You know what I love about the "Abu Giraffe" video?
That moment where Bush shakes his head, briefly acknowledging that not even HE can believe he actually said "Abu Guhraif".

Or at least it's funny to me.

3. As Stewart said,
it just proves Bush doesn't care enough to learn the names of those foreign places. He just doesn't care.

4. I know, you could almost hear him saying 'oh fuck' in his mind
It's like he had to bite his tongue not to say what he was thinking.

It was weird because for a second there he looked like he was going to blow his stack, like "Goddammit, who fed me that line wrong". But then it was almost like he wanted to laugh at his own stupidity...like in those TV blooper shows where the actor keeps blowing his lines.

All in all, it was a scarily candid moment and I really do think the man is close to losing it in front of the media.

5. scandal?
I personally think that he almost slipped and said "scandal" and was searching for an alternate word, finally choosing "situation."

And good grief, why does he always lean in when he is speaking? Is it more for intimidation or so we'll think he's being serious?

6. Yes!
You could see that thought shoot across his face! I'm sure he was remembering that interview he did where he mispronounced it three times and took a rash of shit for it. :)

He made me smile!
