The article doesn't support that assertion. It's about Americans worrying about it. Headline should have read "Americans think world doesn't respect Bush."

Umm... Well if you could believe that... I mean come on. He's not exactly, Listen no one is going to respect him outside the U.S. The best he can hope is that they will fear him. But that has it's downside as well.

No one trusts someone, where the reason they were elected was because their brother was the governor of the state which caused the whole thing.

And, yes I am from South Florida... Palm Beach county to be exact. Where all the stupidty came home. ( I was in Germany at the time.. so I can't REALLY be held in any part responsible... *Whew* The Vagabond wipes the sweat from his brow.

Well to be fair, I don't think the world has respected bush since the 1970s, early 1980s at the latest. If you look at porn since then, almost all women have shaved to some degree with most actresses these days going totally bald.

In fact, porn with bush has become something of a specialty item these days, not unlike internal money shots or anal gaping.

/refuses to be drawn into another political flame war
//probably watches too much porn

A world-wide survey on food shortage was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was: "Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"

The survey was a huge failure...

In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.
In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.
In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.
In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.
In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.
And in the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant

At some point the mainstream media will get a clue.

In the meantime, they're saving up for "a whiff of a remnant of a small hint."

This president is a fool and an embarassment to most of us in the United States. His latest quip "I know Hezbollah is connected to Iran" ...

Yeah, just like Iraq is connected to 9/11... Bush has better get some stronger psych meds or lay off the bottle.

I for one am shocked SHOCKED that a man who's had everything handed too him (yet styles himself a cowboy, wtf is that about?), and has driven all his businesses into the ground would be a shiatty president.

smitty here. Besides the misrepresentation of the article's actual content (okay, okay--the article's THRUST, if you still want innuendo) I also found it amusing that the headline gives the impression CBS somehow polled the whole world.

Voting for Bush in 2000 was an honest mistake, voting for him in 2004 was just farking stupid. We are the laughing stocks of the entire world, which I could deal with if we also weren't so farking pigheaded that we are making just about every other country hate us.

A buddy of mine sent me a story concerning the Army Corps of Engineer's estimates for the rebuilding of New Orleans levees, which includes the statements that "protecting New Orleans and the Louisiana coast from major hurricanes would cost "double-digit billions of dollars" and "There is no such thing as unlimited resources". That's because we're spending all of our money on invading Iraq so that Bush can get his daddy to love him again (the most conservative estimates are at $500 billion). Maybe another reason we can spend so much in Iraq and not New Orleans is that New Orleans money would go to companies other than Halliburton.

farking criminals. I can't wait until the Democrats take over the house or senate and can finally start appointing special prosecutors to dig into the shiat these asshats are pulling.

Except. Iran created Hezbollah. Back in '82? They later then ('83) killed over two hundred United States service members in a suicide bombing of their barrack?

While a majority of Americans, 58 percent, still believe success in Iraq is at least somewhat likely, 53 percent think Iraq will never become a stable democracy, up 10 points from last month.

Maybe I'm reading this paragraph wrong but i'm thinking that success in Iraq means a stable democracy, if 58 percent believe we'll achieve success and 53 percent don't believe it well that's 111%

I understand there's evidence that the administration has given special consideration/concessions/etc to telecoms that cooperated with the NSA, I'd like to see that explored a little more.
