Bush Uncensored: President Uses Expletive During Chat At G8 Summit
Bush Uncensored: President Uses Expletive During Chat At G8 Summit
Yesterday during the closing lunch at the G8 summit, a stray microphone picked up a private conversation between President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Bush is seen munching on a buttered roll and using an expletive to express frustration with Hezbollah. Watch it:
SkyNews has a full transcript. Bush was caught on tape on several other occasions:
In another segment in which the president was apparently speaking to an aide who asked about his plan for upcoming remarks, Mr. Bush said, “I’m just going to make it up, right here — I’m not going to talk too damn long like the rest of them.†[…]
At another moment, Mr. Bush was clearly itching to return to the White House, saying to someone, “Good job, gotta keep this thing moving — I gotta’ leave at 2:15 — you’ll want me out of town so to free up your security forces.’’ .
“Gotta go home. Got something to do tonight,†Mr. Bush said, then, apparently turning to Mr. Hu, adding, “How about you? When are you going home?â€

July 17th, 2006 at 11:01 amwell, you gotta give him credit for not telling Putin “GO F*CK YOUSELF“, but I’m sure darth Cheney would have, had he accompanied Bush on this trip.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:03 amthe Cussing Cowboy. blimey that man got no manners!
July 17th, 2006 at 11:05 amI would love to be a fly on the wall of other world leaders when they go home and talk about Bushie. Now that would be some entertainment……in a sad “oh my god he’s talking about our president” way.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:05 amBush’s quote is “Today’s Mantra.”
This is even more embarrassing than the end of the Bush-Putin romance.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:06 amOh scandal.
The President speaks informally? NO WAY!
The other comments, reported by the Times but suspiciously absent here, reveals the President’s aversion to interfering. Quite the contrary: he wants Syria to step in and stop Hezbollah. And he want the UN to press for that.
But scandal-of-scandals: the President said “shit”.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:08 amHe’s got a ways to go before he catches up with Lyndon Johnson. That man could cuss a blue streak.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:08 amI’m so pissed that this idiot is representing me. No wonder people think Americans are idiots.
However, I wonder how FAUX NEWS would spin this.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:10 amDamn liberal media. Someone should go to jail for releasing this. This was a state secret. Now the peace process that Bushie has been working on has been destroyed. It’s all the medias fault!!! There that covered it, huh, trolls?
July 17th, 2006 at 11:11 amHehehe..I gotta go home and eat the Pig. How about you?
July 17th, 2006 at 11:14 amIt wasn’t so much Bush’s language as his body language that was disappointing. The guy chomps down on his food like a steer out to pasture and he anchored himself to his chair expecting other leaders to come to him. Bush is like Tony Soprano, except better funded and armed.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:15 amSo the truth comes out: The G8 is as banal a gathering as an Amway ice-breaker for new “associates” at the Ramada Inn.
Gives me the same feeling I had when I saw “Star Wars: Episode 1″ and realized that the “Jedi Council” convenes its meetings in some sort of futuristic airport courtesy lounge with nothing but molded plastic chairs. Not even a tray of chips and guacamole. Sad.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:15 amSo was this broadcast on TV? I wonder what the FCC fine would be for presidential s-bombs?
July 17th, 2006 at 11:17 amBush and Blair sound like Gen. Jack D. Ripper and Group Captain Lionel Mandrake.

July 17th, 2006 at 11:20 amThis is the kind of stuff that makes me cringe, whenever Bush isn’t reading from the script he really debases the office of POTUS.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:20 amI haven’t watched the video but can someone tell me who else was at the kiddie table with Bush?
July 17th, 2006 at 11:21 amThe fact that he was chewing loudly with his mouth open and smacking his lips like some ten year old.
Prodi, the Italian prime minister said he didn’t talk to Bush about the CIA renditions and the possible invlolvment of the Italian agency SISMI because he was afraid Bush didn’t know what “SISMI” meant.
I love how the wingers, including the President of the US who was reportedly the only world leader so excited about the golf carts that he drove, instead of having a drive, I love the wingers and Republicans now are looking to the UN to do something? What? Shouldn’t the US be the worlds leader? Why sit on our hands and wait for action from Kofi Annann and Libya?

Yeah, I have to agree. I mean it’s not like he committed some egregious world threatening act, like lying about receiving a blow-job, or something like that.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:24 amThe funniest thing about it is that it sounds like he’s using one of his big words - “irony” - for his smart buddy Tony Blair, even though [Bush] doesn’t really understand what it means.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:25 amThe real irony is that Bush doesn’t comprehend that Syria supports the shit Hezbollah is doing.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:27 amBush is most likely drinking again and his verbal exchange with Blair proves it! Dubya is unfit to remain as the president of the United States, so he must resign ASAP, or be impeached!
July 17th, 2006 at 11:30 amAhhh the conservative godhead.

July 17th, 2006 at 11:31 amHeck of a job, Bushie.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:32 amErrr, shit for brains.
Gee, what a nice Christian man…
July 17th, 2006 at 11:33 amOh! So I guess nobody ever came up with the idea that they need to get Syria to get Hezbolla to stop doing these things. Well, good thing BUsh is there to point that out. I mean, it is such a brilliant and original idea on his part that I don’t get why he’s whispering it to someone instead of standing up and suggesting it out loud! Hell, he should hold a press conference and reveal this amazing plan to the world.
After all, now that the press is so tightly kept on a leash, I doubt they would ask the obvious question: “and how do we do that exactly?”
At least I hope they don’t ask that because then Bush’s amazing plan will simply crumble under the bias of reality. It would be just like the liberal press and their Bush hatred to do everythign they can to destroy his divine and infallible plan so they can help Hezbolla.
/sarcasm. Bush is so stupid I don’t even know how he gets through the day. This comment of his is so unbelievably ignorant that it is even dumber than attacking Iraq to stop terrorism and stop Bin Laden. This is even dumber than protecting Social Security by eliminating it. We’re all screwed.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:33 am#21 - “Prodi, the Italian prime minister said he didn’t talk to Bush about the CIA renditions and the possible invlolvment of the Italian agency SISMI because he was afraid Bush didn’t know what “SISMI†meant.”
News to me. Got a source for this? Or is it made up. (I’ll put a 5 chip on the latter.)
“I love the wingers and Republicans now are looking to the UN to do something? What? Shouldn’t the US be the worlds leader? Why sit on our hands and wait for action from Kofi Annann and Libya?”
Well which way do you want it? No matter what the administration does, in your eyes, they are wrong. If they act unilaterally, they are tyrannts, ignoring the rest of the world; if they say “let’s go for UN action on this”, they are ’sitting on their hands’ in a weak position.
#22 - “Yeah, I have to agree. I mean it’s not like he committed some egregious world threatening act, like lying about receiving a blow-job, or something like that.”
You brought it up not me. While you mention it - talk about giving up ‘moral authority’ - being a serial philanderer, a prolific adulterer and a many-time-accused sexual harrasser sure looked good in the eyes the world.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:34 am“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people.

July 17th, 2006 at 11:34 amDont believe it, another Rovian trick to divert attention
July 17th, 2006 at 11:37 amfrom Bushs’ lack ofit . This administration wants nothing more
than a full scale war to justify the bombing of Iran and
Syria, expansion of the global war ‘of’ terror.
Obviously, Bush doesn’t see this as WWIII. He thinks Assad just needs to push a button and turn off Hezbollah, “and it’s over.” I think a lot of war-monger wingnuts are going to be very disappointed.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:37 amYes, his words speak for themselves, alright.

Yeah but that character flaw isn’t a threat to world stability and security, I would be willing to bet that a lot of leaders in the world have the same problem, maybe not to the degree that Clinton has but they cheat on their wives. Thinking otherwise is pretty naive.

Why is CNN’s headline “Bush uses Expletive…”? Who gives a shit that he said “shit”? The headline should read, “Bush believes Isreal justified in killing innocent civilians and destroying valuable infrastructure in democratic Lebannon and blames Syria without any proof.”

I’m sure that quality was not unique to Clinton (hell, need look no further than our own former President Kennedy who set the previous high-water mark for adultery). What is unique is the awesome degree of indescretion President Clinton had and his seeming inability to “keep it in his pants”. But I digress, I don’t want to debate Clinton.
What about President Bush’s remarks reveal his “world threatening” “character flaw”? I might have missed that.

No, dude.
They’re sitting on their hands and “going for UN action on this” because they’ve put themselves in a weak position.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:52 amI’m outraged that the president’s potty mouth aired on CNN. I think we must all complain to the FCC. They won’t fine Dubya, but perhaps they’ll fine CNN and they will think twice before airing Bush live again.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:52 amChase, Here’s the link to the story that you in your rightwing fantasy land imagined that I had made up.
Here’s the lede:
“Italy On Line
Special service by AGI on behalf of the Italian Prime Minister’s office
ABU OMAR: PRODI, SISMI? BUSH DOEA NOT KNOW THIS ACRONYM
(AGI) - Saint Petersburg, Jul. 15 - “I don’t think Bush knows the acronym Sismi (Italian secret service)” prime minister Romano Prodi told journalists in Saint Petersburg today who asked him if he hinted to the inquiry on the kidnapping of former Milan imam Abu Omar in the talks with Bush.”

