Subby, do you know what that second "F" stands for in "BFF"?

This is a late parrot: Subby, do you know what that second "F" stands for in "BFF"?

Dude, That's the joke.

Like him or not, Bush is not the idiot people make him out to be. That being said, he wasn't the greatest either.

Cyberluddite: You know who else was bizarrely idealistic and, right or wrong, exhibited decisive leadership?

Just about anybody capable of identifying with a majority of bizarrely idealistic American voters over the last 40 years?

Nothing says immense simplicity like the patriot act...

make me some tea: "He was, in a bizarre sense (bizarre because it appears counterintuitive), a true idealist.

George had immense simplicity in how he saw the world. Right or wrong, it led to decisive leadership."

Yeah, well about that...

Basically - "George was curious."

/only he wasn't.

Man's best friend.

Came for the Pet Shop Boys reference. Leaving sad.

God.

What a douche bag.

I can understand why that's the selling quote in the US. Here in the UK, it's Blair basically saying that he knew Gordon Brown would be a useless Prime Minister, because he has zero charisma. Surprising blunt, especially considering he's still kissing Bush's arse in the very same memoir.

"bestest BFF 4-ever"?

I lol'd out loud.

Gordon Brown always looked like a used car salesman. He just looked shabby

GWB 2-0

B.O. 1-?

Yeah, GWB sucked sooo much he only got to be president twice. As for T.B. it was Clinton's people who helped him get elected.

IDK, Blair's BFF Bill?

"when George rammed his huge golden rod in me... It was clear there was going to be a solution to Iraq" actual quote from Blair.

make me some tea:

George had immense simplicity

Everything I ever needed to know about Bush is summed up in that sentence.

/was also painfully obvious

I really like Michael Sheen better that the real Tony Blair.

This thread ought to be good...

I preferred the Telegraph's article. Link (new window) My favorite Bush quote from the article: "You got the Belgians running Europe?" For some reason it makes me smile. It's also very revealing that he, President of the United States, would not know who the head of the EU was.

General Zod?

Locutus of Borg?

Is stupid really stupid or a different kind of smart?

kukukupo: Like him or not, Bush is not the idiot people make him out to be. That being said, he wasn't the greatest either.

I like your understatement. It either suggest you have a lot of class, or else that you are an impeccable troll.

Quasar: Sounds like the ideal leader to coerce into taking up the brunt of pointless wars.

Wow. I like this theory, if only because the English Empire needs a few wacky boosters who think it is still a stronger world power than the American Empire. It's kind of nefarious to think of the USA as just another pawn between the Russians and the House of Windsor.

"George had immense simplicity"

Truer words were never spoken.

Also approved of Bush.

By that logic, Bush Sr. was a better president than his son. Thoughts?

I meant WORSE. Crap.

kukukupo: Like him or not, Bush is not the idiot people make him out to be. That being said, he wasn't the greatest either.

Being protected from your failings by your family connection, creating a delusional sense of infallibility, is a form of stupidity.

have bore? borne.

Actual quote from book:

"George couldn't spell cat if you spotted him the C and the T, but damn can that boy search for weapons of mass destruction"

I am all for the Bush and Blair human centipede

Does the publishing of his bullshiat FINALLY mean we have seen the last of that scum Blair? Or at least until his sorry ass gets dragged into the Hague and he ends up getting burned at the stake. As Cromwell said "In the name of god GO."

he'll be in the house of lords soon enough. Hopefully he won't be made a baron. He was no Thatcher, she should outrank him.

Blair...... Or B Liar, as he is usually known is a complete.... errr

what do you call a person who says one thing at the time, and then says the complete opposite thing in his memoirs?

four letters ends in 'UNT'
