BTW, I think this story was pulled. I had found it on google news and sent the above in an email and when I went back I can't find it now.
It's real though. hxxp://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200705/s1932742.htm Quote:
In other news Bush: The ocean is wet because it's made of water. One nitpick, I hate when they call him Mr. Bush. I disagree with him and don't support him but he is president Bush and it's disrespectful to the office to not call him that.

About the Ocean? No, I need further proof and details.

So now all the Monday morning quarterbacks show up. I've been saying we should get him since day 1.

What if he is leading the "Don't grab the leader" Parade?

...and you should still be able to expect a sensible dignified answer from a head of state. Hey, I'm not saying they're not human too but they should know how to answer stupid questions again, for dignity, decorum and respect. I'm not saying he couldn't react sarcastically, dismissively, reflectively etc. Just don't give an equally stupid answer without making it clear that's what you're doing and you're aware of it. Just IMHO.

It's better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you are a fool than to open it and remove any lingering doubt. *SHURG*

I thought that considering the question, it was about as sensible and dignified as possible. |

To me that sounds like "lowering yourself to their level" and that's exactly what our leaders should not do. I don't want to be lead by someone who can be easily dragged down like that. I wouldn't mind if he'd said something like "what the hell am I supposed to say" after his quote to note how asinine the question was but as written it doesn't look like he thought it was a stupid question and was answering it in earnest.

How can you say it was ok to react sarcastically and then not think his answer was ok? That's exactly what his answer was.

That would be my answer too as it ties directly into the Logan quotes.

From my totally anecdotal browsing I'd say people that oppose him are split 50/50 between stupid and evil. My personal vote is evil btw.

Good point. I guess in that case you'd need to wait until you knew for sure it was over. For example, you could wait for the "Mission Accomplished" float to go by.

FWIW, capturing bin Laden won't matter shit in the grand scheme of things. Al-Q. is just one tiny, tiny cell. This idea of a vast global network is a bullshit propoganda piece.

I'm not sure he has the mental capacity for two thoughts at the same time... oh wait. Nevermind. ![]()

I hate Bush as much as the next guy, but...
The joke seems to be that his reply was self-evident--that's really not the case. The question could have been answered by shifting blame, responsibility, etc. in any number of directions. Instead, Bush focused those things squarely on the US or his administration or whatever he meant by we.

It's pretty standard convention for foreign reporters to refer to heads of state as Mr. or Ms. Not sure what your beef is with that.

There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again.
