- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+87The guy couldn't find oil in Texas. He's always been a dumbass.
- j1337, on 10/10/2007, -2/+67Sigh...
- reeder, on 10/10/2007, -3/+63OMFG OMFG OMFG. Thank god I voted against him every ***** time, including his runs for governor in Texas. Everyone who did vote for him should have themselves neutered, for the sake of humanity.
- petemcfraser, on 10/10/2007, -1/+59Now countries just let Bush come over for entertainment.
- OfF3nSiV3, on 10/10/2007, -5/+62why did you guys elected him? twice for that matter..
- saiyanate, on 10/10/2007, -1/+49Worst president ever.
- IbnDigg, on 10/10/2007, -4/+48This only tells half the story:
Bushisms were famous before the man even entered the White House. But with his presidency entering its twilight phase, there is no end, it seems, to the steady supply of inadvertent slips of the tongue.
Yesterday he had reached only the third sentence of his address to an audience at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, when he committed his first gaffe.
"Thank you for being such a fine host for the Opec summit," Mr Bush said to the Australian prime minister, John Howard, confusing two completely different groupings of nations. "Apec summit," he quickly corrected himself.
He then joked that Mr Howard had invited him to the Opec summit next year (for the record, an impossibility, since neither Australia nor the US are members of the oil exporting cartel).
That slip paled in comparison with the next gaffe - a slip of the tongue that placed Austrian, not Australian, troops in Iraq.
Talking about Mr Howard's visit to Iraq last year to thank his country's soldiers serving there, Bush called them "Austrian troops".
That one was fixed for him, with the official text released by the White House switching it to "Australian". Tapes of the speech, however, clearly show Mr Bush saying "Austrian".
Then, speech done, Mr Bush confidently headed out - the wrong way. He strode away from the lectern on a path that would have sent him over a steep drop. Mr Howard and others redirected the president to where there were steps leading down to the floor of the theatre.

"Hey all you silly Austrians! Glad to be at this event... the um... whatever the hell you call it, I don't really give a *****, I was lying anyways. Hey, why don't you all send some troops to Iraq like my other bitches do? Oh yea, and don't scratch my jet, it's worth more than your GDP." - rudezombie, on 10/10/2007, -1/+39Jesus, wasn't this a joke in Dumb & Dumber? And this is the president of our country.
- awtripp, on 10/10/2007, -5/+42Most of us didn't -- twice.
- lhbaker, on 10/10/2007, -1/+33This is why parodies of Bush aren't really funny; you can't beat the real thing for genuine amusement.
- lostradamus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+30As a wise woman once said: "Some people in our nation don't have maps"
- kelchm, on 10/10/2007, -2/+31Did you just insult Austria with that title?
//just saying. - awtripp, on 10/10/2007, -1/+29Well, you should look at the numbers. Look at the court cases. Look at the eVoting fraud. You know the stuff that broke how the US elections were supposed to work. Which is why so many people are now left feeling disenfranchised.
- anarchistuk, on 08/11/2009, -0/+25He's a great guy, and I'm a liar...
- djSyndrome, on 10/10/2007, -0/+25You forgot the [/sarcasm] tag there, buddy.
- Damhna, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24This is not at all uncommon , everywhere you go in Austria you see this sign :

They are well used to that mistake in Österreich. - relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -1/+25"Thank you for being such a fine host for the OPEC summit."
Oil on the brain, mister President? - jdoggxperience, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24Darn, why'd they redirect him?
- metapop, on 10/10/2007, -1/+24i'm not even sure what to say here.... just sheer disappointment.
- williamdyer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+24I have been a registered Republican for over 25 years.
George W. Bush is the biggest ***** in American history. Yes, including James Earl Carter.
He has wrecked the Republican party for the sake of a war nobody wants. Who can support that? - Fratm, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24The election was fixed. (Both times!)
- NeoCortex, on 10/10/2007, -1/+22Maybe he just, like, needs to get some more maps. Then he could, you know, find the Iraq and stuff. For, like, the children.
- BostonMa, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21He can't open his mouth without subtracting from the sum of human knowledge.
- LiquidFusion, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23I know people make mistakes, but he's the ***** PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!! This is just embarrassing.
- Bleekster, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19Some people in Australia call a guy like this...a wanker.
- Anub1s, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20Are you saying you weren't expecting this? Come on, Bush is the biggest idiot to disgrace this country with his leadership. Stuff like this is the norm anymore.
- Neiby, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Not really. His comment implies that he wants Bush to be impeached and removed from office soon in order to limit the embarrassment he causes us.
- qwerter, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16To make matters worse (on many levels), most of our country doesn't even vote at all.
- Frei, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Wasn't it Ann Richards that said he was born with a golden foot in his mouth.
- saleem, on 10/10/2007, -3/+19Honestly, how did a C-average spoiled brat from new england get to be the president.
- thailand1972, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16I'm not from the US. My political leanings are toward Republicans though two party races are never nuanced enough to represent my beliefs. Anyway, I just want to say that George Bush is an embarrassment to the modern era.
- appetite, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Is he really a 'recovered' alcoholic?
- Trublmakr, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17C'mon America,. can you not - in a country of 350 million people find a decent enough ventriloquist to cover for this guy when addressing the public?
- 10001110101, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17K, I've got to ask for some proof.. Cause there's no way in hell any zoo in Canada would want that animal.
- williamdyer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Dude, he's the Decider. Austria better have those kangaroos ready for his next visit or there's be hell to pay!
- rune420, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15"The two countries sound almost the same!"
Please be sarcastic. You can't possibly think that it's acceptable for one of the top world leaders to confuse Australia and Austria (much less when he actually was in Australia when he messed it up)! - BossKey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14World leaders love to have their people see Bush with them. It's great PR, especially if you're having image problems. When you're next to Bush, you automatically look like an intelligent, informed, and articulate leader - works every time.
- hellotyler, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14You think gore or kerry could have been worse then Bush ? No...
- djSyndrome, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15And you're obviously deaf.
- geometry, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13You're right. I think Bush did tutor that Miss America hopeful. I think her answer was just slightly more coherent than what Bush would have answered.
- WiseWeasel, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Gee, yeah, it's too much to ask that the man we elect as our leader be articulate enough to avoid embarrassing us abroad. We should be content with any old blithering idiot to handle our foreign relations.
Interacting with the world at large is one of the chief roles of our president, and if he makes our country look like *****, then that's a problem for our foreign interests. - superfusion, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Wasn't this a joke in dumb and dumber? Like, I laughed a lot in 1994 when a comic buffoon made such an obvious mistake. Well, I'm not laughing now. If you voted for this piece of *****, please go hang yourself right now.
(okay, there I was kidding). - jbus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13You feel sorry for him? WTF?
- rudezombie, on 10/10/2007, -6/+18Obviously the people here rolling their eyes & groaning about what a dumbass the guy is didn't vote for him. It's not our fault almost the entire south & midwest is full of idiots. No offense to those of you who aren't idiots.. but c'mon guys.
- arcooke, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Yeah, there's a gas station on every corner.
- MusicMagi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13The guy almost choked to death on a pretzel.. Are we really surprised?
- xornor, on 10/21/2007, -0/+12Idiocy is tolerated in this country because it is in the majority. Unfortunately, people chose to elect someone who represented themselves. It's normal for idiots to have an inferiority complex. This prevents them from promoting someone who is smarter than themselves.
I'm not going to give this guy a break just because everyone who voted for him is a moron. Shouldn't our president be held to a hire standard than Joe working at the car repair shop?? - Damvan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Are you can honestly tell us that things would be worse if either Gore or Kerry would have won?
