Something About Open Mic

At the recent G8 meeting U. S. President George Bush didn't realize his dinner conversation was being picked up by a nearby mic. Besides cursing Hezbollah with an explicit (what do you neo-cons think about that?) to best bud Tony Blaire, he was also heard saying the following to Vladimir Putin and an unidentified world leader (Stephen Harper?):

"You eight hours? Me too. Russia's a big country and you're a big country. Takes him eight hours to fly home. Not Coke, diet Coke. ... Russia's big and so is China. Yo Blair, what're you doing? Are you leaving," Bush said.

Seriously, the guy sounds like he's in elementary school: "Russia's big and so is China." What a great observation, W! And what better way to address another world leader than with a "Yo." I'm surprised he didn't add "How's it hanging?" Honestly, how does anyone take this guy seriously?
