Re: Bush on The Daily Show

I was watching The Daily Show the other day, and they showed footage from Bush's meeting with a couple of EU officials. The footage they chose to show was of Bush reflecting on the character of the officials he'd had lunch with.
A reporter from Luxembourg asked a question, and Bush responded with, "your Prime Minister... he's an... interesting guy, I had a good time talking with him and a good lunch. You know, I'd want to say he's a real piece of work, but I don't know how that will translate." Bush then turned to the Prime Minister (who looked very perplexed by the way), and asked him, "do you mind if I call you a piece of work?"
I'm not kidding. |
wow is there a clip of this anywhere?and the sad thing is that this moron is representing a powerful country.

I wish someone would shot him right there when he laughed.

I couldn't find a clip anywhere, but here's the transcript of the press briefing.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/rele...0050620-19.html
The money quote:
]PRESIDENT BUSH: Well, I appreciate that. First, the relations with Europe are important relations, and they've -- because we do share values. And they're universal values -- they're not American values or European values, they're universal values. And those values, being universal, ought to be applied everywhere. And that's human rights, human dignity, rule of law, transparency when it comes to government, decency. And, obviously, if the EU and the U.S. speak with one voice on these issues, it's more likely to hear -- people will hear it.
I think the friendship between our respective countries in the EU are strong. Obviously, there's been a difference of opinion recently on certain issues, but that doesn't prevent the American people from holding the good folks of Luxembourg or Portugal in high esteem. There's a lot of traffic between our country, a lot of tourism, a lot of trade, a lot of commerce between individual countries within the EU and the United States. And that's because of mutual respect and the desire for people to get to know the world better.
In terms of your Prime Minister, he's an interesting guy. (Laughter.) He's a lot of fun to be around. He promotes serious business in a way that endears himself to people. And so I think his presidency has been an important presidency for the EU during difficult times, and he's handled it well. And I was going to say he's a piece of work, but that might not translate too well. Is that all right, if I call you a "piece of work"? (Laughter.)
PRESIDENT JUNCKER: Okay.
