Yikes

By Creature

The president is an embarrassment to the country in many ways. Language -- and I use the term loosely -- like this is just one more example:

He called the new Iraqi Defense Minister an "interesting cat" and Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi, the deceased al-Qaeda leader, "a dangerous dude."

And in case you had forgotten:

President Bush today said he had tried to avoid war with Iraq "diplomatically to the max."

Wait, there was this gem to the U.S. Winter Olympic team:

"We want to thank all the dudes of dudesses of the snowboarders who are here," Bush said.

And it's not over yet:

"Let's, first of all, pray there's no hurricanes," Bush said. "That would be, like, step one."

Mr. President, you certainly are an interesting cat, but you are also a dangerous dude. So maybe you could stop ruining this country to max. That would be, like, step one.

Simply embarrassing.
