The Least Offensive

You know what I found far more disturbing than Bush’s expletive. His whole demeanor and posture when talking to Blair
Listen to some of his conversation before the ‘S’ word, and watch his demeanor during the discussion. He says to Putin: ‘Russia’s Big. And so Is China.’ When Tony Blair approaches, he calls him simply ‘Blair’. Then, as Tony Blair lays out his views on Israel/ Lebanon, Bush sits there (slouching), stuffing bread and butter into his mouth. He couldn’t even be bothered to turn and face the man he was having a conversation with until he (Bush) had something to say. Which boiled down to 'Someone should tell them to knock the shit off'.
The fact that Bush swears is not news. The fact that the President deals with other world leaders like he was still president of a fraternity is.
