Bush sneaks into Pakistan "like a thief in the night".
Those are the words of Hasan Zaidi, NBC News, Pakistan, as spoken on Hardball minutes ago. Bush slunk in in the middle of the night without landing, wing, or interior lights. Tweety just said he came in "like a drug dealer". There you have it, folks. The leader of the free world.

4. Mushy ain't so popular in Pakistan these days
I would have met Mushy somewhere other than Pakistan.

5. He never was

He came to power in a military coup. bin Laden is a folk hero for many in his country, he knows this and treads a fine line.

15. Their tolerance for Mushy plummeted after the last drone attack
I think his days are numbered.

12. You're right, sorry. The people still hate him though, so why's he
there? Heaven help us all if something happens to him while he's there. We'll be in ANOTHER damn war!

13. I don't know. I don't know why he is wandering around the globe
pretending he has a clue.

Not too many people want to hear anything he has to say.

He shouldn't be allowed to leave our borders for all of our sakes.

14. That was my first thought.
How fucking stupid do you have to be to make a deal offering American nuclear technology to India just days before visiting India's arch enemy, the other half of the uneasy nuclear stand-off which currently exists in south Asia? That goes WAY beyond tone-deaf.
