the White House press pack given to journalists as one of the "most controversial leaders in the history of a country known for government corruption and vice"."
