that only explains the good old texan attitude against .. anything

yup

so we may safely conclude that Bush's brain started hurting and -of course- he shot it? now the amazing part of this is that it suggests he once had a brain

maybe it is more amazing that he managed to hit it?

well that's only a bit amazing key issue is that he doesn't have it any more

they say you can hit anything with a magnum 45 - or a cruise missile

anyway, let's forget about dubya as fast as possible

yes, let's forget him .. that won't be easy, since le left quite a mess to clean up.

I wonder why we let something relatively important as electing the american president to americans? history shows they hardly ever made good choices .. but .. well, let's throw in some optimism .. this time they definitely did vote for the best candidate .. whatever that means

clinton, kennedy, roosevelt, lincoln, jefferson, washington...

there have been quite a few decent presidents - from both parties

we just haven't seen too many of them in our lifetime

"both parties" - that's one of the big problems

don't worry, he will not be alone

the thought of choosing only one person to lead an entire nation - let alone one of this size an power - is of course absurd

he will of course have a lot of people to help him and guide him

you mean like Bush had a whole team to ..

wellll ..

of course

Just imagine if he hadn't had them!

so if I understand correctly .. the whole team must have been incompetent .. IQ around room temperature .. in Celsius degrees ..

i'm afraid there is more to it than that

a lot more

but, lets suppose (for the sake of the argument) he had wanted to nuke the 'axis of evil'

i have this vague feeling that colin powell and condy rice would have adviced him to take a cold shower instead

.. maybe, yes ..

I noticed some of the comments Pravda made on Condy Rice .. they were not nice, not friendly and sometimes rather personal and I really don't think she'd do *all* that they suggested

well, would you?

well at least one of the options would be biologically impossible for me

I mean .. I'm a hippo, not a pig

i... don't see - in fact i do my best not too
