Bush sounds mildly retarded in his G8 meeting close.

It's not news, but it's very striking how someone who reads as poorly as he does can sound like he's trying to talk down to his audience, as though it's they who don't understand a word he's reading!

1. Umm.

It's becuase he is. Maybe someone should have got on to him for skipping out on so many of his classes, assuming he even went to school....

[Submariner]

2. Thanks BW.......I tried.....really

but after that first 20 seconds I couldn't stand to hear anymore. I get that 'embarrassed' to be there feeling if you know what I mean.

[BurtWorm]

3. I know what you mean.

I usually can't stand it myself. I need some kind of antidote the Reagan worship and steeping myself in Bush shit seems to be working.

4. I made it through almost to the end....it was painful

couldn't quite get a handle on what was going on; then realized he was clearly ON something, or OFF something he'd been on, like, maybe, Lithium.....my mom was on that for years, and when she stopped, or when it stopped working properly, she'd get antsy, overanimated like dumbo was yesterday.

I'd really like to have a shrink analyze that tape

and he's SUCH a JERK!

such a rude, self-involved JACKass

so much like the boss who inflicts his sense of "humor" on a captive audience

wouldn't it have been great if those hoors had started HISSING at him, instead of laughing at his maximally unfunny attempts at jocosity?

what a sociopathic DICK!

[BurtWorm]

5. Amen!

Amen! Amen!

:toast:

[tritsofme]

6. Mildly?

[DieboldMustDie]

7. Only mildly?

:crazy:

[punpirate]

8. Guess he's been stung by the criticisms...

... of his inability to pronounce "nuclear." No more "noo-cue-ler." It's now "noo-kee-ler."

Can't remember if he saw the "torture memo." Picking up more and more lessons from Reagan as the week goes by.

"Free societies are peaceful societies." What the hell does that make us?

[Occulus]

11. I usually tell people

it's nuclear because it's new and it's clear. They almost always get it right away.

[grasswire]

9. there's a new book coming out...

...called "Bush On the Couch" -- written by a Washington psychoanalyst.

It should be a good read.

10. Hmm...RealPlayer Format

Damn you RealPlayer!

(I'm not a fan)

[Disturbed]

12. I wonder...

what do other world leader think about shrub.
I would be embarassed to claim that I am an American if I traveled
outside of this country. I would get a little sign and pin it on my shirt or jacket of language of any country that I would go to that says: "I didn't vote for George W. Bush."
