Potty Mouth President

[This post is R-rated for language]

George W. Bush once again has been recorded by an open mike of which he was unaware. Speaking at the Group of 8 meeting to Tony Blair about the Israel-Lebanon hostilities, Bush gave his simplistic solution, “what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it's over.” This reminds us of his open mike campaign remark to Dick Cheney referring to a New York Times reporter as “a major league asshole”. Cheney, of course, is more direct, saying right to Senator Leahy’s face, “Fuck you”.

Potty mouth language aside, Bush continues to embarrass our country on the international stage with his immature failure to grasp the basics of diplomacy. Impatience is his strong suit. Quick meetings and short comments are his style, which is fitting for a man who holds a job for which he is totally unqualified. His major observation at the G8 is that people talk too long. He prefers to cut it short and head for home.
