PHOTO: Bush waves his limp wrist at idea of being "a friend to humankind"

[Bluebear]

US President George W. Bush, seen here after his speech in Brussels, joked that he would have liked to bask in widespread European admiration as 'a friend to humankind' -- but that he knew better.

Ha ha ha, George! That's a real humdinger! I'm so proud, that our President would jokingly acknowledge that he is no friend to humankind. Ha ha ha! Those weapons of mass destrction have to be around here somewhere!

6. Here....tries to compare himself to Ben Franklin

You know, on this journey to Europe I follow in some large footsteps. More than two centuries ago, Benjamin Franklin arrived on this continent to great acclaim. An observer wrote, "His reputation was more universal than Leibnitz or Newton, Frederick or Voltaire, and his character more beloved and esteemed than any or all of them." The observer went on to say, "There was scarcely a peasant or a citizen who did not consider him as a friend to human kind." I have been hoping for a similar reception -- (laughter) -- but Secretary Rice told me I should be a realist. (Laughter.)

Flying there-under, under the radar, see?!
