Isn’t it great having a frat boy as president?
From the Telegraph:
Amazing. Real news sounds more and more like The Onion these days.
And this comes after the earlier faux pas:
When I first heard that story, it was teased on the radio with "An embarrassing moment today at the G8 summit..." and I immediately knew it was something to do with Bush.
From the Telegraph:
The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter."
He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.
Mr Bush, whose second and final term as President ends at the end of the year, then left the meeting at the Windsor Hotel in Hokkaido where the leaders of the world's richest nations had been discussing new targets to cut carbon emissions.
Amazing. Real news sounds more and more like The Onion these days.
And this comes after the earlier faux pas:
Mr Bush also faced criticism at the summit after Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian Prime Minister, was described in the White House press pack given to journalists as one of the "most controversial leaders in the history of a country known for government corruption and vice".
The White House apologised for what it called "sloppy work" and said an official had simply lifted the characterisation from the internet without reading it.

They mocked him for his behavior on "Wait wait" on NPR Saturday. He apparently called out to Berlusconi by addressing him as 'Amigo!' He's such an embarrassment.
