"I don't think the American people understand how big Indonesia is."
(Junior Bush in Indonesia.)

Speak for yourself, you %$#$% moron! What a horrible embarrassment he is.

http://www.comcast.net/news/index.jsp?cat=GENERAL&fn=/2006/11/20/524806.html

Bush told the Indonesian leader: "You lead a large and diverse nation with a very bright future."

Commenting on Indonesia's ethnic diversity and size, Bush said, "I don't think the American people understand how big Indonesia is."

It was the second Indonesian stop of his presidency. Neither time has he spent the night, nor more than a few hours, the result of safety concerns in a place where emotions run hot about the Iraq war and his staunch support of Israel.

8. Measures everyone's corn in his own half-bushel
He thinks everyone is a reflection of himself...some kind of narcissitic personality disorder, I think. No empathy, no understanding, no imagination. That's why he doesn't know when he looks like a moron because he thinks everyone would behave exactly as he behaves in the same circumstances. If his opponents had his information, he thinks, they would take the same actions. He cannot fathom a different reaction and if, as with the protests, he is faced with a reaction that is not his exactly like his own, those poor misguided people must be unable to comprehend him just as he cannot comprehend them. Expecting anything else from GWB is like asking a dog to appreciate music...he can hear it but he cannot reach out from within to discover meaning behind the notes.

presidential elections, is just how STUPID you are.

This guy is such an embarrassment.

7. Projecting again, Smirky?
Because you have the intellect of a tree sloth (my apologies to sloths) doesn't mean the rest of us are equally dim.
:grr:
