Here’s a gem (via Crowley) from Bush’s White House media event this week with Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi.
“I’ve reminded the Prime Minister — the American people, Mr. Prime Minister, over the past months that it was not always a given that the United States and America [sic] would have a close relationship.”
Well, no, not since Mr. “Uniter, Not Divider” came along….
Thank you Mr. President, for acknowledging that there is a difference between the government (the United States) and the country (America). Frequently, loyalty to the latter requires opposition to the former.
A good recent example would be LCDR Charles Swift, who reaffirmed the rule of law by bringing Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (which strengthened America) and in retaliation the Navy (the United States) has destroyed his career. As he said yesterday, “Nobody loves the Navy as much as I do. One
thing that has been a great revelation for me is that you may
love the military, but it doesn’t necessarily love you.”
Thank god for true heroes like LCDR Swift, particularly in the face of this mendacious sonofabitch who currently resides in the White House.
Was he trying to say that the US and Japan wouldn’t have a close relationship — in front of the Japanese Prime Minister?
Bush’s America has been at war with the United States for the past six years now. Nothing untrue or ironic about this statement at all.
America needs a declaration of independence from Bush’s version of the United States.
Boy George II is being weird in so many ways with this.
Is this his idea of diplomacy?
Is this his idea of English?
I’d like to make English the ‘Official’ language of the United States just so we could throw Boy George II out of office for not being able to speak it.

Now THAT could be an awesome sound-byte from the Democrats!
The entire Bush clan is entirely too clever by half when it comes to saying stupid things in public. Their handlers realize full well that as long as the American public generally sees them as well-meaning bumblers, the real issues get lost.
No one could really be as idiotic as the Bush clowns appear to be and actually stay in power. Reagan’s handlers relied on his star status to paint a pleasant bumbler image. The Bush clan MUST be just acting stupid as their wealth comes from business sources (however venal these are).
A (very) inadvertantly brilliant statement by the prez or a Freudian revelation, I don’t know which. Behind the incoherent grammar there is a big grain of truth in his comment which others above have noticed.