July 17th, 2006 at 11:55 amThis TP thread most likely will be the winner today of the most posts! Now that Bush said “Sh-t” on tape, we just need him to couple that with his use of the middle finger, and spitting a big wad of lugy at a reporter > lol.

July 17th, 2006 at 11:58 amHmmm lets compare the impact of Clinton and his supposed serial philandering with the impact of Bush and his serial stupidity on global stability. Is there anything that this group of “adults” has touched that has not turned into a complete policy nightmare? When in doubt blame it on Clinton and his philandering ways…at what point will the responsibility party actually take responsibility for anything? Better hunker down for a long wait.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:59 amI bet the Secret Service brought along Bush’s porta potty to collect his bodily functions since he is afraid the Russians might get ahold of his fluids and find out he has Herpes or something > lol.
July 17th, 2006 at 11:59 amAnyone who still believes that the republican party is the party of morality has no clue as to what the word means.
Republican = total lack of morals
July 17th, 2006 at 12:00 pm#45
it’ part of the ’secret society’. until now, this was such a hush, hush deal. kathy griggs a widow, of a captain that died mysteriously and the gov. deemed a ’suicide’, read his diary and found all kinds of demented crap. i have a video, 3-part, detailing the secrets of the gov. and military with ‘boy parties’ for blackmail. and talking about the kissinger fiasco. i’m not pc savvy and am trying to figure out how to put it on the pc to copy and paste or send to folks. as soon as i do i’ll get it out there.
July 17th, 2006 at 12:03 pmOkay, so the Kid he Swears a Little Bit (By Kevin Bloody Wilson) has to be Bush’s themesong.
July 17th, 2006 at 12:03 pm#43 - So what should we do now? Seek UN assistance to pressure Syria or go it alone and help Israel repel the terrorists?
#46 - That’s pretty funny.
#45 - Impressive list. The only problem is I was talking about the indiscretion of sitting presidents (I notice Dr. Laura and Joe Scarborough make the list - not exactly the same caliber as former President Clinton, now are they?)
But if your point was that “Republicans can be swayed by carnal pleasures”, it’s made. It was made.
I think you just wanted a reason to cut and paste that nice list you found. ;-)
July 17th, 2006 at 12:04 pmBush’s arrogance is palpable in that clip. He has all the body language of the dominant monkey while he lectures the far smarter (yet still odious) Blair. He’s the boss telling his underling how it really is.
In reality, the drugstore cowboy knows jack shit about what he’s doing.

I was just pointing out faltering morals aren’t a purely Republican quality. But no reason to dwell on this, there are more fun things to talk about…
like what exactly did President Bush say that was wrong? That Syria should step in, exert influence to stop Hezbollah. Bush knows that as soon as Hezbollah stops firing missiles and releases the kidnapped troops, Israel returns to normal and life goes on.

Split hairs all you like, but the point is made all the same.

July 17th, 2006 at 12:21 pmYes using foul language is not a big deal but on the other hand if you’re a President who says he is a Jesus Warrior and is a defender of moral values, His actions make him look like a hypocrite………
July 17th, 2006 at 12:22 pmNo. You are still flogging Bill Clinton’s cock after about ten years. You wingers love to shove liberals face in shit every chance you get. 30 Years on and I still hear Chappaquiddick jokes from wingers who were saying: “Enough with the Deadeye Dick Cheney shooting a 78 year old man in the face with a ritzy $23,000.00 Italian shotgun, that is OLD news.”

