Yeah - I just watched "Man of the Year" with Robin Williams, and all I can say is - I wish all the politicians were as honest as his character was in that film.

grrr


I wish just one of them was...

The day Bush killed off Nelson Mandela
By DAVID GARDNER
21st September 2007


Nelson Mandela assured the world that, contrary to the impression given by the President of the United States, reports of his demise were greatly exaggerated. Even for a statesman as blunder-prone as George Bush, it was a gaffe of toe-curling proportions. The president's latest faux pas came as he tried to draw a tortuous link between the revered former South African leader and the sectarian violence in Iraq.

Defending his stand on the war, Mr Bush said Saddam Hussein's brutality had made it impossible for a unifying leader to emerge and halt the civil warfare that has torn Iraq apart. "I heard somebody say, 'Where's Mandela?'" said Mr Bush. "Well, Mandela's dead because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas," he added, to the general bemusement of the White House press corps.

The South African authorities were besieged with calls after Mr Bush's speech, which was carried live by TV news networks. Many viewers feared the country's first black president and Nobel Peace Prize winner had died.

Jailed for 27 years by the former apartheid government in South Africa, Mr Mandela remained a constant thorn in the side of the white minority government. His office put out an assurance that, at 89. he was very much alive.

Well you see, "democracy" is a truly wonderful system. Not only did it give the world the Bush dynasty, but also Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and last but not least, Adolf Hitler.

Brilliant!

My compliments,

TheCaptain.

Revealed ... Bush's guide to those funny foreign names
26th September 2007

George Bush's battle to pronounce complicated words has been laid bare after White House officials mistakenly released an unedited copy of his UN speech, complete with phonetic spellings. The script of the President's address to the 192-nation UN General Assembly, which was accidentally distributed to journalists, revealed he is given a phonetic guide to key foreign names including countries and their leaders.

Among those contained in the speech were "Keyr-geez-stan", the name of Zimbabwean president Robert "Moo-gah-bee" and the name of his new French ally, President "Sar-kozee". However he was given no help with the pronunciation of the Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, whose name he duly stumbled over. The President is famous for his verbal slipups. He has particular problems with the word "nuclear", is prone to coining made-up words such as "misunderestimate", and once forgot the name of President Musharraf of Pakistan.

According to David Frum, a former Bush speechwriter, all presidential speeches contain phonetic guides, but passing the unedited version to the press was an "oversight". Despite the mix-up, the speech was described as eloquent.

Mr Bush urged member states to join in a "mission of liberation" and predicted that the "long rule of a cruel dictator is nearing its end" in Cuba. His words caused anger among the Cuban delegation, who walked out, calling the speech "arrogant and mediocre".

Most of the US delegation in turn left the room when President Ahmadinejad rose to speak, reiterating that Iran's nuclear programme was "completely peaceful and transparent".
