Bush in New Orleans: "The key thing for me is to keep expectations low".

Yeah, I know it was a joke in response to Williams' request that he summarize the Camus book that Bush's handlers claims he recently read. But to hear those words come out of the moron's mouth while standing in the middle of New Orleans today was just a little surreal.

2. It always seems to come back to HIMSELF...."ME"
"The Key thing for ME"......

That sez it all.

He is all about himself and what makes him look good...The reading list is bogus....Bush is so shallow its hilarious.

10. Did you catch his line about being good at PR?
In response to a question about why the rest of the world has a low opinion of the U.S. now, Junior said something funny but I can't remember it exactly. He said he didn't know why, and something like we have a good PR machine but we're getting beaten anyway (?) I thought it was a moment of accidental truth-telling; like he admitted that the one thing his people are actually good at is PR and spin, and he was totally stumped as to why reality was still winning.

12. Wouldn't a positive image be a sign of good PR?
Why would he think his people are good at PR when the data proves they aren't? Does this guy have ANY brain cells left?

11. "Conspiracy theory run rampant."
When asked about his relationship with Poppy.

Thanks for the link. An incredible demonstration of idiocy, by a guy who read "three Shakespeares" and has an "epilectic reading list."