July 17th, 2006 at 12:26 pm“Hey Tony , ever stick a firecracker up a frogs anus?…. heh heh heh… talk about some funny shit.”
July 17th, 2006 at 12:26 pm#63: As you can plainly see from the headline, the main objection to the original piece is Bush’s use of profanity when he knew he was on videotape. Not the end of the world, but it was a lapse in judgment.
Of course, the more important and more disturbing issue is the erosion of the U.S.’s moral authority in the world after the invasion of Iraq. (You and I apparently disagree; I think the invasion of Iraq under false pretenses is more destructive to our national credibility than receiving a blowjob in the Oval Office.) We’re now counting on Syria to lead the Middle East to peace? That seems like a pretty unlikely scenario, wouldn’t you think?
July 17th, 2006 at 12:27 pmBush: “See, the irony is what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it’s over.” - - Presto…NOBEL PEACE PRIZE!!!!
July 17th, 2006 at 12:31 pm#70 - First, again, I didn’t bring up Clinton - JPV (@d22) did. I responded. Enough.
Second, I haven’t mentioned Chappaquiddick on TP, but it is a somewhat serious event. The VP Cheney event was almost as serious (almost, not quite, but almost). So I recommend you not lump me in with the “wingers” you mention.
Actually, if you quote something like that again without citation, I’ll ask for a source. I would expect the same.
July 17th, 2006 at 12:32 pmThese conservative Bush defenders never fail to amuse me. In one breath they feign bemusement that we would expect Bush to be anything but an ordinary guy… “The President speaks informally? NO WAY!â€. Yet they are the first to demand we not disrespect the Office of the President. Bush does a far better job of that with every breath he takes. What hypocrites… if Bush we a true man, he would be himself all the time. Why the charade, unless he knows that “common language†is unbecoming a president (in public or private). Just a rich, spoiled, frat boy who by cheating has become the worst president this world has ever seen (and hopefully ever will). How embarrassing…
July 17th, 2006 at 12:34 pm#73 - Fair enough. I would say I don’t agree that the reasons for invading Iraq were false. At the same time, I don’t think President Clinton’s moral turpitude serverly damaged our credibility or authority to the greater world (I think the harm was more domestic, but that’s another debate for another time).
I don’t think Syria is likely to heed any UN directives, particularly as they are more-or-less an Iranian protectorate (and we all know Iran’s respect of UN resolutions).
July 17th, 2006 at 12:38 pmWhere has all the exitement gone, when Syria (finally) pulled out of Lebanon?
The lebanese carry some burden of responsibility. If I let my backyard be used to throw rocks at a neighbor I carry some blame at least. However to deflect the blame I will have to side with my agrieved neighbor. I. E. the lebanese will either have to stop wailing or support Israel in stopping the launching of rockets and assaults across their mutual border.
At this point the israelis born and living in Israel have as much claim to the land, as their ancestors should have had to their property in Yemen, Iraq, Iran etc. etc. Or does no one have any legal claims by birth right in the Middle East?
Come to think of it, the neo-cons want to change the rules in the US also…
July 17th, 2006 at 12:38 pm[…] Let’s give a big round of applause as the leader of the free world talks with his mouth full and says completely idiotic shit that would be embarassing coming from a 14 year old of average intelligence. Yesterday during the closing lunch at the G8 summit, a stray microphone picked up a private conversation between President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Bush is seen munching on a buttered roll and using an expletive to express frustration with Hezbollah. […]

Well, yeah. Like the guys down at the bar when they feel like mouthing off. But for junior, it is due to his IQ of 91, which places him in the bottom third of the American population. I mean, stuttering and stammering and cussing, he’s frigging lost without a speech to read from.

July 17th, 2006 at 12:49 pm#86 - I would say deposing Saddam and forclosing his opporuity to further develop and, at some time, use WMDs was enough. But that’s how I feel.

July 17th, 2006 at 12:56 pm#90: And you’re aware that there were no WMD’s, right? It’s pretty hard to “further develop” something you weren’t developing.
That’s a pretty shaky justification for taking the country to war, thus “foreclosing” the lives of 2500 U.S. soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians, and severely undermining the ability of the United States to deal effectively with real threats around the world.

