Rice At The Piano, Bush With American Idol Singers ...

[JABBS]

Participation in the ASEAN gala dinner is a tradition of sorts (Colin Powell sang a Village People song at the 2004 gala). And part of Bush's job is photo ops with successful sports teams and celebrated Americans.

But shouldn't these less important events be treated as ... less important? We have wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and a crisis in Israel. You have conservative pundits talking about this being the beginning of World War III, while others are suggesting we may need to attack Iran.

1. The world is literally falling apart, much of it because of their doing,

and our leaders play around with photo ops, eat cake, and generally show us what asses they truly are. Whatever happened to decorum? I think it is inappropriate to party hardy while there is so much destruction going on.

If they must do it, it should be done quietly, no press, no big deal. Bush has awful looking yellow teeth. He should avoid smiling whenever possible.

2. Bush doesn't even have to obey the Constitution. He certainly

doesn't have to attend this foolishness.
