"I Thought You Were Going to Ask About the Pig"

July 15, 2006 11:06 AM

o, the President got really fired up about a fucking pig roast in Germany. How fired up? So fired up that even when a reporter politely implied that he should shut the fuck up about the goddamned pig, George Bush responded that he hadn't yet seen the pig, but would be happy to talk about the pig the next day.

I'm all for talking about food. Especially exciting, awesome food like a whole roast pig. But when you're the leader of the free world and you're getting asked questions about Hezbollah, Israel, and a growing conflict where thousands of innocent lives are at stake, don't you think, maybe, you could keep the mood somber?

There are some times, I'll admit, whe breaking the ice with a joke is great. But the fact of the matter is that if I'm in a group of friends, and one friend has just learned a loved one has died, I'm not likely to crack a joke. Moreover, I wonder how many jokes were told in the White House say, during the Bay of Pigs, or after Pearl Harbor. Maybe the events in the Middle East aren't so end-of-the-world-ish, but the fact of the matter is that they're serious, people are dying, and it's escalating.

Listen up, Georgie Boy, as a diplomat, you should know when this kind of shit is appropriate and when it's not. And you were so fucking out of touch this time that you embarrassed your whole country. Thanks a lot!

Update!: I was trolling around the internet, as I an wont to do, and I found this. It's an even better example of what an idiot this guy is. My god.
