This Is Why bush Was Pouting in Argentina! No naps, lunch and late to bed!
http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/11/06/news/letter.php

<snip>

Not least, the always-on-time, early-rising Bush found himself so much at the mercy of Argentina's late, leisurely scheduling that on Friday he sat down to a dinner with Western Hemisphere leaders at 10:15 p.m., already past his bedtime, and was not back at his hotel room until nearly 12:40 a.m.

The next day, an administration official said Bush would skip a two-hour Saturday lunch with the leaders because of "time served" at dinner the night before. But the president's planned escape was soon moot because the contentious summit talks ran so late, some three hours over schedule at that point, that Argentina simply canceled the lunch.

So by 3:30 p.m., evidently on an empty stomach, Bush said he was sticking to his plans - his itinerary called for a 4:05 p.m. Air Force One departure from Argentina to Brazil - and he did, leaving an assistant secretary of state behind to sweat out the trade talks. They ended hours later in failure.

<snip>

Well, he certainly didn't look happy a lot of the time. Polls show that Bush is the most unpopular U.S. president ever in Latin America, but what was most striking about watching him on his trip to Argentina, Brazil and Panama, which ends Monday night, is how separated he sometimes seemed from the cacophony around him.

1. "It's hard work!"
Edited on Sun Nov-06-05 01:34 PM by lebkuchen
and it's going to get harder, Chimpy! LOL!

I love this part:

Chávez, for his part, was not at a loss for words. He not only delivered a two-hour speech at the anti-American rally, in Mar Del Plata's main soccer stadium, he paid tribute to another White House nemesis, Cindy Sheehan, whose son, a U.S. soldier, was slain in Iraq and who staged a monthlong summer protest outside Bush's Texas ranch. Sheehan, who had been invited by the organizers to the rally but didn't attend, got a big round of applause.

Bush is a haunted man. LOL!

And this part, it's rich!

Panama was also the first country that Bush's father invaded - a history that prompted a Panamanian reporter to ask the current president last week if he saw parallels with the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

"No, I'm not going to Panama for that reason," Bush said. "I'm going to Panama because Panama is a friend."


I love it. The Bush family's legacy is invading other countries!

5. English translation: The So-Americans did not bend for the US President.
They used the schedule to diss the president.

6. Bush is doing a "heck of a job"
Just like Brownie.

More worried about his own comfort and needs.

By Bush standards - a heck of a job.

10. Now come on folks - Bush has his priorities - punctuality is more i
important than any lil' ol' trade talks. Hey, the rest of the world is watching - wouldn't want them to think Americans don't know what's important. :sarcasm:

It is so embarrassing to have him make the rest of the world think AMerica is like him - an ill-mannered, mean-spirited little jerk. I wonder how many years and years it will take for us to build back our reputation.

12. Actually, he wasn't in bed until after midnight
Remember how upset he was when Putin kept him up until 11:00 p.m.? Obviously, his hosts were doing it on purpose. :)

14. "Panicky Bush slinks away from Chavez"
snip~

"The main target at the event was Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a leader who is invariably slandered by the media with the monikers “leftist firebrand”, “radical president” (Financial Times) or fiery, populist president (NY Times). At some point in every article, Chavez is lumped together with Fidel Castro or Che Guevara in a conspicuous attempt to dismiss him as an anti-American troublemaker. In fact, Chavez was among the first countries to come to America’s aid following Hurricane Katrina, offering doctors, medicine and oil to the devastated region. No major media source publicly credited him for his charitable contributions.

"We’ve come to bury FTAA,” Chavez roared to the capacity crowd. “I even brought a shovel”.

The Venezuelan president’s remarks were enthusiastically applauded by the thousands in the crowd who chanted back, “Fascist Bush, You are the terrorist”.

http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_mike_whi_051105...

Here's an article that gives you a new way of looking at Shrub's recently failed trip to Venezuela, and his premature departure therefrom."

24. One of my Uncles and a few cousins of mine chew Skoal
I think Cherry and Wintergreen versions...that's VERY nasty stuff. YUK! But considering they all tend to wash their hands often, they're not stained.

The Bush bastard is such a COMPLETE ALL-ROUND pig, that he probably messes around down his pants in ALL KINDS of ways, also he looks like he never washes his hands after using the bathroom, the dirty pig. Considering he hacked up some phlegm and spat it out on the WH lawn ON CAMERA, Letterman showed it...ANYTHING is possible with the Bush bastard.

19. What is that expression used around here? Oh yeah,
"Boo-fucking-hoo."

He looks worse than I feel having to sit through CEU lectures to keep up my license.


"...leaving an assistant secretary of state behind to sweat out the trade talks. They ended hours later in failure."

Probably would have ended even worse off if he had stayed.

his fingers laced so he won't get caught writing another bathroom break note.

23. If he considers that "time served", the fucking idiot should resign.
That's his JOB. His cronies RIGGED TWO FUCKING ELECTIONS to get him that job.

Apparently the only thing that interests this wealthy moron is playing dress-up and handing gobs of cash to himself and other wealthy morons.

Every time I see that guy I find him more repulsive.

25. This proves a theory that popped into my head in his first year.
I believe they talked him into running by promising things. Go to Walla Walla and give a talk to some have mores and we will give you a weekend at the ranch. Go on vacation in August, but we need you to make a couple of speeches so we will start your vacaion a week earlier and you will get two extra days out of it. You presence is required at a lunch meeting on air quality, but we will make sure they serve your favorite meal and you can be out by 3:15 so that you can play some video games.

I believe he is bribed into his duties as President.

I believe he is a juvenile.

27. It's Clinton's fault. He made it all look so easy. * thought he could
do it too. But Bush is no Rhodes scholar. I think you are right. Now Bush is pissed that it is harder work than he has ever had to do in his life.

29. His schedule, his routine keep him from drinking --
I'm sure it's very uncomfortable for him when he's not in control of that. And, I imagine, woe to those around him!
