Can you just imagine if Clenis has said "sh*t" at a Summit meeting?
So far this is being played in the MSM as just "candor" from our straight-talking President. Not the crude discourse of an embecile who still has no clue how to act on the world stage.

I actually found the chewing with his mouth open and talking with his mouth full of bread even more offensive. What an oaf.

If that had been Clinton, we'd never have heard the end of it. There'd have been calls for a televised apology, investigations launched, denunications on the floor of the House and the Senate. And you know who'd be stepping up to the mike to preach...

2. It was widely commented that B&H were the first to use the 'f' word...
regularly.

But at least Bubba knew not to use language like that in front of company or when visiting someone else's country. Clinton actually gave a shit. Bush doesn't.

5. That's my only problem with this shitty situation
It showed a lack of professionalism on Shrub's part to say it while visiting a foreign country and knowing very well that mics and cameras were all around.

I don't really give a shit that he said shit. Big deal. He swore. Most of us do. But he should've been more respectful of where he was.

11. Here you go. It's on Crooks & Liars.

It's the fourth or fifth item down. I still don't understand what he means by "... the irony of it ..." Irony of what?

4. Recall when he twisted his knee at Greg Norman's house
It was turned into a scandal w/ news media intimating he was drunk and fell.

Was just reading the old news accounts - during his trip to Australia when he injured his knee, "In the last 48 hours, Mr. Clinton received a standing ovation for his address to Parliament, toured the Sydney Opera House, bought a bush hat and some aboriginal art.."

Can you imagine any respectable country's parliament giving Bush a standing ovation?

Clinton was always well received and greatly admired and respected wherever he went in the world. He always gave us reason to be proud, including this morning when he was interviewed on the news about Bush's current mess in the ME.

8. Buffoon works, too.
I use profanity "liberally". But there's a time and place for such language. I also wonder how the moralizing freepers felt when they found out their dear Christian leader has a potty mouth!

12. well, "undignified" is the kindest thing I can say about
a president using such language to another world leader at an international summit. Really, it is disrespectful and immature- do you think Bill Clinton spoke like that? (rhetorical) B*sh has a shortage of vocabulary and uses "shock speech" to deflect attention from that. Ever notice his over-use of the word "interesting"?

13. "...stepping up to the mike to preach..."...do you mean, LIEBERMAN?
i think chewing with his mouth open (did you notice that even while chewing he does the side to side jaw kick? and talking with a mouth full of bread just goes to show the comfortableness he feels around POODLES. (and what happened to PUTIN who was sitting next to Bush, in one clip I saw, he was still there when POODLES approached BUSHIT BOY, in the next clip, PUTIN was gone and so was everyone else around BUSHIT BOY.

15. I heard a snip on either CNN or MSNBC this morning. The lead in
stated that one would think that * was used to being around open mic's at meetings etc. But apparently not, cause...and then went into the story and played what he said.