it is a shame that they preach principals they believe good… and fall short in life… it doesn’t mean the principal wrong… in the end they pay the penalty for hurting others and themselves….
but to tell groups and individuals that private enterprise is bad…. or marriage is bad… or saying you hate a company and own stock yourself… meanwhile they themselves are benefitting personally from those things… that is hypocracy to me.
July 17th, 2006 at 12:57 pmThe comment by Bush (to Blair) about the Syrians just shows he is just a stooge of the NeoCons. This guy is likely to get us into a war with Syria and Iran. We’re screwed!
July 17th, 2006 at 12:59 pm#92 - I think the evidence is clear he sought nuclear capabilities and had, from time to time, chemical and biological weapons (his use of them against his own population is proof enough for me).
In any event, I don’t feel we prosecuted the war correctly. We went in with 1/3 the number of troops we should have and we had no actionalble plan for the post-military victory period. However, I don’t think we actually undermined our ability to face other threats - I think we are shaken domestically, that is, state-side we think we lack credibility.
We act as though we are, all the sudden, less of the global hegemon we were before April 2003. We are still the world’s only superpower and we need to remember that.
I’m sure, Jim, you don’t agree with this. In fact, you probably strongly disagree with most of it.
July 17th, 2006 at 1:03 pmBush ran on family values and morals and now we see just what that means. I know the Red states that pushed for religious values and Bush being born again are proud that Bush has shown us what we should try to be. We can curse and get born again yet say I’m following God’s word and yes the ( no left behind) Americans will follow. Bush is showing the world just what being an American means and of course our democracy and moral/religious values. Our President represents lying, stealing, torture and cursing. Maybe he wanted to get home so he could get a large drink and shag Connie Rice.

