With a Hush and a Whisper, Bush Drops Town Hall Meeting with Germans
http://service.spiegel.de/cache/international/0,1518,343281,00.html


During his trip to Germany on Wednesday, the main highlight of George W. Bush's trip was meant to be a "town hall"-style meeting with average Germans. But with the German government unwilling to permit a scripted event with questions approved in advance, the White House has quietly put the event on ice. Was Bush afraid the event might focus on prickly questions about Iraq and Iran rather than the rosy future he's been touting in Europe this week?

13. He's afraid that bulge in the back of his jacket won't help him this time.
BulgerGate!

Warning! Moron approaching the intellectual debate armed with silly putty and a whoopie cushion.

In a battle of the minds, best come prepared, don't leave home without it.

Ah, lobotomy, huh? Well, that makes sense.

12. Kinda makes ya proud
he's your Preznit, don't it? Kinda gits ya right in the gonads.

Jesus. What are they so afraid of? He must have totally lost his mind--apparently he can't be trusted off-script at all, ever. I wonder if they keep him locked up at night, so he won't wander the halls of the White House, babbling and drooling.
