Well, he had to be doing something to garner such a strong reaction. Did anyone see the entire feed? Could they provide some more information?

I'm content with the sign of weakness; a president is almost an immortal. For example, doesn't it seem odd that Bush and other world leaders clip their toenails, go to the bathroom, get haircuts, masturbate etc?

Then again, I'm very weird. Whatever.

Nice unbiased article their Zeno. Is "idiot" common journalistic parlance?

I know this has been stated before. But, just for emphasis: this isn't an issue because there is anything wrong with Mr. Bush's grooming habits. It is an issue because the White House has made it an issue.

Candypants:

She was a tender girl whose heart more than made up for the hideous physical defects. However, I do have a soft, humanitarian side those poor souls who have hook-hands, and I didn't want her to feel more isolated than she already was.

Candypants asks: You think the president sniffs his own farts after he lets loose like most men?

**shudder**

What Americans don't understand is that Europeans have known this about Bush since he was Governor of Texas. They've always known it

Come on say it. They've always known it because Europeans are divinely instilled with knowledge. Somehow I doubt most Europeans are versed on the beliefs and behaviors of State Governors. Yes, Europeans have an unhealthy obsession with US politics, but it isn't that unhealthy.

previos post should have started with "
He was goofing around, and there's only one way to interpret that kind of behaviour just seconds before announcing war on Iraq: the man is an idiot...

What Americans don't understand is that Europeans have known this about Bush since he was Governor of Texas. They've always known it, because it is so absolutely obvious, that the man who dodged military service, who laughs at death penalty pleas for mercy, who didn't know where Iraq was two years ago, is less than a fit leader.

"They've always known it because Europeans are divinely instilled with knowledge."

Pure, unadulterated gold. They are beating us in terms of "culture" though.

This situation is somewhat perplexing though; I mean, if it was such a major incident, why in the hell would they draw more attention to it in a public forum? Did he grab the hairdresser's ass?

Fox news takes liberal-bashing disguised as objective journalism to an art form. It really is a spectacle. Last night I was watching and they were giving all these reports about how the war is going so well blah blah blah, then the announcer stopped and said something to the effect, "because we are balanced, we would also like to report on the fact that there are war protestors. (camera goes to war protestors being arrested) Apparently demonstrators, who have this right because of the people that died and bled for those rights, are getting violent. Blah blah blah. My mouth was on the floor. Not only did they show a small section of the protestors in a biased fashion, the ones that the majority of the protestors despise, but they had the audacity to call said skewed reporting "balanced".
