Bush is like a bad tourist who thinks he's "discovered" everything.

[Atman]

Remember, the man literally -- literally -- never travelled before becoming leader of the free world, except to some donkey-sex tequila benders to Tijuana. He has so little knowledge of the rest of the world, he is acting like a tourist who blows into a new locale and thinks he's the first person to have visited. Thus, his feeling the need to point out how long it takes to fly ("Some of these guys have eight hours to fly home! Russia is big! China is big!"). He's just absolutely, freakin' clueless. He's never been anywhere or seen anything, and he is acting like a child who is on his first trip to Disneyland. It's just all too big for him. He is so far in over his head, joking while spitting soggy bread crumbs at world leaders is about the best he's capable of!

1. I can scarcely believe 30-some percent still support this idiot.

I knew it would be a disaster if he was elected, but our national prestige and influence in the world have plummeted farther than I feared possible.

2. Sad thing is, it will probably further endear him to the really trashy...

...pugnaciously ignorant element that see themselves in him. He's "jus' being plain folks with them fancy-fangled furriners," etc.

3. The Merker massage

and the profanity and talking about the pig over and over and over, is an attempt to bring everyone down to his crude level.They need to tell him to stop going out and just be your self. It is'nt a pretty sight.
