Russian News: Bush Has Sydney In Stitches
SYDNEY, September 7 (RIA Novosti) - With President George W. Bush's final term set to expire in 16 months, the U.S. leader seems to have used his recent visit to Sydney for an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit as an opportunity to hone his talents in other fields.

--
The ongoing Sydney APEC talks saw the man who once said "My pro-life position is I believe there's life," and "I believe that the human being and the fish can peacefully co-exist," refer to APEC as OPEC, and to the Australian prime minister's visit to 'Austrian' troops in Iraq.

He also sauntered up to Condoleezza Rice at a state banquet to enquire of the U.S. Secretary of State "So, you gonna be my girl?" and wandered off-stage after his opening comments at the APEC forum in entirely the wrong direction.

Although the widely-reported 2004 story that Bush's I.Q. was the lowest of any U.S. president in history turned out to be an unproven rumor, it is understandable that in such desperate times many people feel nervous about a man able to confuse such elementary facts as the names of countries and regions.

--
Feel better now?

2. "So, you gonna be my girl? Laura must be ready to ditch his sorry ass.
I wonder what would have happened if he fell off of the stage?

This is all simailar to the Chinese and/or Mongolian wrong door incident and the unfortunate Merkel neck massage. He must be drinking heavily.

14. Just the wearing of cowboy boots, seal or no seal, with a tuxedo should
mark him out as the most egregious shitheaded ass-clown ever born... :eyes:

11. Nope
This is what happens when you put a little weasel in a position where there are no consequences. He's having a grand old time! I'm surprised he's not kissing the other male heads of state.

9. No, he's capable of massively disrespecting women cold sober.
I remember the videos of him patting his wife on the ass leaving the podium, and the Letterman producer who was bending over Letterman's desk talking to him when George lean over and used the back of the jacket ON HER BACK to clean his glasses.

10. And to think this pathetic bungler is the 'leader' of the 'free' world.........
and makes the decision on whether or not to push 'the button'.

13. That's not the scariest part
I can accept that there was a coup and he is the figurehead they choose...but dammit! Why are there people that WANT him to be our leader?!

16. There can be ONLY one answer.
There are people that support HIM that are actually dumber than HE is and equally or more greedy.

22. That's a scary thought
29% of America is following him around, hoping to lap up some of the blood he misses?

That would explain a LOT.

:scared:

18. Ya Know, Every Time I See Him Speak At One Of These Things I Feel Like There Should Be A Moment At
the end where he looks directly at the camera and shouts "Live from New York, it's Saturday Nightttttt!!!!!!" (cue music).

He's a walking friggin SNL skit.

19. Ever hear the song "Hands Held High" by Linkin Park?
For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay

And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
In their living room laughing like "what did he say?"

21. The sad thing is, Bushboy isn't trying to be a comedian, he's trying to play it straight and serious
Yet this is the best he can do, become a laughingstock. I'll be so happy when he's gone.

23. I am fucking humiliated. That the whole world is
laughing at us makes me want to crawl into a hole. Or at least pretend to be Canadian.

Help me learn some Canadian slang please.
