"...the recruitment of suiciders into a hopeful place." - - - G. W. B.

Yesterday Bush-war gave a speech in Arizona. Candidates for 6th grade class president give more eloquent speeches than this (snippet):

"You know, I just recently came off a trip to the Far East. By the way, representing the United States of America around the world is one of the great experiences of the presidency. And it struck me that I was in a region of the world where there -- where wars had started. You know, my dad and Senator McCain's relatives, I'm sure many of your relatives, fought the Japanese. They were our sworn enemy. And yet there I was in Kyoto, Japan, sitting with my friend, Prime Minister Koizumi, talking about the peace, talking about what we can do in the Far East to work together to keep the peace, and what we can do in the Middle East to help rid that region of resentment and hatred, to help change the breeding grounds for the recruitment of suiciders into a hopeful place. Isn't that amazing? Think about that. Who would have thought 50 years ago, or 60 years ago, a President of the United States could have stood here in Phoenix, Arizona, and said he sat down at the table with the Prime Minister of Japan talking about the peace. Nobody would have thought that way then."

I'm sorry, but this man needs to stop writing his own speeches and hire someone, ANYONE, with a bachelor's degree in ANYTHING, who knows the English language and grammar. It is so fucking embarrassing to know that this mediocre-at-best businessman is running the country, has his shaky finger hovering over the "button", and is representing us in foreign lands. If we aren't the laughingstock of the world, then we're definitely the butt of its jokes. I cannot for the life of me figure out how I'm going to be able to tolerate three more years of this racist dweeb without shoving an ice pick through my ear and scrambling my brains.