July 17th, 2006 at 1:05 pmWhat????
Why is “pressure Israel to chillout with the amplified use of force” not an option?
Do you think it’s ok that Israel blows up whatever they want in Lebanon and kills innocent civilians while they’re doing it? Do you think the killing of innocent civilians is bringing about peace in the Middle East?
July 17th, 2006 at 1:06 pm#98 - “Why is “pressure Israel to chillout with the amplified use of force†not an option?”
Because I don’t think this would end the attacks of Hezbollah. I think Israel will pull back as soon as Hezbollah announces it will stop firing unguided missiles into civilian areas (at the very least, Israeli rockets are guided and typically hit what they are aimed at).
No to both. However, I think their response is justified. Israel did not start this. Israel tries to minimize civilian deaths while Hezbollah has no other goal than civilian death. There is a distinction.
July 17th, 2006 at 1:10 pmThat’s classic. Especially the reference to the IQ of 91. You wouldn’t have, perhaps, gotten that figure from this hoax, would you?
Comment by Chase
Well, partially. Actually no score on his IQ exists—kind of like his incomplete National Guard records of his attendence. I also partially base my thoughts on his severely limited intellectual limitations and cognitive capacity.
You know, Chase, the New York Times pondered in a front-page article on June 19, 2000, “is he smart enough to be president?”
I think that question has finally been answered for the benefit of the American people.
To put it bluntly, the president is a dud. Aubrey Immelman, a political psychologist said in January 2001 that he need not be the sharpest tool in the shed. Immelman noted that the real test for [Bush] will be whether he possesses the emotional intelligence — the triumph of reason over rigidity and restraint over impulse — to steer the course.
I think that question has also been answered for the benefit of the American people, don’t you?
July 17th, 2006 at 1:11 pm#100 - I’m not making an judgment of his intelligence. I don’t know a reliable way to judge something like that.
I would say the figure you quoted was based solely upon a hoax, and a bad one at that.
Will you admit the 91 IQ was part of a hoax which you tired to pass off as fact?
July 17th, 2006 at 1:13 pmPossibly because the U.S. is supporting Israel’s indiscriminate killing
July 17th, 2006 at 1:14 pmFolks, you need to ignore “Chase”. He is a paid shill whose sole purpose is to derail any substantive discussion.
July 17th, 2006 at 1:19 pm#103 - Damn I wish I was paid to do this.
I’m all about substantive discussion. Really. We probably won’t agree on much, but I promise to keep it as civil as possible.
So ignore Disputo, not me!
July 17th, 2006 at 1:21 pmThis was staged…………….
July 17th, 2006 at 1:21 pmWill you admit the 91 IQ was part of a hoax which you tired to pass off as fact?
Comment by Chase
Sure. I’m a big enough and open-minded enough to agree, based on your source, that Bush’s IQ may not be a 91. In fact, and you have to agree, that maybe, just maybe, it is actually much lower and that why the White House has never released his true IQ ratings. I mean, couldn’t that also be so?
July 17th, 2006 at 1:22 pm#106 - It might be. But then again, IQ tests have been largely discredited, haven’t they?
And I don’t remember ever hearing a WH release an “official IQ”, have you?
Either way, I don’t care. I don’t necessarily think the smartest guys in the country are the best choices for president.
Anyway, that’s for being honest about the source.
July 17th, 2006 at 1:25 pm#95: I agree with your second point: that given the decision to invade, it was poorly thought out. Not enough troops, no plan for after the takedown of the Baathist regime. No disagreement there.
So, we invaded Iraq because we had irrefutable evidence that he had chemical weapons in the 1980’s (which is when he used them against the Kurds)? We were relying on 20-year-old evidence? This makes no sense. If we were so worried about these WMD’s back in the 1980’s (when Saddam actually had them), why weren’t conservatives clamoring for us to invade Iraq during the Reagan adminsitration? (Actually, I know the answer: because back then Reagan thought Iraq was an ally in our crusade against Iran.) It’s not just that I don’t agree; it’s that this justification for taking the country to war doesn’t make any logical sense.
You’ve backtracked from claim that Saddam was going to “further develop” WMD’s. Now you’re claiming that it was appropriate to invade because Saddam “sought” nuclear weapons and that he had chemical weapons in the 1980’s. That is a far cry from “further developing” exisiting weapons, wouldn’t you agree? And you’re also aware that the evidence that Saddam was seeking nuclear weapons has been discredited, are you not?
And although the U.S. is certainly still the most powerful country in the world, it’s difficult to deal with real threats when your military force is already committed to two major wars and you’ve severely undermined your ability to attract new military recruits. Not even an unprecedentedly aggressive advertising blitzkrieg has successfuly convinced young people that now is a good time to join the military. And then there’s the $300 billion (or is it $400 billion? I’ve lost track) and counting that we’ve already spent in Iraq. These things weaken our position.
We shouldn’t get too cocky about our global dominance. We maintain a strong position by acting wisely, responsibily, and rationally. This war was neither wise nor responsible nor rational.
July 17th, 2006 at 1:28 pmLMFAOTIPMP….
And THESE TWO are the leaders of the free world?????
