Bush reveals his best moment since he took office in 2001
From a BBC article:
President George W Bush has revealed to a German newspaper his best moment since he took office in 2001.
“I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5lb (3.4kg) perch in my lake,” he told Bild am Sonntag.
That’s it? Surely the ‘Let Freedom Reign’ moment when Iraqis had their first free elections would have trumped that one?
The worst moment was the 11 September 2001 hijacked plane attacks on New York and Washington that killed about 3,000.
We can all breathe a sigh of relief that Bush the appropriate answer here. I would hate to think of what else he could have said here.
Of the 9/11 attacks, he said: “In such a situation it takes a while before one understands what is happening.
Ah that rabbit-caught-in-the-headlights look he had when reading My Pet Goat.
In a more serious moment, he said he understood German opposition to the war in Iraq.
“The Germans today simply don’t like war… And I can understand that.
“There is a generation of people whose lives were thrown into complete disarray by a horrible war.”
An amazing grasp of the obvious! Perhaps if he himself hadn’t missed out on the war in Vietnam, he would know that feeling too.
Pretty funny stuff indeed. Yet more material for the Daily Show. One of these days they should send him a check.
