Bush making calls to world leaders


WASHINGTON (AP) -- On the day before leaving office, President George W. Bush talked by phone to a number of world leaders he has worked with during the past eight years.

The White House says Bush chatted Monday with the leaders of Georgia, Russia, South Korea, Denmark and Italy.

National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe says that during the farewell calls, Bush thanked the leaders for the hospitality they had shown him and first lady Laura Bush over the years.

1. Good luck with that george

They all know, as well as many here do, that you are a War Criminal. Too little way too fucking late is all I can think of.

[ixion]

2. I'm sure he got good and liquored up before calling his old pals to jawbone

I really can't begin to describe my happiness at seeing the end of this idiot's term. The damage he has done to our republic is catastrophic, and it would be justice, in my opinion, to see the entire BFEE exiled from this country for life.

7. No, keep them here for prosecution! nt

3. He needs a good worming!

[Deja Q]

4. Well, this just goes to show that even sadomasochistic pigs can be polite gentlemen too.

:shrug:

5. I'd love to know how many hung up on him. n/t

6. 'Hey, Vladimir...I knew I could trust you'

'Sarkozy...your wife is hot!'

8. Hope he called them collect, and they refused to take the call!

[Frustratedlady]

9. I didn't see Germany on the list. Wonder why?

[ima_sinnic]

10. hmmm--perhaps gauging his welcome to figure out where he might or might not be wanted

I hope they set him up: "hey, george, come visit any time (heh heh, wink wink)--the sooner the better. We have a, er, special executive suite ready and waiting! And bring Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gonzales, and the rest with you!"

11. I have this image of

Bush being put on hold and having to listen to muzak. Periodically some voice coming over explaining that "all calls are taken n the order they are received. Please stay on the line. We value your call." Finally, " to help serve you better, if you are calling about the global economic meltdown, please press one; for calls regarding the crisis in the middle east, please press two; for calls on the climate crisis, press three. All others please press nine. To ensure quality control your call will be monitored"

12. He's asking them if their refrigerator is running n/t

[meegbear]

13. I wonder how many are actually taking his call?

[rurallib]

14. Looking for a place where he can't be arrested?

[Mind_your_head]

15. *Please leave a message after the tone* Beep n/t

[gratuitous]

16. World leaders avoiding calls from Bush

"Tell him I'm in the shower!"

"George who? Never heard of him."

"It's probably a crank call. Hang up."

"No, I'm very happy with my long distance carrier. Good-bye."

[Kahuna]

17. Tsk tsk. Poor *. Still trying to be relevant. nt

[independentpiney]

18. He forgot Poland! n/t

[jazzjunkysue]

19. He's so stupid he doesn't get it that they were only nice to him WHILE he was president.

Tomorrow they won't give him the time of day. Moron.

20. 'Say buddy, you got five bucks so I can go get something to eat"?

"I just got laid off, see".
