"I thought you were going to ask about the pig."


This evening I was watching "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central. Jon was covering the President's European press conference. In comic coverage, America's Commander In Chief managed to use the word pig in response to three different questions..

In his "thank you for inviting me to Germany" intro GWB mentioned how much he looks forward to his promised pig meat. "I've been told I might even get to cut the pig." The second went something like, "I'm looking forward to that pig."

I was sitting on my couch watching these clips and I began to wonder if this leader of the most powerful nation in the history of the world knew that Muslims and Jews do not eat pig. This is one of the few items they both agree on. I soon realized that Bush has topped himself. He managed to piss off fundamentalist Jews and Muslims in the same press conference.

That said, Bush's third response takes the cake. In answering a pointed question about his take on the Isreali, Palestinian, Lebanon sitation our Supreme Leader stated, "I thought you were going to ask about the pig." With a stand-up routine like that, it appears our leader is auditioning for a comedy career. But, his jokes seem to be lost on the europeans. Not to worry. The hometown press usually laughs along with his "jokes." As Mel Brooks said, "Its good to be the king!"

Will America Lead?

Hey! You got peanut buter in my chocolate...
The quote was too good to pass up for a headline. We'll hammer him from both ends.


Great minds think alike, I guess. ;-)

And, checking out the title of your blog...Expect nothing from this administration. Condomleeza is a Soviet specialist and she's completely out of her depth dealing with this fast-moving middle east stuff.

The Israelis are just dancing around her in circles, like the mini-me to the Bush Junta, doing what they want, when they want, because they can.

The only leadership we can expect is in the direction of the next pig roast. This crew has nothing to gain politically from stability or peace anywhere on the planet. The chaos will keep people feeling anxious and easier to manipulate.

Have Skunk,

Thank you for your comments.

If America is to lead, we need to change right now.

'08 is too late!
