Hey! I think we can all agree that my liberal-monkey line was not in any way "mindless". Sure, I bashed the liberals good, but it was carefully constructed and thoughtfully presented.
If I was mindless I'd have said:

Liberals baaaaaaaad.
Bush gooooooood.

I might be some highy edumakated book learnin big city lawyer, but I come from a small town in the hills of West, By God, Virginia (parents from different sides of the mountain insuring at least a two generation seperation) and to plain folk like us, "people is people" just makes good sense.
I look at everybody the same. Rich lady with expensive lawyer gets 3 days for a 1st DUI, she thinks its unfair. Poor black fella can't afford a lawyer gets 3 days for a first time DUI and guess what...he thinks its unfair. Now it might be unfair, but its equally unfair. Now liberals...they put themselves above the rest because they know best...just ask them. Conservatives are expect to run their own race, and you run yours and we'll meet as equals at the bottom. Liberals hate racing. Its not fair for someone to win or lose. So everybody loses...except the liberal, because thats not fair.

that Hero is not interested in dialogue. There is usually one consistency to his posts, he will find a way (sometimes one sentence sometimes paragraphs) to mock liberals. So I treat his posts accordingly. I am constantly revising my opinions so if Hero actually shows signs of engaging in a discussion, absent the blanket attacks, and it's a discussion I have an opinion on then I'll be there. Until then I will mock him for his one-dimensionality.
Thanks for the critque, and an honost ones are scarce these days. My posting is limited by my court schedule. If I have time I discuss, often in depth on a variety of issues. But there is so much anti-Bush sentiment by some people and so many outragous or untrue comments, that I do poke fun and poke holes and sometimes poke funny holes.
Anyway, thanks. And good luck. Certain people hate the whole "writing words and expressing thoughts that don't exactly mirror our own" thing. I call those people "liberals" but some refer to them as Canadian, Democrats, FOX TV executives, and occaisonally the French.

Rue. Maybe you got confused about the real source of the article you quoted. It's not the Washington Post, but a blog on Huffingtonpost.com.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cenk-uygur/the-ugly-truth-our-presi_b_25
257.html
The blog does provide a link to the G-8 transcript in the Washington Post, but the Washington Post provides none of the editorial comment you put up.
But let's take the G-8 conversation from where you left off:
Quote:
British Prime Minister Tony Blair approaches.
Bush : Blair, what are you doing? You leaving?
Blair : No, no, no, not yet.
Blair, standing over Bush as the president eats, tries to engage on the stalled global trade negotiations.
Blair : On this trade thing . . .
Some of the ensuing conversation is inaudible. Blair evidently wants Bush to make a statement on the talks.
Bush : If you want me to. I just want some movement. Yesterday, I didn't see much movement. The desire's to move.
Blair : No, no there's not. It may be that it's impossible.
Bush : I'll be glad to say it. Who's introducing me?
Blair : Angela. [German Chancellor Angela Merkel ]
Bush : Tell her to call on me. Tell her to put me on the spot.
Bush then changes the subject, presumably to a gift Blair must have given him for his recent 60th birthday.
Bush : Thanks for the sweater. Awfully thoughtful of you. I know you picked it out yourself.
Blair : Oh, absolutely.
Both of them laugh. Then Bush turns serious, asking Blair about comments apparently made about the Middle East crisis by U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, another guest at the summit.
Bush : What about Kofi? That seems odd. I don't like the sequence of it. His attitude is basically ceasefire and [then] everything else happens. You know what I'm saying?
Blair : Yeah. No, I think -- the thing that's really difficult is we can't stop this unless you get this international presence agreed. Now, I know what you guys have talked about but it's the same thing.
The next remarks are inaudible, but the conversation turns to U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice.
Blair : . . . see how reliable that is. But you need that done quickly.
Bush : Yeah, she's going. I think Condi's going to go pretty soon.
Blair : Right. Well, that's, that's, that's all that matters. If you -- see, it'll take some time to get out there. But at least it gives people a --
Bush : A process, I agree. I told her your offer too.
It's unclear what offer he means, but apparently Blair offered to make some sort of public statement.
Blair : Well, it's only if it's -- I mean, you know, if she's gotta -- or if she needs the ground prepared, as it were. Obviously, if she goes out, she's got to succeed, as it were, whereas I can just go out and talk.
Bush : See, the irony is what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit, and it's over.
Blair : Who, Syria?
Bush : Right.
Blair : I think this is all part of the same thing. What does he think? He thinks if Lebanon turns out fine, if we get a solution in Israel and Palestine, Iraq goes in the right way, he's [inaudible ] . That's what this whole thing's about. It's the same with Iran.
Bush : I felt like telling Kofi to get on the phone with Assad and make something happen. We're not blaming Israel. We're not blaming the Lebanese government."
At this point, Blair notices the microphone and turns it off.
Sounds like two friendly heads of state having a private conversation about issues discussed at the G-8 and their responses to them: try to get the trade talks moving, see about Secretary General Annan's peace proposal, see when Secretary Rice can make a Middle-East trip to get a peace process moving, try to get Secretary General Annan to have back-channel talks with Syria about reining in Hezballah. Not very much imbecilic at all, aside from the bad joke about the birthday sweater.

The difference between me and you, Hero, is that I talk about you and Bush, and YOU talk about "liberals" and "democrats". Of course, you're the first to say that "liberals" put themselves "above everybody". Not that you're prejudiced* or anything. I'm just sayin'. I don't put myself above whole swaths of people. Just Bush.

Fair enough. If I wasn't working on the computer all day I would probably take more of a shotgun, rather than a rifle, approach myself.

It’s obvious that there are differing opinions of this president here and, believe it or not, I do respect everyone’s right to their own views. The thing that I can’t understand is how can anyone who has seen Bush in action, his mannerisms, his speech, his often “deer in the headlights” blank stare, not to mention some of his less than brilliant executive decisions and still think that this guy has what it takes to be a world leader. Have the majority of people in this country been reduced to the intelligence level of a squid to have such profoundly poor insight? (No offense to the squid).
As someone who has had to endure GW as governor as well as president – not to mention his stint as managing partner of one of the states baseball teams – I think I can say that I’ve seen more than enough of this guy.
I don’t like to demean, degrade or otherwise slander anyone. I have on occasion said and posted some pretty ugly things about Shrub. I’m here to tell you, that I’m standing by those statements. I don’t make these statements based on any one political affiliation either. I have in the past voted for people in every party out there – but these neo-cons are losing me big time. The Republican Party is defiantly a machine – they find a message and stick to it, no matter who gets trampled in the process. The Democrats seem to try and represent everyone and as such become a divided party. Independents and Libertarians are left to suck hind tit, so to speak. Where is the party that represents the politically disenfranchised? Do we have nothing better to look forward to than more of the same, that is, inept leaders who are only concerned with their own political aspirations and greed? Jeb Bush? Hilary Clinton? Let’s just elect Satan and ride that hand basket straight to hell.
