This shows the intelligence of America, or idiotic leader. Next time we shouldn’t judge on affair of the profile a person represents but his intelligence. Vote OBAMA regardless if you like him or not, MCCAIN is really another Bush. Obama can represent America as whole since he, himself is a melting pot, and he actually has a brain.

Remember when “crap” was a cuss word? Now it’s not just OK for prime-time TV, it’s a regular line on some of the best shows, like “Everybody Loves Raymond.” As with any word, overuse and misuse are generally the problem, fer crap sakes.

I cannot believe this is who is leading us.  For all of you that voted for this man, do you finally get it?  How the hell did this happen?  Why is it that the media doesn’t do a story on how embarrassing it is to call him our leader.  Is everyone just not trying to point out the obvious or are we all just completely stupid?  Bush has no respect and does not even pretend to have class.  God help us all.

I’m a writer. I writhe, revel and bathe in words. I love them. I use them all. I don’t think there’s any such thing as a bad word. Sometimes civil language simply doesn’t make the point. My use—or the president’s use—of a colorful word or phrase isn’t always evidence of ignorance or an underdeveloped vocabulary; it often means I’ve chosen a word for its precise meaning and effect. Profanity often allows for a much more passionate expression. A cuss word is like a verbal exclamation point.

So the president said “shit.” Get over it, dammit.

Well, if you ARE a writer, perhaps you should consider the context in which words are offered and how they are offered. Bush could have started by standing up to greet Blair, stopped stuffing his face with food, talked without a mouth full of food, and otherwise exhibited common courtesy! We do not need a man devoid of these common traits as a leader for this great nation. Of course, I guess you will also be prepared to justify, with words as you are a writer, that “unsolicited massage” of Ms. Merkal? Should we also get over that “dammit?”

I was glad to see that Bush put the blame where it belong , with the morons in Syria and Iran .

What a revealing insight into GWB’s little mind. Not only did he interrupt Blair, and spit back useless one work answers, but he failed to offer one cent of evidence demonstrating his understanding of the conflict.

This most recent conflict between Israel and the Palestinians/Lebanese cannot be addressed as if its an isolated and insular occasion. The violence stems from decades of wrongs and misdeeds by both parties.

No one can just pick up the phone and make this stop….Kofi, the President of Syria, or even Iran. Hezbollah might accept support from Syria and Iran, but it has its own mission and ideology, and a quick ring on Hezbollah’s leader’s cell phone wont solve anything.

The UN peacekeeping force that is in place now is a joke!!! and Kofi and Blair are jokes to consider sending another new batch of Nepalese army soldiers to walk along the border in blue helmates.

Can’t we impeach this SOB?

I wonder how many high school seniors were thinking “Hey! That is just what I was saying in my civics class!”

This isn’t the first time Isral has done things like this, and it probably won’t be the last time.

It wasn’t to long ago they were in Palestine doing similar things.

They will go in take out their targets, kill the leadership and make a buffer zone.

Gas will go up to $4.00 a gallon, congress will go crazy, and demand Israel withdraw or face a loss of aid, then Israel will withdraw.

But we’ll all be stuck with $4.00 a gallon gas, that won’t go back down.

Peace is not going to come out of a barrel of a gun, only through negotiation.

What was REALLY pathetic was the way Tony Blair was sucking up to Bush while the moron chewed in his face like a cow.  Poor Tony looked just like the little lapdog he is, begging daddy to throw him a bone.

Well folks, I’m back after a short hiatus, and to my dismay,  it’s confirmed,  GW is actually in charge.  I always hoped he was just a figurehead,  but no,  he’s actually the MAN.  I had always hoped that Blair, was quietly leading the free world, or at least provided some guidance,  but nope, he’s just what Jay and Dave jokingly said,  He’s just GW’s lapdog, and it looks like instead of a bulldog (think the Union Jack,  British Bulldog),  he’s just a little whimpering Chiwawa, with no conjunas. 

Think I’m exagerrating?  Look at the transcript from the overhead conversation at the G8 summit.  A Leader?  don’t think so.  He sounds like a little scared kid asking for permission from the bully on the block to go home.  What’s worse, is that I think he actually had a point in that his impact on the middle east crisis, soon to be WWIII,  would have been less of an agitation and more likely to achieve the desired results, that sending Condi, which has to be a homerun.  The problem now is,  the cat’s out of the bag.  Condi’s walking into a hornets nest, and as usual,  good ol’ GW has stirred up the wasps yet again.  It must be great working for this guy. 

I agree with the comments that it’s good to have someone that isn’t afraid to speak his mind, nor is willing to compromise values,  but as the president, he is the ultimate representative of the United States of America.  His demonstrated lack of understanding of international diplomacy, or affairs will haunt not only this generation, but many generations to come.  GOD help us all.  The good news is that we wont have to worry about good ol GW being called upon in the future for any diplomatic missions.  Hopefully,  this will be the end of the Bush era.

