It's good that the president didn't choke on that buttered roll... for health reasons, really (high cholesterol and sodium), not to imply that the president of the U.S. should choke on a buttered roll.

Ooh, now. Don't wish him to choke just yet. That'd just drive oil prices up worse.

Bush sounds just like everyone I talk to every day--the classic Texas good ole boy. Which, of course, is what he is. I wish people didn't automatically hear that accent in those of us who use it and just automatically assume stupidity.

Here, particularly, I don't agree with the "idiot" description. Actually, if you listen to his message, it's one of the most intelligent and succinct summations of what needs to happen that there is. "The irony is what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it's over." He's right, of course. I freely admit that he omitted the very obvious point that we the U.S. could effectively encourage Israel to "stop doing this shit," too.

I've listened to different edits of this tape all day long today, and the most troubling thing about MSNBC's particular coverage was that channel's characterization of Bush as sounding dismissive of Kofi Anan. I didn't think he sounded dismissive at all. He was simply asking a question. That, to me, was a complete editorialization on the part of NBC. I have never before believed that the mainstream news outlets portray him unfairly, but I'm going to try and be more attuned to that as an objective listener/former reporter myself after seeing this because I thought that "dismissive" comment was complete opinion and nothing more.

I'm not a Bush supporter, as most folks know, but I thought what he actually said was pretty much on target here. People like to call him dumb because of the good ole boy factor, and I agree that the guy's not an intellectual. But here his statement just struck me as simple and true--and in his subsequent sentence, he didn't sound dismissive at all of the U.N. secretary general.

Anyone agree with me here?

I agree with you. I hate Bush whole heartedly, and think he is an evil man - BUT I think this whole thing has been blown out of proportion. If people, even the president, have to always be politically correct when in private conversations, things have gotten out of hand. I agree with PC in a public forum, or in mixed company, but when two people are having what they think is a private conversation, other people need to just back off.

I don't think he runs the country whatsoever. Maybe I just give this place too much credit, but I think the actual owners (Haliburton/Tobacco Companies/Bush Oil Refineries/Chia Pets) are far more intelligent.

Everybody loves to hate a patsy.

If you actually listen to it he says "yeah Blair" I still don't like Bush but I saw it on the news and that's what he said.

[zero2104]

lol funny, also funnny how he tells the leader of the Russian Gov't that they should change it to a Gov't like IRAQ'S!!!!!!!!!!!

I would agree with that partly, Birdgirl. Terrorism is a shitty, cowardly tactic that isn't working, but disproportionate responses only create death and destruction and future resentment... It's like banking your enemies. The trouble I have with his comment (and others related to this) is how he blames Hezbollah for all this. I've long accepted this as a political struggle between terrorists and other sovereign nations against Israel. Tactics on both sides aren't working and never will.

I'd have been much happier to hear Dubya tell Olmert to back off... the only other path seems to be more, escalating violence.

BTW - Good of you to volunteer to take one for the team, but wait, I hear Edwards knocking :thumbsup:
