BOAO, China (AP) — Former President George W. Bush cracked jokes about how he scoops up after his dog on neighborhood walks and then turned to more serious subjects like terrorism and the financial crisis Saturday during his first overseas trip since leaving office.

Bush — in China for the Boao Forum — also shared some of his most unusual moments with leaders, including the time he listened to former Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi sing "Hound Dog" while visiting Graceland mansion, home to the late Elvis Presley in Memphis, Tennessee.

The stories drew laughter and applause from the audience in a huge banquet hall at the forum, an annual conference where executives hobnob with global leaders at a resort on China's southern tropical island province of Hainan. Security was tight and there were no protests.

Bush said after he left the White House and moved into his new home in Dallas, Texas, he decided to take his Scottish terrier Barney for a walk. To be a good neighbor, he said he carried a plastic bag so he could clean up his dog's droppings. The task seemed ironic to him, he said.

"I was picking up what I had been dodging for eight years," Bush said.

1. Stay classy, idiot son. Interesting he admitted what he'd been

dodging for years instead of trying to solve anything. Or should I say 'typical'.

[malaise]

3. Inversion of reality as usual

He was flinging the shit.

[Deja Q]

2. You mean, he's saying people were flinging feces at him like how they were with shoes?

:applause:

Shame they missed... for one thing, feces isn't as hard and is less likely to break through a window than a show... never mind his face could do with some improvement; having Barney-poo over his face would be a big plus.

[skooooo]

4. Can't blame a man for concentrating on one of his few talents. nt

[louis-t]

5. The giggling jackass.

[xxqqqzme]

6. This man is totally devoid of social graces.

He's out of office and still manages to be an embarrassment.

Or is he a super-duper-pooper-scooper?

[skooooo]

10. lol..he probably just leaves it.

He's lying about this too.

[lunatica]

14. yeah, and just lets someone else clean it up as usual

Still true to form no doubt.

11. WTF is he doing there and who's paying for it? n/t

[roamer65]

$200k or so year, if I am correct.

The fucker should be in the Hague for war crimes.

[alsame]

13. Yeah, but I doubt he's spending any of his own $. And I don't like

the idea of him talking to other countries.
