Laura Bush on Belgian TV in 2005..."my husband is not a dangerous man."

[madfloridian]

I received this from a friend there by email in early 2005, and I posted about it here. I would love to find the reference again. I tried the Wayback Machine, but language seems to be getting in the way. What I have was translated by him, and I did part from Babel Fish. Here is a rough account of it:

Translation in part from my Belgium friend:
SNIP..."Laura Bush to the Europeans: " My husband is not dangerous "

BRUSSELS ( AFP) - The American president George W. Bush is a " man of heart " and is " no dangerous man ", asserted his wife Laura in a conversation spread(diffused) on a Belgian television on Monday evening.

" My husband is not a dangerous man. It is a man of heart and I hope that people see him(it) ", declared Mrs Bush on the deprived (private)? television channel RTL-TVI."

Le président américain George W. Bush est un "homme de coeur" et n'est "pas un homme dangereux", a affirmé lundi soir son épouse Laura dans un entretien diffusé sur une télévision belge.

Yes, Laura, he is a dangerous man. If you felt the need to say such way back in February 2005...then you knew it, too.

Here is a translation I got just now on Babel Fish of the remarks in French above by Tim Sloan.

American president George W. Bush is a "noble-hearted man" and is not "not a dangerous man", affirmed Monday evening its Laura wife in a maintenance diffused on a Belgian television.

See how confused it sounds? I wish I could find the original.

1. He's "Mr. Danger"

Viva Hugo!

[madmunchie]

2. The fact that she even says that speaks volumes

[MadMaddie]

3. I was thinking the same thing...

[TankLV]

4. "I am NOT a crook!"

...so stop thinkin' that!...

Sorry honey, you and your entire family are a blot on humanity, and future conversations will put them in the company of Hitler, Stalin, etc. - but with a uniquely "bush" family twist...

5. Yes, a blot on humanity.

:hi:

My friend in Belgium said there was a video clip with it...I sure wish someone could find it. I have done searches but the language holds me back.

10. he doesn't have the courage to say it himself, so Capt. Courage sent his wife to spread the word

[Cha]

6. bush is the devil..that speaks

for itself. laura bush lies cause she can't go around telling the truth about her deranged husband. She has to live with the asshole.

7. Now, now, it's just one murderer defending another killer...

:evilgrin:

8. I just realized what else he said on that tour.

At least the dates are right...no wonder she felt the need to defend the bastard.

"After all, Europe is America's closest ally."—Mainz, Germany, Feb. 23, 2005

"This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous. And having said that, all options are on the table."—Brussels, Belgium, Feb. 22, 2005

I hear that "all options on the table" quote a lot, but I had forgotten he said it in Belgium.

9. Well, he doesn't qualify as a man in my book...

I'll give her that much.
