Bush Mangles Names, then Bolts

Bush Mangles Names, then Bolts

Yeah, our “beloved leader” is really interested in helping to negotiate peace in the middle east. Isn’t that what his record is all about? Isn’t it? Isn’t it?

Crooks and Liars:

Looking confused and distracted, the president butchered the names of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas *shock* and even needed guidance on where to stand with the two leaders for a photo op — which was apparently the only reason he attended at all.

After all the hype and spin about how much President Bush cares about bringing peace to the Middle East, and how he’s worked the phones and listened in preparation, our Commander in Chief took off after spending less than three hours at the summit.

Step away from the podium….

Well, got the photo op…

Catching up on my Bushisms. To make things a little more obvious to the careless reader, I have added emphasis:

“See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.”
—Confronted by political opposition, Bush explains his strategy on promoting Social Security reform. (Washington Post, “The Ostrich Approach,” Dan Froomkin, May 25, 2005)

“I repeat, personal accounts do not permanently fix the solution.”
—A glimmer of truth, however confused, from Bush on Social Security. (White House, “President’s Press Conference”, March 16, 2005)

“With the campaign over, Americans are expecting a bipartisan effort and results. I’ll reach out to everyone who shares our goals.”
—In Bush’s first press conference after the election on Nov. 4, 2004.

“We will stand up for terror. We will stand up for freedom.”
—Bush, speaking on the campaign trail, Oct. 18, 2004, in Marlton, N.J.

“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”
—Bush addressing a group of witnesses at the signing of the Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2005 in Washington, DC on Aug. 4.
