Bush Down Under-"In fact, the President resembled more a comedian than a commander-in-chief."
By Joe Hildebrand
September 07, 2007 04:00am Australia

GEORGE W.Bush is the kind of guy you can't help but like, and not just because he has a nice car. The US President visited Sydney with the sort of security detail the Germans took with them when they visited Poland in 1939.

.........................

And what was this deity doing? He was contemplating steakburgers and mountain bike riding and bringing freedom to murderous regimes in the Middle East. He seemed like a fun guy.

... "I'm looking forward to you buying me lunch today. I'm a meat guy."

n fact, the President resembled more a comedian than a commander-in-chief. Virtually everything he said ended with a punchline, even if that punchline was rarely grammatically correct.

2. My, aren't we proud...
:sarcasm:

That was scathing, but in such a way (more British than Aussie to me, at least), that reading it, would go right over the heads of Bush*, certainly and most of the irony-impaired RW. :eyes:

4. One of those lame comedians who bomb on every joke and is excruciatingly painful to watch.

8. When an normal person acts like a bumbling fool, he's a comedian.
When a mass murderer does so, it's not funny - it's just twisted & sick.
