Bush - "Good-Bye From the World's Biggest Polluter"

It would be hilarious if it wasn't true...and if he wasn't besmirching America's reputation every time he opened his pie hole (from the Telegraph):

George Bush surprised world leaders with a joke about his poor record on the environment as he left the G8 summit in Japan.

The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter."

He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.

1. I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised at his behavior..I'm not,

nor am I surprised that his antics won't get any attention in the US media.

2. How embarrassing! And, didn't China recently pass us in that department?

at least I thought China passed us in most pollution generated? Or, maybe a certain type of pollution?

but, isn't punching the air like that a terrorist fist jab?
