PRESIDENT BUSH: Welcome. Is everybody having a nice day here?

Q Yes. The lobsters are good.

PRESIDENT BUSH: They are good.

Q Sir, are you going to take him fishing?

PRESIDENT BUSH: We might just do that, yes. Not sure yet, Mark.

Q Today?

PRESIDENT BUSH: Maybe today. It's pretty casual up here, as you know, unstructured.

Q -- the menu?

MRS. BUSH: Lobster, what else? (Laughter.)

* * * * *

Q How was the fishing today, sir?

PRESIDENT BUSH: Lousy. (Laughter.) Was that you, Chuck, the other day? No wonder we didn't catch any fish. They took a look at you and -- (laughter) -- headed out.

Q Sir, while you're waiting, can you tell us what you think of those terrorist incidents in Britain and Scotland?

PRESIDENT BUSH: We got a press conference tomorrow, Mark. But it just goes to show the war against these extremists goes on. You never know where they may try to strike. And appreciate the very strong response that the Gordon Brown government has given to the attempts by these people.

* * * * *

PRESIDENT BUSH: Everybody been behaving themselves?

Q You sure you won't come back here a little more often? (Laughter.)

PRESIDENT BUSH: That's what I figured. (Laughter.)

Q I wasn't going to give you the satisfaction -- (laughter.)

PRESIDENT BUSH: That's what I thought, yes. Well, the guy is counting the days in Crawford, you know. (Laughter.)

Q I'm counting your days here, too -- 35.

Q Are you watching any baseball?

PRESIDENT BUSH: I watched the Ranger-Red Sox game today.

Q Is it over? Did they win today, too?

Q I think they won today, too.

Q But the Yankees lost.

PRESIDENT BUSH: They did?

* * * * *

(President Putin arrives.)

FORMER PRESIDENT BUSH: Where did these guys all come from? When I left there was nobody here.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Come over, Condi. Come on, Bill.

Okay? It's been real. (Laughter.) Thanks for coming.

Quote du Jour: Bush and Democracy

 

"Vladimir Putin will tell me that Russia is a democracy and that he's advancing democracy," Bush said. "We have got some questions about that, of course."

He has questions about what, exactly? How to be even more regressive just like Putin?

Or maybe Bush just wants to know what a "democracy" is. You never know...

I'm sure his soul mate can fill him in either way.

"I was able to get a sense of his soul, a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country."
- George W Bush, after meeting with Putin in 2001

Made for each other...


 

Bush Restarts the Cold War

Because there just isn't enough tension in the world already:

Exclusive: Putin threatens to target Europe with missiles

In an interview with the Globe and Mail, Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened to target Europe with missiles, including potentially nuclear weapons, in a dramatic escalation of his Cold War-style showdown with the United States.

Mr. Putin, in an interview at his country residence outside Moscow, said he considers U.S. plans to build an eastern European anti-missile site to shoot down Iranian missiles a provocation aimed at Russia.

Asked what he might do to retaliate, he said he would return Russia to the Cold War status where missiles were aimed at European targets.

"It is obvious that if part of the strategic nuclear potential of the United States is located in Europe, and according to our military experts will be threatening us, we will have to respond," he said.

"What kind of steps are we going to take in response? Of course, we are going to get new targets in Europe."

Afghanistan war: check
Iraq war: check
Cold War: check
Iran war: pending

Looks like the upcoming G8 summit will be a lively one, not to mention what will now likely be a very uncomfortable little visit between Bush and Putin on July 1 in Kennebunkport, Maine since Bush has put Putin "on notice".
