Is Bush on drugs with that "pig" comment? cause if he isn't i'm thinking..

maybe he should be; something along the lines of a nice, slow moving (in keeping with his personal intel uptake) 'thorazine shuffle' would be better for the world at large :thumbsup:

9. European reporters pressed the president on matter of international

concern and interest and he replied, "I thought you were going to ask me about the pig."

At another point he told reporters, "I'm looking forward to that pig tonight."

By which I believe he meant a roast pig barbecue-type picnic.

The comment drew some fire, owing to the sensitivity over pork among many Middle Eastern peoples.

The president was thought to be thuggish and clueless, and in poor form on the world stage.

our president.

Just a wee little hint.

Hope you're doing well.

59. Yes. It's still lingering in my head -- in no small part because of DUer

Zomby Woof's excellent post last evening, but also because it seems to go two ways with Bush:

Either he's a mean-spirited jerk who's offending with the pig reference on purpose, or he's a clueless yahoo who doesn't realize it's offensive to many Middle Eastern cultures.

And either way we have to endure 2 more years of him. Yuck.

48. Hee's that text:

PRESIDENT BUSH: Follow up on?

Q On both of these. Does it concern you that the Beirut airport has been bombed? And do you see a risk of triggering a wider war?

And on Iran, they've, so far, refused to respond. Is it now past the deadline, or do they still have more time to respond?

PRESIDENT BUSH: I thought you were going to ask me about the pig.

Q I'm curious about that, too. (Laughter.)

PRESIDENT BUSH: The pig? I'll tell you tomorrow after I eat it.

~~~~~~~~~

He has no sense of propriety. People are dying, and all he can concern himself with is getting satidfied gorging himself on a pig. And the people who are dying see his diet as unclean.

agree with you. But the chimp is such a clueless dumbass, that I honestly don't think he made the connection. I don't think he's capable of making the connection because he knows nothing about the dietary restrictions of devout Muslims and Jews. He's just a moron. Truly.

I think they are more sophisticated in Europe to be entertained by remarks like this from a buffoon. I think they were looking for more dignity from the so-called leader of the free world.

For someone who has never been "presidential", his performance yesterday redefined the word "unpresidential". It was extremely embarrassing.

26. The Daily Show video is at Comedy Central .com now, here's the link!

Slicing the Pig
Let's assume "slicing the pig" is a euphemism for "solve the Middle East crisis."

Also from last night! This one starts slow, but the ending is AWESOME!

Snake on a Plame
The Plame leak is no big deal, and that's why they've been covering it up for the past two years. <<< MUST SEE!

Hey Gabi, I found a Great video at YouTube of Steven Colbert on "The Dana Carvey Show" in 1996!

I don't know if you're a big Colbert fan, but if so, you'll love this!
