Where the hell is Bush?

[thefloyd]

My god. Rice is globe hopping specifically in the middle east. Talking with Saudis, Israel, and other middle eastern countries. Bush? China?
Bush ran on Iraq in 2004 and has not taken the lead on keeping the different factions in Iraq from breaking into an all out Civil war. Cheney? Probably locating the next Baboon heart his body will accept. Seriously. Friday. Wow. I swear Bush was practicing a stand up comedy gig for post chimpeachment. Bush should either be straight with Americans or just resign. Better yet fire all the fascist, neocons drooling over possible completion of Pax Americana. Seriously, Americans need to consider waking the fuck up and "like participating in our cool democracy...Like wow". Jesus

Gov. Schwarzenegger Arrives in China
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 1:44 a.m. ET

BEIJING (AP) -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger arrived Monday in China on a six-day mission to promote California products and encourage Chinese officials to crack down on the piracy of copyrighted music, movies and software.

The trip also gives him a chance to revive his political image after the bruising defeat of his ''year of reform'' package in a special election last week.

In China, his celebrity overshadows his recent political woes.

''Folks coming along recognize they want the exposure a celebrity like the governor can bring,'' said Jeff Williamson, director of the state's Center for International Trade Development.

4. Doing what his Dad did: Ignoring the domestic agenda

The difference is that his father at least knew what he was talking about in foreign policy, and even if I didn't agree with him, he was at least an expert in foreign policy.

5. Bush Senior would be considered a Pinko

by todays standard. Funny. Bush Senior has not come out and supported son since indictments, Allegations junior and Cheney manipulated intelligence. Bush senior says one thing "read my lips no new taxes" All of America is shocked and dismayed. Junior lies and lies about war and nothing from the body politic. Should not say nothing. Seems america is coming around

6. Multiple Issues to Greet Bush on Asia Trip

Preparing for a possible bird flu pandemic. Boosting global free-trade talks and tackling sticky trade issues with China. Promoting democracy. Keeping U.S. partners on track in ridding North Korea of its nuclear weapons programs. President Bush embarks Monday on an eight-day Asian trip with a full plate.

White House officials predicted that Bush's visits to Japan, South Korea, China and Mongolia would produce few tangible breakthroughs. Analysts said that was appropriate, since the trip's value lies in countering a drift in the region away from the United States.

China is growing in economic and military might and in its global involvement, which is causing some to worry whether Beijing seeks to rival, or supplant, U.S. influence. Meanwhile, a new collection of Asian states known as the East Asia Summit added participation by Australia, New Zealand and India, but still excludes Washington.

"It is good for the president to show up in Asia and say, `We care about Asia,' because that is in doubt in the region," said Ed Lincoln, senior fellow in Asia and Economic Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.

White House aides had looked to a November packed with foreign travel as a way to help divert attention from Bush's domestic troubles and slumping poll numbers.

It hasn't worked out that way.

8. It's the Robert C. Byrd Flu, that scares the Cheney outta' Bush!

Junior can't face the music anymore, now, than he did in the Texas Air National Guard. I'll bet the folks protest the fool in Asia too! Bush is using KKKondie as his human shield/diversion/smoke screen. He thinks the protesters in Asia, won't notice he's landed in their countries, if Miss Rice attracts the world's attention.

7. Baboon heart?

Get real. How could the heart of a warm blooded mammal work on cheney? It has to match. It's likely reptilian.

9. Point taken

Reptillian certainly matches Cheneys karma
