Gee, I wonder why Obama didn't send George W. Bush to North Korea...
I mean, after all, the guy was so accomplished as a diplomat and a negotiator. He was so deeply respected by foreign leaders. He was so well spoken, no missteps or gaffes which he was President. Obama lost the opportunity for another "Mission Accomplished" moment. And I'm sure those young women would rather have put their fate in GWB's competent hands.

Next best thing would have been Cheney. I donno, I'm beginning to question Obama's judgment.

2. You know this really highlights that the
adults are in charge now..and they get things done. Not run around like some bloated on ego gunslinger with his sidekick dick.

13. I thought it was Newsweek that suggested Obama use bush as Middle East envoy...

He's crawled into a bottle of cheap bourbon, and he ain't comin' out fer nuthin'.

9. Gee... where's the cheerleader mob attack on this thread?
I started a thread a few hours ago saying basically the same thing, and the pom poms and unrecs were flying everywhere.

11. Actually, I was expecting the same treatment. I posted a thread in GD about
the disrupted Town Meetings and they got me there. Maybe I distracted them. :-) Maybe unrecs are becomming a badge of honor.

14. Wasn't There A Photo Of GW...
when he was visiting South Korea where he had a pair of binoculars with the end caps still on????? This might explain a reason for not choosing him to help solve this situation!

18. do they throw shoes in North Korea? Maybe Obama was scared Dubya would get nailed in the head with
one of Kim Jong-il's shoes with the extra lift in them...

19. A shoe in the head might knock some sense into it. I think Barbara smacked him one too many times
in the head. Poppy always said Jeb was the smartest. The Saudi royal family insisted that GWB run instead of Jeb. I can see why, they now own 1/2 the country.

20. I'm pretty sure the head would have been the one inflicting the damage... I can see it now - "Intern
ational crisis sparked by North Korean dictator's shoe rage."
