Bush open mic comment shows his command of geography

[yurbud]

I hadn't heard this part of the open mic conversation at the G8 conference, but Bush shows an impressive fourth grade grasp of geography. He notes that China and Russia are big to the president of China, and is so impressed with himself that he repeats it to an aide.

Clinton could have talked about tariffs during the Ming dynasty while getting a blowjob under the table.

The camera is focused elsewhere and it is not clear whom Bush is talking to, but possibly Chinese President Hu Jintao, a guest at the summit.

Bush : Gotta go home. Got something to do tonight. Go to the airport, get on the airplane and go home. How about you? Where are you going? Home?

Bush : This is your neighborhood. It doesn't take you long to get home. How long does it take you to get home?

Reply is inaudible.

Bush : "Eight hours? Me too. Russia's a big country and you're a big country."

At this point, the president seems to bring someone else into the conversation.

Bush : It takes him eight hours to fly home.

He turns his attention to a server.

Bush : No, Diet Coke, Diet Coke.

He turns back to whomever he was talking with.

Bush : It takes him eight hours to fly home. Eight hours. Russia's big and so is China.

1. What an ass. n/t

[panader0]

2. I agree when I was in 4th grade I knew my geography

Nowadays, most folks can't find their ass with both hands.

[yurbud]

3. Bush has servants to find his

[charlie]

4. "This is your neighborhood"

"It doesn't take you long to get home."

St Petersburg is about as close to Beijing as it is to DC. 6 years of on the job training and he still doesn't know where he is. I suppose anywhere outside the Yew-nine-ah States is "your neighborhood" for a furriner.

[jobycom]

5. I saw Dustin Hoffman play him in a movie once. nt

[charlie]

6. Uh-oh. 3 minutes to Wapner.

'Bout a hunnert dollars. Of course, KMart sucks.

Heaven help us!

[w13rd0]

7. Do they have to sedate him when he flies?

I can only imagine they must. My god, he's so fucking stupid...

[BrotherBuzz]

10. I think he flies the Ambien express

A little trick they learned from Colin Powell.

"Yes. Well, I wouldn't call them that," Powell said. "They're a wonderful medication — not medication. How would you call it? They're called Ambien, which is very good. You don't use Ambien? Everybody here uses Ambien."

Jr. puts on his jammies and pops the magic pill, then the crew tucks him in and forgets him until landing time. :shrug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

13. Well, I fly the xanax and wine express on long flights.

I'm ADD and an insomniac. Combining the siting still in a confined, boring space with an inability to sleep and it just sucks. Of course, I'd still probably make a much better president than Bush.

[Whoa_Nelly]

8. "Got something to do tonight."

And just what the fuck did he do right after he came back? What was so important?

Saving blastocysts from terrorist scientists?

He speaks like 16-year old high school dropout punk. :puke:


Leader of the Free World? I think not x(

[skipos]

9. Give him some credit for being right for once. China & Russia ARE big. nt

[Dead_Parrot]

11. lol. True, he's making progress

Give it another 10 years and he'll be a smart as a first-grader

[Art_from_Ark]

12. That ranks right up there with Reagan

making the "observation" that there were "lots of countries" in South America

[yurbud]

24. wasn't he impressed once that there were black people in Africa?

'Just goes to show, if Affercan-Americans put their mind to it, they can do anything, even take over a whole continent like Africa from its original inhabitants whoever they may be.'

[Skinner]

14. Great line

"Clinton could have talked about tariffs during the Ming dynasty while getting a blowjob under the table." LOL

[yurbud]

20. he might have miffed a number at the payoff under the table

'So when the yuan was devalued thir--arhh! huh, huh, huh! aaaaahhhhh!--my bad, it was devalued by twelve percent compared to the Mongolian yurt.'

[ClintonTyree]

15. That's just bush's version of "witty banter".

Party talk, making conversation. No surprise that he fails miserably at that as well as everything else. If he's not talking about clearing brush at his Texas pig farm he's completely out of ideas and says the first thing that pops into his pea-sized brain. He's a crude, ignorant, lazy, boorish, petulant child. And he WON'T go away. That's the worst part of it all. :puke:

[yurbud]

22. crude and boorish would be better than just plain retarded

[LostinVA]

16. OH.MY.GOD.

Seriously -- he sounds like either an idiot, a three-year-old, or someone who's mind is literally half gone....

[yurbud]

19. No, to be half gone it would once have to have been full there

[smacky44]

17. Just imagine what his Republican supporters REALLY say behind

closed doors. They can be very cruel.

[yurbud]

21. the cleatuses or the old money people?

the old money people probably like it just fine--shows he'll never get any wild ideas of his own, and if he does, they'll see them a mile down the road and think circles around them.

The cleatuses would think, 'Russia and China ur big? He musta just being nice cuz everone knowed the United States is the biggest country what ever was.'

[Jacobin]

18. What an insufferable a**

[npincus]

23. Loofahs are big... Falafels are big.....

(any excuse to post this!)

[yurbud]

28. post a blog called BILL O'REILLY fans and have that as only entry

or 'bill o'reilly on family values'

[gatorboy]

25. "I said DIET Coke, servant!"

Jesus, does this guy have to be an ASSHOLE to everybody?

[yurbud]

27. 'and suck all them bubbles out first--they give me gas'

[theHandpuppet]

26. And to think the poor can't go to college without enlisting

Yet this moron got admitted to Harvard and Yale.

[ComerPerro]

29. I can go one better with something I heard in a restraunt

Girlfriend and I were waiting to be seated in our favorite local Mexican restraunt. They have a very large map of Mexic on the wall, with Mexic (naturally) taking up most of the map space.

We heard one guy comment, in genuine shock and with wonder in his voice, "Wow, Mexico is big".


I had to leave the room in order not to get my ass kicked, because I had to laugh out lound and uncontrollably at the sheer stupidity of that statement.

[yurbud]

30. it is pretty big....

but we's bigger

[indie_voter]

31. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. n/t
