Hillary mentioned at MSNBC’s debate something about Bush begging for lower oil prices….
President Bush is over in the Gulf now begging the Saudis and others to drop the price of oil,” Clinton said. “How pathetic.”

He gave them the carrot (weapons package) and then asked them to lower oil prices (they said ‘no’).
Nice deal for them and BushCo.
Why didn’t the Secret Service disarm the fool in the photo?
Is it just me or does every decision this president makes end up screwing America?
So George is now the court jester for the Saudis? So sad…
Michael M. @ 3:
No, it isn’t just you.
centavo @ 2:
LMAO!!!
I think Hillary said his begging was pathetic. She could have gone farther and said he, as a human being, is not only pathetic but also embarrassing to the American people.
Loved the tap dancing sounds. It fit perfectly.
The killer cannot even hold the sword correctly. Give that sucker a drink and a sword, the world’s problems are a lot less.
Look, if I went ’round saying I was Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!
Terry Cunningham @ 4:
Funny, that is exactly how it appears.
The Dem nominee should run this clip with a voice over…”we’ve had eight years of incompetence, let’s now return intelligence and ability to the oval office.”
You should post Saddam’s sword swinging clip next to this one.
The Saudi guy on the right is telling Dubyah “No more oil George, but you may take this sword as a gift. Now go home and sit on it. “
Glad I’m not the only one who thought he was holding the sword wrong. Seems you wouldn’t want the blade side against your neck. I wouldn’t. Thank god he didn’t try to get cute and start swinging it around or challenge the guys there to a sword fight.
NanaT @ 11:
Better yet..”we’ve had eight years of tap dancing around the truth by this idiot, time
to stick that sword up his ass.”
ashton @ 10:
Not appearance, reality. I bet they laugh their asses off behind his back.
What a foolish man bush is. He thinks his personality will get him favors from the Saudi’s? The Saudi’s hate America as do most of the rest of the Arab world due to bush’s cowboy actions and lack of any understanding of what Diplomacy is.
Pathetic is a most a kind word for this absolute fool.
Hey, all you dipshits who voted for him twice; How do you like him now?
He’s just rocketing to that 45% approval rating…..
Lefty @ 5:
In fact it almost seems as if he’s deliberately screwing this nation over for profit…but he’d never do that…he only has our best interest in mind…HA!
Spreading Democracy in the Middle East. Hahaha!
Bush: “Well…what do you want?…….(whispering)…..”Let me call Larry Flint right now.”
itsamessi @ 20:
Spreading Democracy in the Arab world is like getting the Chinese to serve cheese in China.
It will never happen.
Did they change the music, or do the Saudis really do a sword dance to Tea for Two?
Even more proof we have a puppet government. What a stooge.
It’s not so much the price of oil that is going up, it is the collapse of the US$ that is causing the problems.
Mark my words: The weapons Bush is now selling the Saudis will be pointed back at the faces of our troops within 10 years.
Another seed of violence sown.
Dance with the sword, die by the… oops, wrong adage.
I find that almost everything Bush says and does now is pathetic. It is just amazing that somebody this bad could be the President of the United States. Unfortunately I also see a lot of “pathetic” in a lot of the new contenders for his job.
It’s very simple - when you’re an addict, you will do whatever your dealer wants. And if that includes removing the Prince Sultan airbase to appease
terroriststhe dealer’s nephew, so be it.Yeah we laughed about that when we saw it on the news. We also really wanted the sword to slip.
And as Marcus A said, and I agree, we have yet again armed a nation that will be our enemy within ten years. When that happens, I say we send all the good ole boys in their pick-em-up trucks and their “pry it from my cold dead hands” guns over there and let them take care of it.
Seems like a pretty harsh word being used by someone who hasn’t done much to stop the war, stop the torturing, stopping illegal wiretapping or stopping the sleazy secrecy of the current administration.
In other words, why wasn’t she calling him pathetic YEARS AGO?
They should take that show on the road. Fantastic.
What gives? I thought his signing statements were done in crayon because they won’t let him handle anything sharp…
Wait wait wait…When did they allow booze in Saudi Arabia?
liberalNmoderation @ 19:
Nono, you slightly misstated that: it’s “he has thoughts of the best interest rate he can get in mind.” It’s an understandable mistake, the Republicans have been confusing the two for how many
yearsdecades now?♥♂ Angry Guy @ 22:
I just find it funny the amount of crap the administration puts out and Americans in vast numbers swallow the whole stinking pile.
Watching this Idiot with the sword cavorting with one of the most brutal dictatorships any where on earth, should answer all the questions regarding US Hypocrisy!
OK. Next thing you know, they’ll be headed off the the men’s room together…
Man with little penis want to carry big sword.
Yes, but there are bigger issues here than our President dancing around like a chimp, or the price of Saudi oil:

Why isn’t Hillary, or any other Democratic contender, commenting on any of this?
Here is the scenario…
“Hey Abdula”
“yeah, what’s up?”
“Want to bet me money I can make the president of the U.S. dance like a monkey?”
“no way dude. it won’t happen.”
“how much you wanna bet?”
“I bet you two of my prized camels… no way will he do it.”
“Two camels it is.”
a little while later….
“hey abdul where are my camels…. ha ha Bush is such an idiot.”
1. Good comment about the holding the sword with the blade facing his neck. It kind of says. “I’d cut my own throat to hang out with you guys”.
2. I wonder what message the Iraqi Shiites are getting when Bush is seen dancing a war dance with the Sunni? Seems likely to inflame the Sadrists. Sorry troops, oil is more important.
3. I’m sure this tape (not necessarily this version) will be on all the Al Qaeda recruiting tapes and will be quite successful too.
Boris Cleto @ 9:
Just…. WOW!
“Now we see the violence inhiert in the system! Help help im beeing repressed!”
Ocham @ 6:
Let them experience the folly of their ‘War on Terror” firsthand. And Hillary is right, this is pathetic.
So, in how many places or articles did our lovely MSM say, “Hillary calls Bush PATHETIC” (he is of course but that’s not what she said)…it they haven’t be watching for MODO and the rest to be writing their little opinion pieces using that meme soon…
pissed off patricia @ 14:
Note that Prince Salman holds his blade with the edge facing out or upwards. I understand this was likely a ceremonial/show blade with no real edge, but common sense demands you treat a weapon with respect at all times. (Unless you’re Dick Cheney on a
drunkdunkduck hunt.)But, let’s recap - Saudi Arabia gets $2 billion in military equipment. Bush got a medal, a sword dance, and a resounding ‘no’ from King Abdullah.
There’s your legacy, Mr. Bush. Another failure to cap off a string of failures, like the three energy companies you helmed.
And did anyone else notice that Bush had a particularly medicated look about him on this trip, with frequent glancing off to the side as if he were wondering where he was, exactly? I mean, even St. Ronnie never looked so lost.
hit_escape @ 41:
Sorry you Shiites, Im going to dance with these guys until you sign all of your oil revenues over to our corporate robber barons.
He seems to be having a grand old time holding hands, playing with swords (a phallic symbol) and dancing with a room full of nothing but manly men.
We also remember the images of bizzare behavior in China when he ran into a door.

Or at the press club joking about weapons of mass destruction.

THE soldiers, their families and the american people are not laughing.
What the Bush Administration has enabled. Shameful.
As Citibank, the national treasury of China and the House of Saud
are foreclosing and evicting Americans from the US economy.
http://www.gregpalast.com/geor.....e-goodbye/
What the Bush Administration has done, enabled and has allowed to happen to our country
can be described with one word. Treason.
Including those in our “so called media”.
Bush, Cheney, all the cowards and the smarmy pundits in their pockets… shove it.

Bloody peasant!
Do I really need to set this up?
No, but you probably need to remove it from the site; some of us are eating lunch right now. ;-)
Here’s a sward and an invitation to take the next flight to fuckadeoff land….
God, that mutherfukker is such an embarrassment
Those two are laughing all the way to the bank.
Americans obviously still don’t GET IT.
