Bush Tosses his "Hail Mary" Pass...

... And he's hoping some other country or two will manage to grab the ball for him and run with it.


Bush, ever the simpleton, said to a gathering of G8 bigwigs:
In an interconnected world, no nation will gain by driving down the fortunes of another. We are in this together. We will come through it together," Bush said. "There have been moments of crisis in the past when powerful nations turned their energies against each other or sought to wall themselves off from the world. This time is different.
The man is beyond hope. He's the man who took a nation with a healthy surplus and booming economy and drove it into financial collapse. He is the man who has spent money like a drunken sailor for eight years, borrowing billions from other nations to support his wild spending spree.He is the one man who has kept the world on edge for eight long years with his insane Bush doctrine, the idea of preemptive military strikes on anybody he suspected of whatever he wanted to suspect them of. He paid no attention to our allies, he paid no attention to Wall Street, no attention to the Bankers, no attention to Congress, and no attention to us. He did what he wanted, Constitutional or not, legal or not.

More than any person on earth, Bush is the man responsible for all this mess.

And now he wants the rest of the world to bail him out?

Don't hold your breath. He's a laughing stock, a lame duck, a man who took his advice from the worst of the worst. Not one world leader has a smidgen of respect for him. He has treated world leaders like dirt for eight years, and now he begs them to save his ass.

What they will all do is breathe a giant sigh of relief when this shoot-from-the-hip Lone Ranger cowboy no longer has access to the nuclear football... and so will we all.
