Bush To Filipino President

[pokerfan]

"Madam President, it is a pleasure to welcome you back to the Oval Office. We have just had a very constructive dialogue. First, I want to tell you how proud I am to be the President of a nation that -- in which there's a lot of Philippine-Americans. They love America and they love their heritage. And I reminded the President that I am reminded of the great talent of the -- of our Philippine-Americans when I eat dinner at the White House."

1. Is there any group he hasn't insulted?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

2. which president was he reminding?

[az chela]

3. What an embarresment he is to this country and everyone in it

[havocmom]

4. Must be a writers' strike at the WH. He was more fucked up than usual

He is the fuckeduppedest!

[marmar]

5. Good gawd what a jackass!

Right up there with "Welcome to La Casa Blanca" and "I didn't know you had black people in Brazil." The man is a walking, talking, tree-climbing diplomatic disaster.

[paparush]

6. That's on par with him asking the Brazilian president if they have blacks there.

7. nonfunctioning illiterate and a guy who shot his friend in the face running the country and 2 wars.

does anyone ever just get overwhelmed by that, like it's some terrible satire "America, that movie!". When i hear the lastest horribly embarrassing thing that comes out of bush's gaping maw it just hits me all at once, all of it.

10. Like a baseball bat. n/t

8. Did he congratulate the Israeli Ambassador for the great work Bush's Jewish accountant does? n/t

[MuseRider]

9. Nah...he really did not say that did he?

Seriously? This has to be a joke.

Really. Not a surprise but always a surprise ya know? How totally dumb can one single person be? He is a walking Darwin Award waiting to eliminate himself by stupidity. Better late than never I suppose.

I do not think there is a single group of people or even a single person that he has not mindlessly insulted.

11. Is the Dude THAT STUPID??? 49.08 million Phillipinos in Cal alone??? HELLO?

McClone is gonna have a rough ride for sure

I am sure he was drunk...watch the clip....the man was on the nip.

12. Damn, sounds like all he knows about the Philippines and Filipinos

are what he heard from his daddy's sea stories.

How very disgustingly pre-1960; until then, Mess Cook and Ship's Service were about the only jobs Filipinos could have in the Navy.

13. Apparently the only contact he's had with Filipinos is in their capacity as servants

Bush was extremely ignorant of the world before he became President, having rarely traveled abroad. It looks like seven+ years as America's primary face to the world have done nothing to broaden his knowledge.

14. Exactly. At least he didn't puke on her.
