Last week, during the brouhaha over Bush saying "sh--" in front of an open mic, I confess I was strangely pleased that the guy swears now and then. He was talking to Tony ("Yo Blair") at the G-8 summit in St. Petersburg, and they were discussing the only news of the day that mattered - Israel and Hezbollah and that whole mess. Neither man knew that an open mic was capturing their conversation.
When Bush said "What they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this sh--," it seemed like a reasonable sentiment. Everyone ought to stop "doing this sh--," including Bush, who has played his part in worsening the Mideast quagmire.
But I'll tell you what did bother me. Bush's table manners. As we all saw clearly on CNN, he talks with his mouth full. Not only that, he makes smacking noises when he chews. Frankly, he must be disgusting to dine with.
