Bush pokes fun at himself at dinner

[rev]

Congrats to whatever writer wrote that little scene (what, you think Presidents write their press dinner speeches themselves?). I thought it was funny and I hate Bush's administration with all my heart and soul.

Good guy to have a beer with, not a good guy to make the most powerful man in the country.

Most of us don't get the opportunity to take our country to war over stuff like that - and one would normally hope those that do have opportunity pass it up.

I fail to see anything wrong with it.

Most of you seem like a bunch of whining babies.

The attempted assassination of the POTUS is something we should just ignore?

We didn't ignore it then, even though it remains highly dubious that the Kuwaiti intelligence was correct about the assassination attempt. What does it have to do with a war 10 years later?

Yeah, I have to agree with Gepap. This is a nonissue.

Imagine that, a president with a sense of humor and some posters without.

Imagine that, people unable to recognize sarcasm (at least in my post).

I have no problem with any of it-another non-story. This is as absurd as that scrap about Kerry's off-the record mike moment.

The comedy value is not so high, but then, most self-effacing pols. aren't that funny.

It's been a while since I've done this, but to GePap.

Jay Leno and David Letterman made jokes for months on end about the lack of WMD. Do you think they were trying to deliver "a slap in the face to all the soldiers who fought in the war?"

Were Jay Leno or David Letterman the ones who started that war on the false pretext of there being WMD? That's rather a crucial difference. Do you see a difference between them making jokes about O.J. Simpson and Simpson himself making jokes about murdering his wife?

Let it go, Boris. You're embarassing yourself...

OMG.. the president has a humor.. OMG poly posters as usual make idiots of theirselves.

Don't you think it's a nice change of pace from my embarrassing you?

Regardless, it isn't a major issue for me, either, but it is just one more sign of this administration's arrogance.

Boris, why don't you explain your own arrogance and the arrogance of some many fools on here?

Why don't you explain your own irrational behavior, hurling of expletives and issuance of death threats against anyone who happens to disagree with you? Sorry, but I can't think of anything more arrogant than your proudly stating that anyone who disagrees with you is a traitor.

Death threats? What death threats? Point out some death threats. If you want to level such accusations you better damn well have evidence and not be a Mr. Clarke or Mr. O'Neill. You are the traitor to America and that is my opinion. I full well have the right to voice that opinion.
