[leftofthedial]

"Is that all right if I call you a piece of work?"

1. Is this a quote?

Is there a link?

[JohnnyRingo]

3. It was a quote...I was watching live

He mentioned that he feared it "wouldn't translate well".
I think he's right.

[BurtWorm]

6. Who's a piece of work?

:shrug: Who was he talking about or to?

[JohnnyRingo]

7. I wasn't sure, but he spoke English with a French accent

Perhaps their Prime Minister?
It wasn't Cherac, and I didn't recognize him or catch his nom.

I'm certain we'll all hear more of this soon.

[BurtWorm]

9. It was an emissary of the French government?

Where was this? What's the context?

[leftofthedial]

8. the prime minister of Belgium

who is among a group of EU representatives forced to put up with the bushturd during a visit to the white house

[BurtWorm]

11. Ah, thank you.

And did the PM say, "Tu es un espece de merde!"

[leftofthedial]

14. under his breath

If looks could kill . . .

[JohnnyRingo]

2. Hahahaha...I couldn't believe he thinks that's a complimentary term

Wait til the euro press researches the context of the term and realizes that everone from Billy Carter to Charles Manson have been referred to as "A real piece of work". Hhahahaha, Whatta a dumbass.

I couldn't believe his defence of John Bolton either. Telling the Euros that he's coming to "reform the UN", like they'll welcome that.

I notice too, that whenever asked difficult questions, he always "appreciates it".

Hahahahahaha....He's an embarassing monkey

[ailsagirl]

4. We're the laughingstock of the world with that moron as prez

(though I don't consider him prez, since he stole the election)

[CottonBear]

5. Did he actually say that? My lord. n/t

[leftofthedial]

10. he called the PM of Belgium a "real piece of work"

then said "that might not translate well."

then leaned over the podium and looked at him and asked if it was alright.

[helderheid]

15. Oh good fucking GOD

Stick a piece of tape on his mouth! GAAAWWD!

[leftofthedial]

20. what's worse was the context

he was trying to say that all these European leaders (Belgium, Luxembourg, etc.) are his allies in the war on terror. But instead he said they hadn't always agreed and that some of these leaders had been outspokenly critical of "some of what we're tryin' ta do."

Then he gave the Belgian PM as an example of someone who is outspoken and articulate. That's when he called him a "piece of work."

[CottonBear]

18. Oh no. How perfectly awful. I am speechless.

Jesus Christ on a trailer hitch! :(

[MisterP]

24. shrub actually likes his neolib Quasimodo

[TheUnspeakable]

12. Hey ** is that all right if I call you a piece of shit? n/t

[sojourner]

13. So it was Bush who called an International Leader this?

Not vice-versa? (Cuz I could see Bush thinking it was a compliment if said about himself - he's that stupid).

[leftofthedial]

16. bushturd said it

but was trying to make it sound like a compliment

[jimshoes]

17. Guy's got the class

of an amoeba.

[leftofthedial]

19. I'm more disgusted by him everytime I hear that whiny fake drawl

and I didn't think it was possible to get any more disgusted

[lonestarnot]

21. Puke puke puke

everytime I see that fake fuckface!:puke:

[mopaul]

22. what a fucking piece of work is bush---to quote the bard

[leftofthedial]

23. he's a piece of something
