Bush turns SAIS appearance into stand-up routine
Speaking at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies today, G-Dub "answered" a number of student questions that should utterly shame the Washingtom press corps-- who should have been asking them for years now.
As you can see from the brief clip linked to above, he used his brilliant comedy to avoid addressing the questions, opting instead for hilarious laugh lines like "Help." Then there was "kind of rambling here," and the timeless classic "I don't mean to be dodging the question, although it's kind of convenient in this case." He even manages to blame Clinton for 9/11-- using language just slippery enough that he could deny it.
If you're really a glutton for punishment, you can read his evasive non sequitirs and faux-hayseed babbling unabridged (except for the stutters and countless 'uhhhh's) here.
The one thing that's clear after the event is that the president of the United States doesn't know a thing about foreign policy on any front. Not only are many of his responses bordering on completely incoherent, but he repeatedly states to questioners that he'd have to talk to another White House official about the matter before responding. Isn't that just another way of saying "I can't address that issue until I've been informed of my position"?
I'd call this a must-watch, but it's genuinely chilling. Not for the faint of heart.
