4. 'Full of energy'
The US president went on to compliment the man referred to in some French media as "Sarkozy l'Americain" (Sarkozy the American).

U.S. President George W. Bush, right, is welcomed by French President Nicolas Sarkozy for a dinner at the Elysee Palace in Paris
Mr Bush consistently referred to Mr Sarkozy by his first name

"He's an interesting guy," said Mr Bush.

"He is full of energy. He's full of wisdom. He tells me what's on his mind. And every time I've met with him we've had very meaningful discussions".




Yeah....

I'll bet.....

Funny, since conservative usually means unwilling to change.

8. Brings back memories of his comment when somebody interviewed him in '88.
"What do you and your father talk about?"

"Pussy."

Imbecile.

I never heard that one. I suppose we should be grateful that he didn't try to give Carla Bruni a neck massage.

30. Completely serious.
I'm at work right now, so I can't safely search for a link (for obvious reasons), but yeah...he really said that. Somebody interviews him (Joe Klein, maybe?) when he was campaigning for his father in '88.

Reporter David Fink of the Hartford Courant at the 1988 Republican convention:
"When you're not talking about politics, what do you and (your Dad) talk about?"
George W. Bush: "Pussy".

Classy ....

47. Remember when JFK introduced himself at the state dinner in France as "The man who accompanied
Jackie to Paris." She just bowled them over. She was incandescent.

He is an incurious pig.

What an unmitigated disaster he is - as a human being, let alone as a president.

17. Freedom Fries
Wonder if The Assmonkey In Chief explained to Sarkozy why his people were so scorned after they refused his invitation to participate in the invasion and destruction of Iraq?

I wish this fucking goodbye tour would go on for the next seven months.

18. He really thinks he's the King of the Western World. What an ass...
Once Junior is out of office, no one will have to listen to what he thinks anymore.

His circle of sycophants and ass kissers will soon be much, much smaller.

20. according to the article he did not call her a hot piece of ass, if that's what is implied in the OP
"Mr Bush heaped praise on French first lady Carla Bruni, describing her as 'a really smart, capable woman.' I can see why you married her,' he told the French president in Paris."

29. Okay, here is my point...
You don't talk about sleeping with, marrying, living with, Britney Spears because she is incredibly bright and articulate.

The lady has nothing behind her in life to say anything other than the fact that she is a hot model. It is not possible to look at her and say "wow...she is so insightful." So what you do is you say..."wow, she is insightful, intelligent, you certainly scored one when you married her." (wink...wink).

He caught himself--and said what needed saying.

37. The man is a deep thinker.....
The dolt has the I.Q of a ballpoint pen. Remember when he told the press that he could look into Putin's eyes and tell that he was a straight shooter? Hah! Then Putin proceeded to grind his left leg into dog food. Now he tell's the press that this French version of a pin head is fill of wisdom--because " he tells me (Bush) what's on his mind. And every time I've met with him we've had very meaningful discussions." OK I'm going to guess that by meaningful discussions he's referring to the two times the two dimwits scoured the Riviera with a metal detector looking for shiny objects in the sand.

41. "Well,Well, Well, Haven' t you been keeping good company".
This is the quote given by Bush when meeting the Canadian foreign Affairs minister's girlfriend for the first time at a U.N. Assembly.
Enough said.
