God knows I'm not a fan of his but this made me feel kind of sorry for him. I can't decide whether he was being polite and asking when would be a good time or whether he really does need somebody to tell him when to do everything. The second would be a real worry.

Go for the latter.  It's more hilarious.

Yesterday I read a story about how his aides are too afraid to tell him stuff because he's so horrible to them, that they kind of didn't really talk about Katrina until it was way too fucked.  They were afraid of what he'd do if they asked him to cut his vacation short.

Hilarious in one way, but bloody terrifying in another  :o

I guess it works as long as the people who are telling him what to do know what they're doing.

Well, we could debate that for hours.  There's a reason Dick Cheney goes by "Dick"... ;)

See, that's just it about him.  It takes a fucking hurricane to get through to him.  Wars, depression, environmental disaster, fiscal crisis...people had to die here on our doorstep for him to "get it".  

What. A. Jackass.

His tombstone will read:

Here lies W.  The W stands for "what the fuck were we thinking"  :)

Then why the fuck did WE vote for him?!  Not me, but the rest of this country.  I just don't get it.  Are we that stupid?  Seems like it. ???

From what I hear it wasn't the hurricane that got through to him, it was the polls.

By the way, I read about some graffiti in a public lavatory saying "if you voted for Bush you can't crap here - your asshole is in Washington". I thought it was kind of funny - you could apply it to any winning polititian.

This is the problem with the country, SENSATIONALISM. A) I do not like Georgie in the least, but the dude had to take a leak. B)WTF was this dude taking a picture of what the president is writing in an important meeting? I'm all for freedom of the press, but seriously, WTF?

I'll second this. I despise his politics and think he is a dangerous, spoiled, buffoon of a public servant, but I think the last bit of that story about him not knowing the protocol for exiting a UN meeting and asking Rice for advice probably has merit.

There is a seemingly infinite amount of serious misdeeds for which he should be held accountable and deserves public scorn.  This ain't one of them and should be a non-story and should never have been exploited by Reuters.  It distracts from his real ineptitudes and foolish decisions when the public should be focused on taking him to task for the important things he screws up.

I completely agree. Well said.

While I don't envy you your leader, I do envy the fact that you have a republic.

I don't believe it. I don't believe it at all. The system is flawed for sure. I just believe that there's something fundamentally wrong with having an hereditory head of state. I don't want to be anybody's 'subject'.

i definitely agree with you there, that just seems outdated in all ways.  i believe when any government's main purpose stops being the overseeing of the well being of its citizens, its flawed.  where do you live, doctor?

I live in England. I have nothing against the queen. I think she's wise and very sharp. I admire her sense of duty. She had the chance to go to Canada in the war but stayed and drove an ambulance. She was only 18. Her heir, on the other hand, is a 57 year old spoilt brat. But it doesn't matter what I think of them, the principle is that it's wrong for anybody to be anybody else's subject. I've heard Prince Charles refer to people as such on TV. It made me sick.

It's made me think about the word 'republican'. I consider myself to be one, but I certainly wouldn't be one in the US. It means something very different in Ireland, too. Interesting.

I wonder how the other Europeans feel about their monarchies, which seem to me much less pompous than ours.

Let's not forget that W's daddy was president too.  Though W wasn't handed the job it was a sort of birthright.  In America there are a collection of politician producing families.  It is hereditory in a sense, but not to the extent of having actual kings and queens.  That does seem a bit outdated.

And you make a good point.  In America, Republician doesn't mean that you support a Republic, I don't know what it means any more, but it certainly doesn't mean that.  Just as Democratics don't necessarily support our government as a democracy.  I'd say about 90% of our citizenry couldn't even tell you our actual form of government is due to this.  Everyone says that we are a democracy, but we are not.  In a democracy the people rule directly.  We are a representative republic that elects their leaders democratically.  Anyway, that was your American Civics lesson for the day, class.  That stuff just gets on my nerves.
