For one thing, it was starting to bore me. For another, I figured that only someone who was dead could miss the level of corruption, lies and manipulation from which we are currently suffering. I don't know of anyone who's in FAVOR of any of these idiots. And, I mean Demos or Repugs.
But, this .. this was shocking. Here we have a quote from today's G8 conference in St. Petersburg, Russia:
From Daily Kos
From CNN, Bush urges the model of "Iraq democracy" on a what-must-be-assumed-to-be-astonished Vladimir Putin:
"I talked about my desire to promote institutional change in parts of the world, like Iraq where there's a free press and free religion, and I told him that a lot of people in our country would hope that Russia would do the same," Bush said.
But what CNN originally failed to point out was Bush's response. Here's the transcript from Think Progress, where you can also see the video of the exchange.
BUSH: I talked about my desire to promote institutional change in parts of the world, like Iraq, where there's a free press and free religion. And I told him that a lot of people in our country would hope that Russia will do the same thing. I fully understand, however, that there will be a Russian-style democracy.
PUTIN: We certainly would not want to have same kind of democracy as they have in Iraq, quite honestly.
BUSH: Just wait.
This from the man who sums up diplomacy with this gem: "Different words mean different things to different people." Someone please keep this man away from unscripted events. World peace might very well depend upon it.
Now, I ask you - if now isn't the time to take our country back, when is?
