Thanks for the article Rue, do you have a source?
I'm not a Bush loyalist (wrong Country) but this article seems highly biased. Just who was Bush actually talking too? Maybe President Jintao's english is not so good so some repitition was necessary. Who entered the conversation? Perhaps it was Putin or another Russian diplomat. Perhaps it was an awkward attempt by Bush to involve all parties in the conversation. I find it highly unlikely, but were there any children at this function?
I'm just sayin' is all.

And then geography for the mentally challenged. China is biiiiig. Russia is biiiiiig. How big Georgie? Stetch you arms. Stretch. Stretch. SOoooo big. Verrrry goOOOoood Georgie. Now you have have your drinkie pooh and your bong.

Not much variation on that theme at all, Hero. Looks like you're still pounding that square peg into anything you can find.
* edited to add: One difference between us, Hero, is that I expect my President to represent our country positively to the world. If I was going to introduce you to one family member, I'd try to pick the smartest most impressive relative I had. You would pick the cousin that nobody talked about who never got invited to Thanksgiving dinner.
So...I'm trying to figure out how "Bush EVIL, Democrat GOOD" is substantively different than "Bush GOOD, liberal BAD". I mean, I know that the players are switched there, but aren't both of those just a tad black-and-white? I'm not defending Bush, nor Hero's defense of Bush. All I'm saying is this relentless Bush-is-the-antiChrist thing is no less ridiculous than Bush-is-the-second coming.
And with all due respect, Soup Catcher, insulting people (even if they did it first) is hardly a good way to dialogue.

Perhaps. I suspect that I the cousins we would invite to our respective dinners and consider smart and impressive would be different. I don't think I'd rely on my family's judgement to make that kind of descision. We don't associate with my late uncles kids, they don't associate with us. Like I said, people is people is people. Even families. Even liberals, except when they are looking in the mirror.

Wait, OK. Did you notice that I didn't take up the issue of Bush being an idiot? Never said he wasn't. Just wanted to interject something about the way we look at politics. I guess what I said didn't quite strike you the right way, so you reverted to your default mode: anyone who disagrees with me in any way must be a Bush supporter, this guy disagrees with me, therefore he's a Bush supporter, therefore he doesn't deserve even a modicum of decent treatment, only insults.
Look, as I see it, there are two extremes, and one middle way with respect to the political worldview. On one extreme, it's Republicans are God's party, they can do no wrong, everything they say is right, Democrats are all evil tree huggers. Utter horseshit. On the other extreme, it's Democrats are going to save this country, every position is the obviously reasonable position, I agree to everything they say, Republicans are all moronic religious fanatics. Also, total crap. Then there's the middle way: some of what the Republicans say is complete hooey, some is not, some of what the Democrats say is B.S., some is not. I'm going to agree with whichever I feel is the stronger argument, regardless of party affiliation.
I was just trying to point out that this kind of behavior, were the situation reversed, would no doubt strike you as inappropriate (as with the Clinton-bashing of the 90s).
And as long as I'm on the board, I'd just like to point out that I'm no great fan of the President: he sent me over to Iraq to sweat my ass off and get shot at on a regular basis in a war that I didn't even agree with in the first place (which is one of the reasons I'm no longer in the military). I may not agree with your Bush-is-the-antiChrist mantra, but I'm not a member of his fanclub, by any stretch.

Holy snap and crap Rue, who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?
I was not refering to any thing else in this thread but your opening article. I thought the purpose of RWED was to foster intelligent debate on topics. There can be no debate when everyone agrees, just a lot of backslapping. If that was the point of this thread, then you should have added to your original post that dissenting viewpoints are not welcome.
Are people in the media spotlight (singers, actors, professional atheletes, politicians etc.) less intelligent than regular folk? Or are their screw-ups just better documented?