Chris, I would have to whole-heartedly agree with your comment about the president of the good ole u-s-a. Except that, you could in no way polish “Abnormally thin watery feces=Diarrhea” as that of which constantly discharges from the mouth of bush.

“The President of the United States of America, stuffing his face, talking with his mouth full, spouting off as usual, without having a clue, for the whole world to see.  God, help us, we are so in trouble.”

At the opposite end of the CLASS spectrum… can you even IMAGINE Queen Elizabeth doing anything remotely similar?

Two heads of state… one the consummate professional, consistently a first class representative of her people for over 50 years, and the other, the most consistently incompetent embarrassment ever to live in the White House. THANK GOD he can’t live there more than 8 years!

Who is the “they” he’s talking about?  This is the exact question Blair was asking, and I’m not convinced he got an answer.  *Syria* needs to get Syria to get Hezbollah to do something?  Huh?

The president’s lack of sophistication is revealed occasionally in his verbal gaffes.  “Misunderestimate” and “NOO-kyuh-lur” are either intentionally provocative ironies—which I doubt and which is rarely conjectured, even by his supporters—or glimpses of an unpolished turd, to paraphrase an earlier writer.

The President of the United States of America, stuffing his face,  talking with his mouth full, spouting off as usual, without having a clue, for the whole world to see.  God, help us, we are so in trouble.

Isn’t this the second time Bush and an open mic have had a run in? I wasn’t really surprised by his remarks and it just demonstrates how poorly educated he is in global affairs considering he is a Yale alumnus. Goes to show that sometimes one can’t polish a turd.

He was dead on right with his comments.

All of you need to grow up. 

Kofi is deer in the headlights and Syria and Iran are driving this whole thing. Israel just knows the better that if you take this crap for too long, they will just get worse.

An open mike at a G8 Summit luncheon caught President Bush peppering his conversation with some salty language, suggesting that the mess in the Middle East is getting poopy.

“See the irony is that what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it’s over,” Bush told British PM Tony Blair as he chomped on a roll.

Of course, the news media is all over Bush’s language, sorta like your little sister when she tattles, “Mommy, Ronnie said the F-word!”

Personally, I’m glad the president—in his language anyway—proves not to be the stodgy, prudish Baptist prig that he wants the Moral Majority to think he is. In private, most of us use profane language that we’d would never use in a major speech at the Tuesday Rotary meeting, much less the State of the Union address. I confess to using much stronger language regarding Hezbollah than “shit” ... and they are usually deliciously compound profanities, blending juicier and poly-syllabic obscenities. I am able to turn the air around me an acidic blue. It’s a gift.

Without a doubt, the Radical Left will act horrified and say it proves our Republican president is unstatesmanlike, even though you gotta believe that President Clinton probably didn’t get Oval Office, um, perks without expressing a few comely expletives. And then there’s Harry Truman ... a Democrat to whom, ironically, George W. Bush often compares himself. But most of my Leftist friends have been complaining for years that “Bush never says shit.” Now he has.

And the Radical Right, especially in the Bible Belt, will probably find some passage in the Bible where Jesus warned that “thou shalt not speak with a potty mouth” or somesuch.

Remember when “crap” was a cuss word? Now it’s not just OK for prime-time TV, it’s a regular line on some of the best shows, like “Everybody Loves Raymond.” As with any word, overuse and misuse are generally the problem, fer crap sakes.

Now, I’m not for a cultural Tourette’s Syndrome, where vile words spill out freely at the most inappropriate times, like my annual job review. I’ve sometimes blurted out some blistering epithets, and I’ve generally had the good grace to know I fu ... messed up. The trick is knowing exactly when to drop the F-bomb, or the MF-Scud, or the CS-Katyusha to hit the target precisely.

I’m a writer. I writhe, revel and bathe in words. I love them. I use them all. I don’t think there’s any such thing as a bad word. Sometimes civil language simply doesn’t make the point. My use—or the president’s use—of a colorful word or phrase isn’t always evidence of ignorance or an underdeveloped vocabulary; it often means I’ve chosen a word for its precise meaning and effect. Profanity often allows for a much more passionate expression. A cuss word is like a verbal exclamation point.

So the president said “shit.” Get over it, dammit.

Does Bush really imagine that Syria or anyone else can just make a phone call and that’s that?

And he can’t even remember which Axis of Evil country he’s supposed to falsely blame this problem on. Not even the wildest neocons claim that SYRIA controls Hezbollah.

“Syria, Iran—what’s the diff?” What a complete cretin he is.

And after the camaras were turned off, he hurled all over the Prime Minister of Japan….
