Can you picture Bush in Parliament?

You've all seen how the MP's stand up and debate each other in the UK's gov't.

Could you imagine Bush in that situation? He'd wet his pants.

Even Blair, who is a dirty, low-down lap-dog - at least the guy has the ability to have a coherent debate and can pretty much hold his own when it comes to the English style of point-counterpoint.

What I wouldn't give to see numbnuts Bush in that same type of threatre.

Compare that visual with how a John Kerry would fare in the same situation.

...where was that picture with Blair and Bush talking to reporters and Blair looks like he's flipping the bird at Bush with his finger against his face?:hi:

I always laugh at the idea of Bush having to face such a circumstance!! The vision of the predictable panic on his face is hilarious!

Indeed, we here have the destiny of living in The Age of Irony.

This sneaky little creep whose Daddy managed to hijack the presidency for him, who is touted as some tough Texas Rambo kinda guy with an M16 shooting from each hip -- is too l'il bunny-"skeered" to appear in front of the very docile and servile White House Press corps and Congress, let alone a REAL democratic institution like the British Pariiament! I can just picture him, frozen in his characteristic "deer in the headlights" look, with the wet stain in the front of his trousers spreading and spreading and spreading, as he takes questions and comments from Parliament.

In this, an Election Year, let us remind the flying monkeys who regale His Chimperial Majesty as a Great and Fearless Warrior Leader that he chickened out of addressing the Parliament of *our closest ally,* Great Britain. It was too tough a challenge.

"Here wuzzy wuzzy wuzzy wuzzy wuzzy!"

This sneaky little creep is the ultimate CAPON among the Chickenhawks which have hijacked our nation. Let us give him the humiliation in November, which is the least of what he deserves.

The Canadian Prime Minister was meeting with him, and the reporters started a "press scrum" of the type traditional in Canada (England too) where they come up close and shout unscreened questions. Bush thought they were "rude" and was upset.

I can't imagine him leading his party in the House, during an open debate. (Clinton would have been great at it.)

I think this is a uniquely Canadian tradition in the way it is practiced here...I thought the English of late have taken to it
Could be wrong...but this whole 'mobbing' MPs in the halls of Parliament with rude questions is a kinda Canuck thing...

Mind you it works both ways...some MPs can dish it out as easily as the journalists...and then some...

Trudeau was legendary, as was John Crosby

But this topic is a little off, largely because, someone like Bush would never, under a Parliamentary system, make it as far as he has in a US system...he would have been vetted by his own party long long ago (a non-starter basically)

The Parliamentary system tends to be bias towards lawyers and academics

Pissed off they were asking pointed questions for once.

Klein says about as many stupid things as Bush (dinosaur's farting caused the Ice Age etc.)...but he sure generally gets an easy ride.

Until of course the NDP allegations of the MAD COW cash going to only a couple of privately owned american packing houses!!

But Klein did backtrack and called for an investigations...so

Shades of the Pocklington/Gainers crap...

they don't like in the British Parliament? I'd love to see chimpy try and stand through that.

he was surrounded by sycophants - when two senators attempted to speak to him afterwards they were man handled out of the way by the "Bush Posse" of conservative pollies that had formed around him - it was truly sickening. The crawling toadies also had Greens senators Brown & Nettle banned from parliament for 24 hours for interjecting during shrub's embarrasingly bad speech - there's no way he could tolerate open debate - he got flustered by a very brief interjection.

Dubya wouldn't stand a chance in the British parliament. He's used to giving non-answers and dodging questions in the rare event that he's actually questioned directly, if it were up to him to personally defend and debate about every idiotic thing he and his administration has done, he'd probably be impeached by now.

He would be a laughing stock in one session. As someone said here, he wouldn't have been elected in that system to be PM. I think Shrub has some sort of brain dysfunction that does not allow for coherent speech.
