So, apparently the Prez was pretty stoked about the pig he was having for dinner.
I honestly can't really think of anything to say to this one. I mean, usually I'm able to think of some kind of pithy comment, but this time, just...wow.
I can't believe he's more concerned about this damn pig than the Middle East.

While I certainly have no first-hand experience to support this, I'm sure that being the leader of the free peoples of the world would give a guy one hell of an appetite.

Well, to be fair, if you had a choice between thinking about eating a roast boar and thinking about, say, escalating tensions with Russia, or the nuclear crisis with Iran, or the quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan, or that Israel has invaded half its neighbors in the last two weeks, or the fact that you're the least-popular president since records have been kept, what would you choose?

This is one I actually can't blame him for. Hell, if he'd spent more time in the first place thinking about dinner than about stealing elections, we might all be better off.

Fucking christ I love George W. Bush. If he wasn't the president, he'd be the most hilarious, fun-loving guy in the world. He's just so brilliantly retarded.

Germans do know how to cook, though. Maybe he was just really hungry? I often find my mind wandering towards food at odd moments. I once planned an entire dinner while at the OB/Gyn.

"I'm looking forward to the feast you're going to have tonight. I understand I may have the honour of slicing the pig," Bush told Merkel at the outset of their joint news conference in Stralsund, north of Berlin.

A few minutes later -- after discussing Iran, the Middle East, the merits of press freedoms in Russia and progress on the Doha round of free trade talks -- Bush returned to the boar.

"Thank you for having me," he told Merkel. "Looking forward to that pig tonight."


I think 'pig' was a code word for something - rosebud?

I was thinking of all the things "pig" could be a euphimism for, but my mind spiralled off into complete unprintable tastelesness.

Maybe Bush's just trying to be offensive, perhaps it is a code word, or maybe it's just one of his little quips that nobody really gets. It seems kind of pointless to report his facination with eating an animal that wallows in it's own filth, but since it was done it can only lead us to speculate. Considering the surrounding climate of instability and unrest in the Middle East, maybe he's hoping to leave a bad taste in the mouth's of people who don't dig on swine, you know, Jews & Muslims. It's not like he's saying he's looking forward to eating pork, ham or boar, he's saying pig, who the fuck say's they are eating pig? He is clearly trying to illustrate the this bizarre distinction by continually referring to it, as if he were going to devour the entire animal. Maybe it's just his way of snubbing the cultures of the Middle East, as if to say his concern for their situation is less than the pig he is salivating over.

I can't believe that just spent this much time reflecting on this 'story'. whatever

Maybe it's because I despise that lying, pig-eating, son of a bitch. biggrin

Heh. I had the same reaction when I read about this in yesterday's paper.

I hope you're being sarcastic:

Bush is a creep I wonder if this is the type of "relations" Laura would like?

And the coup-de-grace from the horses ass (I mean mouth):

Diplomatic Solution?
