N. Korea Calls Bush 'Imbecile'
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/08/23/world/main637643.shtml

(AP) North Korea lashed out Monday at U.S. President Bush for turning "a peaceful world into a pandemonium unprecedented in history," and reaffirmed the communist nation won't attend working meetings ahead of planned nuclear disarmament talks.

Last week, President Bush referred to North Korean leader Kim Jong Il as a "tyrant," and said he had embarked on six-nation talks to convince Kim to disarm because the United States couldn't do it alone.

6. No. He's not an technically an imbecile.
If Bush were an imbecile, he would need help going to the bathroom. An imbecile is the dumbest, then comes idiot, then moron, then dull-normal, etc. The appropriate term for Bush is "moron."

23. I don't know...........Imbecile seems to fit perfectly...
Bush can't seem to be able to do much without his "BAD BRAIN", Karl Rove.

snip~

Who is Bush's brain? Karl Rove is, according to a new book chronicling the political life of the Machiavelli behind the throne of King George

As the president's chief political advisor, Rove is involved in every decision coming out of the Oval Office. In fact, he flat out makes some of them. He is co-president of the United States, just as he was co-candidate for that office and co-governor of Texas. His relationship with the president is the most profound and complex of all of the White House advisors. And his role creates questions not addressed by our Constitution.

Rove is probably the most powerful unelected person in American history.

15. So? I prefer the days when Commie Dictators had to make their stuff up
or take a grain of truth and wrap a bunch of lies around them to "make their points".

Which is, in fact, now the Standard Operating Procedure for Bushevik Pravda.

The bottom line is that it is indeed the Pot Calling the Kettle Black, but during the days of Free America, our Kettle was at worst a dull grey.

NOW, the Busheviks and Kim Il Jong share so many philosophies, including a contempt for decency and Filthy Little Nobodies, the only thing that really distinguishes them is the fact that the Busheviks haven;t started brutalizing us yet.

But they will. Evenetually, when 100% unchecked power is theirs, expect them to release their Inner Kim IL Jong.

4. Agree
lil' Kim should stick to kidnapping Japanese citizens..

I read somewhere he is a big fan of pufferfish (fugu, a potentially lethal form of sushi). Hopefully he will pull a homer and a less militaristic regime will take over.

Pot, kettle calling..

21. Kim Jong Il is as much a tyant as George W. Bush is!
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Bush is a laughing stock to the world. No one likes him. Not even his good ole buddy Tony Blair.
