A remarkable President Bush interview yesterday at the China Olympics with Bob Costas produced the following nuggets...

1. Bush on America: “I don't see America having problems”

2. Bush on religion: “If you are a religious person, you understand that once religion takes hold in a society it can't be stopped.”

3. Bush on the the Russia/Georgia conflict (all said without any hint of irony):

“This violence is unacceptable”

“I expressed my grave concern about the disproportionate response of Russia”

“It is interesting to me that here we are trying to promote peace and harmony and we're witnessing a conflict take place”

“I was very firm with Vladimir Putin and he and I have got a good relationship”

“Hopefully this will get resolved peacefully. There needs to be an international mediation there”

It is worth noting that YouTube initially would not post my video because of a block the copyright owner (presumably NBC) put on its content (presumably Olympic coverage). Only after I filed a complaint stating that the video met the news exception of Fair Use was the video made accessible. Oddly, a similar video posted on YouTube and then Democratic Underground <http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=385&topic_id=168146&mesg_id=168146> is no longer available.

3. Aaaaaaaaand I stopped listening after sentence ONE.
Edited on Mon Aug-11-08 07:57 PM by HughBeaumont


Picture our America on the left, and Bewsh's America, the way HE sees it, on the right.

The Boy in the Plastic Bubble, indeed.

Our president cannot form a coherent sentence, he's spent America into an insurmountable morass of debt, his decisions have all been failures and the only reason he's where he is today is because of high-connected, well-monied plants in all positions of the political circus.

Can we end this farce already?

Can this nightmare PLEASE fucking END?

8. Yeah, you and I wish, Hulk. But don't count on it.
'Cause, you know, with us tryin' to promote peace and harmony, and uhh all, and with that unacceptable violence and disproportionate response by Russia, why we just might have to uhh do something serious and that might, ahh, cause a whole bunch of problems here in Merka, so we might have to uhh have martial law to, you know, get us back to whut freedoms all about.

Or some such shit.

12. My question would be...
Was Russia's justification for marching on Georgia stronger than the case you made for marching on Iraq?

Did they forge any documents or tell any lies?

14. he clearly was sedated for whatever ailment he has
he sounded 'high' and not like his normal self. he was bearable to listen to, or I wouldn't have made it all the way through, which is what normally transpires! lol... he sounds sooooo nice and peace-loving... BLECH false man. this is what the nutty-fundy nationalists eat UP from him... I'm a Christian, but I am a Christian in the CHRIST sense of the word - not THEIR religious sense of using religion.

18. that smirking arrogance when he says
Edited on Tue Aug-12-08 02:24 AM by concerned canadian

"American has no problems" is like the guy who has verbally and physically abused his wife and kids

and when the cops show up he drapes an arm around the terrified into submission wife's shoulder, and says:

"There's no problems goin on here, officers (then staring menacingly with a smirk into 'the little woman's'

eyes)...IS there, honey?"
