Blog Guy, didn’t President Bush address the United Nations General Assembly yesterday? Why haven’t I seen any photos or video of the event?

Hmmmmm. That’s a pretty good question. I just did some searching around, and it looks to me as though he gave the address facing the wrong way.

The wrong way? Shouldn’t somebody have told him to turn around? Wasn’t the first lady there?

Yeah, it looks to me like she was listening to her iPod most of the time. Just one of those things that can’t be helped, I guess.

Okay, but I’m going to keep looking, and if I find out this is more of your made-up garbage…

Pity we don’t have any video of the old comedians last stand up gig at the General Assembly Comedy Club, I hear it was one of his best ever, for example:
“we turned Iraq and Afghanistan from tyrannies that sponsoired terror into democracies that fight terror.”

Bet that one knocked ‘em dead.

I wonder what he’s hiding?

Why does the first lady need a translator to listen to her husband speak? I would have expected that she would be the only person that understood him.

Is this real? Surely he can’t be that dumb. Jesus Christ. And this is our president…
