Mahathir Says Bush Did Not Rebuke Him
Mahathir Says Bush Did Not Rebuke Him

SINGAPORE, Oct. 21 -- Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad denied Tuesday that President Bush had rebuked him for asserting that Jews rule the world and said his remarks had been taken out of context.

snip...........

At a news conference in Bangkok on Tuesday after the summit ended, Mahathir said he and Bush had no quarrel. "All he said was that I regret today to have to use strong words against you." Mahathir said, according to news services.

Mahathir, 77, maintains he was not chastised by Bush, "unless my hearing is very bad," he said. "But it is still very good. I can hear very well. He did not rebuke me at all and after that, we were walking practically hand-in-hand."

1. Bush is such a putz. He doesn't have enough ass
to stand in anyone's face especially a moral and intellectual superior. What he said was "look buddy, my handler's say I HAVE to say something about you pulling the Boss' pants down in public, nothing personal you understand....... say, you wanna do lunch?"

2. Heh heh. Good point.
There's no substance to the man. He's like a flag waving on a flag pole. Whichever way the wind is blowing, he's facing in that direction, too.

Like the Native Americans said, "him speak with forked tongue".