On second thought…. I should be very afraid.
July 17th, 2006 at 1:29 pmYou may think Israel’s response is justified…but that doesn’t mean it is.
Killing because of killing isn’t justified…it’s stupid.
Israel blames their killing on Hezbollah’s killings. Hezbollah blames their killing on Israel’s killings.
It gets you nowhere. Now…here.
Killing people because other people killed people does not create peace…EVER. It only kills people…and gets other people killed.
Israel did not start this.
Do you think killing other people will end it?
Israel tries to minimize civilian deaths while Hezbollah has no other goal than civilian death. There is a distinction.
Killing is killing.
There is no difference.
July 17th, 2006 at 1:30 pmIt’s not the use of the word ‘irony’ that has so impressed dear Tony, but that of ’shit’. Like any school yard bully’s lacky, the sad twat just loves it when the big boys talk dirty. After all, TB has surrounded himself with some of the most foul mouthed f**kers (pace Margaret Beckett) ever to have polluted the corridors of whitehall. Not that there is anything wrong with pottymouthing per se; like everything else he does it’s for effect and not for real. So go on W, use the ‘C’ word, and get him hard.
July 17th, 2006 at 1:33 pmBut then again, IQ tests have been largely discredited, haven’t they?
Comment by Chase
Maybe you ought to present that hoax to the American Psychological Association. I think they might find that amusing. In a report from their task force on the subject in August 1995, they note that IQ scores do have high predictive validity for the individual.
But what the hell do those dumbasses know, huh?
July 17th, 2006 at 1:36 pmMNW
Unfortunately it is not for Israel to make the first move here. They are the agrieved party, it is for Lebanon to make the first move towards peace, and they can do that very easily: Hand over the leadership of Hezbollah. They can’t give back the soldiers because chances are they don’t know where those soldiers are and that these soldiers are already dead, but they can make a very solid show of the fact that they were not behind these kidnappings.
Lebanon is innocent up to a point, and that is that they have not acted against Hezbollah for doing this. Israel’s action is justified, but it is also playing into the hands of Hezbollah, who want this war in order to win elections. The deaths on both sides are not going to serve Israel’s or Lebanon’s cause, but rather Hezbollah’s. This is the futility of war.
July 17th, 2006 at 1:38 pmAnd then there’s the $300 billion (or is it $400 billion? I’ve lost track) and counting that we’ve already spent in Iraq. These things weaken our position.
Not to mention that a lot of that is debt we owe countries like China…weakening our position as the “only remaining superpower” even more.
July 17th, 2006 at 1:38 pm#107: I basically agree with your point that the smartest people aren’t necessarily the best choices for President. All other things being equal, I’d rather have someone who’s smart than someone who’s dumb, but being brilliant doesn’t guarantee effective leadership.
There are other qualities that matter. I’d rate good communication skills (not necessarily charisma), wisdom, and the ability to select and delegate a trustworthy team of advisors as crucial Presidential skills. I’d say Bush’s communication skills are medicre at best; notwithstanding his frequent syntactical gaffes, he seems to have trouble communicating anything without oversimplifications and/or straw man fallacies about opposing views. This causes divisions. As for wisdom, I think he rates very low. The invasion of Iraq was spectacularly unwise. And Bush’s team of advisors is a motley collection of corrupt retreads from past administrations, all with their own profiteering agendas, all scrambling for a piece of the pie. They’re loyal to Bush (or else they’re purged), but they are not to be trusted to give wise counsel.
All in all, I’d say those are not impressive Presidential skills.
July 17th, 2006 at 1:44 pmKind of sounds like a page from the Republican play-book. Screw the Country, screw Iraq, makes Repukes look strong enabling them to win elections with fear.
July 17th, 2006 at 1:44 pmUnfortunately it is not for Israel to make the first move here.
Peace comes to those who create it. Launching missiles and killing people is not an attempt to create peace.
They are the agrieved party
No more agrieved than any of the other parties involved. Do you think suicide bombers blow shit up for the hell of it…or do you think that’s their way of handling their agrievances?
it is for Lebanon to make the first move towards peace, and they can do that very easily: Hand over the leadership of Hezbollah.
Peace comes to those who create it. Lebanon, currently being bombarded by a much stronger military force, is in no position to create peace. Peace flows from the mighty, not the weak.
They can’t give back the soldiers because chances are they don’t know where those soldiers are and that these soldiers are already dead, but they can make a very solid show of the fact that they were not behind these kidnappings.
Israel already knows Lebanon is not behind these kidnappings. Do you really think this is about these kidnappings?
Lebanon is innocent up to a point, and that is that they have not acted against Hezbollah for doing this. Israel’s action is justified, but it is also playing into the hands of Hezbollah, who want this war in order to win elections. The deaths on both sides are not going to serve Israel’s or Lebanon’s cause, but rather Hezbollah’s.
Death serves no one’s cause. It definitely does not serve the cause of peace.
This is the futility of war.
This is the stupidity of war.

