Bush in Bali, faking it.
Bush is stopping in Bali "to meet with moderate Muslim leaders." They say he is trying to soften the image of the US as being anti-Muslim. What a fake he is. His General Boykin, his Rev Franklin Graham and his Revs. Falwell and Robertson have already spoken for him.

1. Will he tell them that his God is bigger than their God?
Or that they worship an idol?

Just thought I'd ask.

7. That is as likely as the Muslims telling him that
Let's face it. Each religion considers other religions to be false.

2. Fuck that shit, he doesn't need Robertson, Boykin, and Graham to speak for
him.
Bush has done a good job of making sure everyone knows that this is about religion.

He reffered to our war on terror as a "crusade", and he dismissed Islam as a "phony religion"

12. One of the speeches after 9/11, I don't have a transcript but I saw it
And I remember it very clearly because it pissed me off at the time (quite severly, in fact). I really will try to find the speech in which he says that.

Mainly, what pissed me off was how he just said it in passing, as though it were a competely justifible statement and as though it were fact...

13. I was in Europe when he used the "crusade" line.
What a jerk. It turned a lot of people against him. The papers were full of criticism about that stupid announcment.

Like father, like son. I hope these guys remember to wear plastic bags over their shoes.





Edit: Seems like we're not the only ones who see a close resemblance between W and chimps.
