Bush Jokes in Spanish: Condoleezza 'Arroz'
By Anadolu News Agency (aa)

Entertaining the Colombian President Alvaro Uribe in his farm in Crawford, Texas, US President George W. Bush adressed the US Secretary of State Condeleezza Rice as Arroz, meaning "rice" in Spanish.

Holding a joint press meeting with Uribe, Bush said 'Condoleezza Arroz' talked about human rights using the Spanish version of Rice's surname.

Bush is not the only president to have played a word game over Rice's name. Formerly, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who is in tense relations with the US, talked about Condoleezza Rice as "Condoleances" meaning "condolences" in French.

5. Um, this is fake.

The spelling errors alone should give it away.

6. Um it's from a Turkish news source

Maybe their translation service is bad? Do you know it didn't happen, I'll certainly delete it.

8. I haven't seen it anywhere else.

Doesn't mean it's not for real, but I think even Turkish news services have people who can translate and spell English correctly.

9. It's not earth shattering news

If it's fake, tough shit, I'll call it even with Bush's WMD lies. :toast:

7. and he's going to the well

(as the stand-up comics say)

From 2000:

"Bush, introduced by Cuba native and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Mel Martinez, joked with the crowd and flirted with his Spanish language skills. He introduced his national security adviser as "Senorita Condoleezza Arroz,'' then added with a chuckle, "that means rice.''

11. it's about all he has....cheap humour.

How about his little comedy skit, as he looked around the Oval Office for WMD's. He looked under his desk, and people were laughing.

Real funny man, here.

Truth is, the joke's on him. We're not laughing with him, we're laughing AT him.

Randi Rhodes played a little sound clip of Bush making a speech. He said, "Now you have to work 4,000 years before you get overtime - er- ah (his coke-addled brain moves slowly) uh -

The crowd starts laughing. The laughter gets louder. Bush starts laughing too. He makes some self-deprecating remark about himself, and the crowd laughs even more.

What can he do? He knows he's an idiot.

10. Now we know his "cute" name for her when they are having.

pillow talk. Funny how he doesn't seem to have any pet names for Pickles, or is it "Lumpy" for "lump in the bed" next to him.