July 17th, 2006 at 2:16 pmLebanon is a country of religous diversity and freedoms. It is approximately 40% Christian and 53% Muslim.
At the current time the Lebanese armed forces have not yet recovered from Syria’s occupation of the country. Foreign agents (Hezbollah) occupying southern Lebanon are actually better armed and better equipped than Lebanese forces.
As a result of Israeli attacks on its infrastructure, Lebanon is losing ground in its efforts to control its own territory. The Israeli attacks are actually serving to assist Hezbollah which appears to receive arms and training from Iran and Syria and is not a Lebanese force.

July 17th, 2006 at 2:46 pmThe prime minister of Lebanon, who was installed with President Bush’s approval when Syria, under Bush’s pressure, recently withdrew its troops from Lebanon, has twice appealed to Bush to pressure Israel to stop its criminal attacks. Our great moral, democratic, Christian leader has twice rebuffed the appeal from the legal representative of the Lebanese people. Instead, Bush is willingly going along with the 1996 neocon script. Bush is laying the blame on Syria and Iran, exactly as the neocon script calls for him to do.

July 17th, 2006 at 3:03 pmWho is “they”?
July 17th, 2006 at 3:20 pmIt’s been only seven years since Clinton was tried under the Articles of Impeachment, but some apologists are already trying to rewrite history. The House did not approve the Articles of Impeachment merely because Clinton had an affair with Monica, but rather the House deemed that the President had provided perjurious, false and misleading testimony to the grand jury regarding the Paula Jones case and his relationship with Lewinsky and that he had obstructed justice through an effort to delay, impede, cover up and conceal the existence of evidence related to the Jones case.
July 17th, 2006 at 3:26 pmOne cannot reasonably argue for the impeachment of Bush because “he lied,” while ignoring the incontrovertible evidence that Clinton did indeed lie under oath and impeded justice for a common citizen.
There will be those who will argue that Clinton’s lie paled in comparison to Bush’s alleged lie, but are they not of equal importance? Clinton’s lie denied justice to more than one woman who claim to have been sexually assaulted by a powerful leader. Do not take the actions of Clinton as a harmless white lie or a ruse by moral elitists. Through his actions — his willingness to circumvent the legal system — he pissed on the Constitution and denied victims access to the courts. A dictator would do no less. It was NOT about sex, it was about the president acting as though he was above the law and above the common man.
A few lies have to be countered here. First Israel has kidnapped hundreds of Palestinians imprisoned without trial in their own Guantanamo style prison. Secondly, a total of 3 Israeli soldiers were kidnapped by Palestinian and Hezbollah for the purpose of prisoner exchange, which had happened on numerous occasions in the past. Third, soldiers ARE legitimate target in an armed conflict. Fourth, Israel started bombing Gaza and Lebanon, including civilian infrastructure, power grids, government bureaus, airport, and kidnapped the entire Palestinian Parliament BEFORE Hezbollah launched its rockets. Hundreds of Palestinians and Lebanese civilians have died, compared to a fraction of Israeli civilian deaths, so spare me the sh*t about “precision bombing”. When you bomb urban centers, infrstructure and villages, you WILL definitely kill a lot of civillians. Hundreds of Americans, Europeans and Japanese have been kidnapped in Iraq, and $$$ and who knows what else have been given in exchange. Israel could have TALKED to the kidnappers first, instead, it jumped on this excuse as a means of carrying out a series of attacks and actions that would be war crimes if the UN still had some teeth left to declare it. The decent thing is to call for an immediate ceasefire, and for the UN to secure the safety of Lebanon, stop the rockets aimed at Isarel, and then work out how the 3 Israeli soldiers may be released through TALK, something it seems POTUS doesn’t like doing as much as a plain old cowboy shoot-em-up (via remote control). So these chickenhawk wingnuts want us to fight with Israel side by side in order to commit more war crimes against unarmed men, women and children? Hey someone give Chase a set of body armor and drop him off into the Israel-Lebanon border. Or is it only all talk when it comes time for *you* to act, not some poor sod who signed up to defend his country, not Israel?
July 17th, 2006 at 3:27 pmYou brought it up not me. While you mention it - talk about giving up ‘moral authority’ - being a serial philanderer, a prolific adulterer and a many-time-accused sexual harrasser sure looked good in the eyes the world.

Dear Mr. Pusbag:
Actually, it’s quite the opposite, fucktard.
What looked shameful in the eyes of the world was not that Clinton got a blowjob, it was that we were actually making such a big deal over it.
I was travelling abroad during that time. (have you EVER traveled outside of the country? I doubt it.) Over and over, friends, family and total strangers would ask me to explain what the hell that whole episode was about. America truly looked like a nation of deranged fools for trying to impeach a president over consensual sex.
If anything has brought shame upon our nation, it’s Bush’s warmongering. I know this too from my travels abroad.
So, go shove it Chase. You’re just another ignorant Bush cultist with no concept of what’s going on in reality.

There are wars going on, hundreds die every week, hundreds of billions of $$$ spent on these wars to eliminate non-existent WMD would have to be paid, national debt is now $130,000 per family, oil prices have tripled since 2000, the economy is going straight to hell, and all you wingnuts care about are Clinton’s past blow-jobs and stopping gay marriages?

July 17th, 2006 at 4:09 pmuh who cares if bush swears, whats the big deal. whats news in his quote is that he doesnt have a clue about hizbollah, lebanon, syria, etc; as if syria could stop hizbollah if it wanted to. maybe the syrian army could have but, you know, we just made them leave (and rightfully so). some like to pretend hizbollah is just an appendage of iran or syria but uh, news flash, its not. sure it takes money and arms but its pretty much a force unto itself. its the most powerful and cohesive force in lebanon by far. so what bush said means he pretty much swallows the arguements of those who’d love to see a wider war, where the actions of some are inevitably linked to paymasters in countries they dont like.
July 17th, 2006 at 4:11 pmHe is also shirking his responsibility. Why isn’t *he* the one talking to Olmert, Assad, Putin and the other Europeans putting together a ceasefire initiative?

I’m not proud of Clinton for having sex with Lewinsky, but it was consensual sex and the fallout from an extramarital affair is the business of the married couple - not you, me or the moralist next door.
As an American I am, however, proud of the way Clinton always stepped up to the plate in situations like the one we face today - working with the international community in a respectful, intelligent and efficacious way to mitigate (not exacerbate) the violence.

******President Clinton did not face what we face today. Clinton did the best job he could - I supported his efforts in Bosnia and criticized his response to the firtst WTC and the USS Cole. What is your opinion of his announcement that it would be a mistake to telegraph a timeline for withdrawal in Iraq. (He said this in support of Senator Lieberman.) It is easy tolook back and criticize but I think overall Clinton did a good job. Unfortunately, he had the morals of a he-whore….
