1. He's mugging them in public now?
I was so hoping they would arrest him for war crimes instead of welcoming him.

11. No. Forrest Gump may not have been the sharpest knife in the drawer
or the brightest light bulb on the shelf, but that fictional character had a good heart. And every good thing that happened to him was because of his own efforts, not because Daddy bought it for him...

Forrest Gump doesn't equal Dimson bush.

5. OMFG....
he's over there degrading and belittling European leaders just like he punks reporters. I couldn't be any more ashamed or disgusted by this man representing my country.

Look at the guy in the background on the first picture. He looks like he's in pain.

7. He is NOT in pain. That is Hadley. He is a BushMan thru and thru.
He is just another yesman Neocon caught up in the raptureofBush.

6. sheesh - coupla rules Georgie
stop with the Finger Of Death thing. It's just plain rude, and

#2. Rigorously respect the personal space of other heads of state. The language you're communicating by invading somebody's "personal" space (an invisible cylinder approximately the diameter of one's elbows held akimbo) is not one of intimacy and trust, but one of aggression and asserting some kind of superior status.

Had they jammed their fingers in your face you would have likely had them shot.

As they say in ancient pre-cambrian Swahili "what an ass."

9. Yes! I agree with you. * needs to keep his fingers and hands to himself.
* reflects so poorly on our country. I am ashamed.

10. 'He's the life of the party 'crap
He has always operated by being the good natured life of the party buffoon. Can't give up believing he will make a hit with everybody by being a cutesy jackass.

13. Well, he's got the jackass part down pat.
He's always touching people. He's always touching strangers. I realize different cultures have different rules, but in New York, that wouldn't go over well.

12. He needs to take one of their suits, because the one he was wearing
during the debates with Kerry didn't fit in the back. Any pictures of * lately from the back? It's got to be tough for the POTUS get a decent tailor.

14. Trying to endear himself with his frat-boy humor.
How impressive, just wait until he starts crushing empty beer cans against his head. Lets see Putin try that!

16. Don't you mean "Pooty Poot?" Another sign of his bullying...making up
derogatory nicknames for everyone and calling it "humor."
