Microphone Captures Bush's Unscripted Comments at G-8

ST. PETERSBURG, July 17 -- President Bush should know that in Russia, someone is always listening. In this case, it was the rest of the world.

During a lunch with other leaders at the Group of Eight summit on Monday, Bush was caught on a live microphone talking in tough, occasionally profane terms with British Prime Minister Tony Blair about the latest conflict in the Middle East. Bush criticized the position taken by U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, and said he would soon send Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to the region.

"What they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it's over," Bush says with his mouth full as he buttered a piece of bread.

"Who, Syria?" asked Blair, standing next to the seated Bush.

"Right," Bush said. Within an hour, the remarks were broadcast on television stations, radio stations and websites around the world.

The conversation, while consistent with Bush's politer public remarks, offered a rare glimpse of the president in a less-guarded moment at a major diplomatic event, capturing his style of interaction with one of his closest allies.

I guess this is supposed to shock...someone...I don't know, the Christian Right (they don't believe in perfection). The Syrians perhaps? Like they don't know what the President thinks already?

This is the most non-story the Paleo-media has run in some time. We already know that this President, like all of those before him, is willing to use some earthy language from time to time. I haven't looked yet (but I will after publishing this) but I'll bet the moonbats over at democraticundergrounddailykos.com are having a field day over this, as if it is some great revelation.

Yep, I was right. The moonbats act as though they have never heard of an American President speaking frankly and using profane or obscene language, language I might add that they seem to have no difficulty in using themselves. The reaction of these pitiful souls is as predictable as it is hypocritical.

Full Story: Move on, move on, nothing to see here.
