Bush: "I don't know what his beef is."

[chookie]

In an interview with Martha Raddetz after the infamous shoe flinging incident, His Chimperial Highness said, "And so, the guy wanted to get on TV and he did. I don't know what his beef is. "

That's our boy, pretending to be utterly clueless to the last, oblivious to the horrific consequences of his actions as President.

The only explanation he can come up with is that the man's action was something positive born out of the freedom that America bestowed upon Iraq.

He glossed over the bit about the man shouting something about Iraqi widows and orphans, and Martha "Bull Dog" Raddetz didn't press him on that part of the incident either.

My fellow Americans -- it could have been worse. He could have misspoken -- again! -- and said something like "I don't know what the man's pork is." Who would have been shocked, especially after describing his GWOT as a "new Crusade" ?

1. Had he the curiosity to ask we would not be in the mess we are in today.

2. I agree

At first I thought "How can he not know the significance of shoes in that culture?"

Then I thought about his actions over the last 8 years.

Oh yeah, nevermind.

3. Um perhaps his beef is that you bombed the fuck out of his country..

and tortured his people? Just a guess...:crazy: :silly:

4. You think he's PRETENDING to be clueless? I think that's just

his normal state.

5. give the man credit

he correctly identified that getting a show throw at you was probably a sign the guy had some sort of beef with him. I mean I would expected him to claim it was shoes throws of happiness and joy.
