Did anyone hear Bush today at his cabinet meeting say:
"international law, let me call my lawyer." WTF! He was referring to the fact that intl. law is saying that his leaving certain countries off the bid process for Iraq may be illegal. I almost fell on the floor. Forget about this specific incident. He's basically saying intl. law anywhere is a fucking joke to U.S., we'll do what we want regardless of anybody's law! But oh god if someone else doesn't follow intl. law when it comes to americans. Nobody even blinked an eye about it. This is just getting totally beyond comprehension. I just wish another intl. leader would use his shit against him. What if Bin-laden is caputered by Pakistan and Mushareff (s/p) says sorry, no intl. law says I have to turn him over to U.S. Iraq & N. Korea should say we don't have to let you inspect our nuclear program. Huh! What is that some intl. law? Ha-ha, let me call my lawyer!!! UN-FUCKEN-BELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. Yep, I nearly fell out of my chair, too
What an arrogant ass he is.

That was also the end of the questions, he cut it off then.

I mentioned this to a friend of mine and he said, "Gawd, he's so unpresidential!" What's ironic is that there are probably plenty of Repubs who love that side of *'s personality.

3. Out of Control
This is why he is such a failure in life. An arrogant dope. All that was missing was "Bring em on"

5. Judging from his stance on Ken Lay
that sounds about right.

8. Here's my rant on the matter:
Edited on Fri Dec-12-03 03:37 AM by SeveneightyWhoa
"International law? Let me call my lawyer".

This pricks smugness, arrogance, and plain unadulterated braindead chimplike stupidity is beyond words. The above quote by Mr Bush just shows how much this guy gives a single solitary fuck about anything--none. A question to his supporters: Why on earth do you support a living, breathing, piece of shit to represent your country and lead the world? Doesnt it bother people that the smug, arrogant, greedy little cunt is leading America to its downfall? ANY support for this cocksucking slimeball is THE DEFINITION of anti-Americanism at this point. Put simply: If you support Bush, you are unpatriotic. A man can show no greater love for his country in the 21st century than by actively promoting the removal of fascist, neandrathalian elements from your government. There is no better way to support the cause of freedom and democracy.

Bye bye Bush--2004, real patriots will make their votes count, and not even your buddies at Diebold can stop 'em.

9. Saw it as I was flipping channels and caught CNN...
and damn near crapped myself.

The exact tone he used when making fun of Carla Faye Tucker. Called a few fellow travellers about it, and they near crapped themselves, too. This is a new low even for Shrub.

Now, note that I have heard soundings from a few international lawyers, and there is a bit of a question over whether what he is doing is legal or not, so it's not a closed case by any means.

On the other hand, he is mocking international law, which is not exactly proper conduct for a world leader.

And, note that this is all precipitated by his latest demand that not only should nonparticipants in his war be denied contracts for the rebuilding, but that they also forgive the Iraqi debts they are owed.

The arrogance is unimaginable, and this will bite him back one way or another.
