I think the important question is, can he read?? ;)
Bush has a peculiar style of reading. He reads a sentence or two and
then looks at the crowd. The look on his face says I read out something
which I don't know means what. Mostly its some cliche upon which the
crowd rises and claps. Bush's facial expression changes to that relief
at this point.
Also, he won't have the priviledge of addressing the British parliament
unlike his predecessors. It seems the Blair government developed cold
feet on the event after Bush got heckled by a couple of green MPs in
the Australian parliament.

It is refreshing to see the swell of whining from the liberal bastion of grex
worthies. Life is tough living under a Republican president, ain't it.
Of course, we were so much better off under Clinton...

I think you will have to define liberal first.
Another interesting thing to note was Fox's almost complete lack of
coverage of the Anti-Bush protests in London. An estimated 100,000
people turned up for the protests and Fox missed it?

re: 53: Yeah, you probably were. Of course, since Fox
never reported it, you probably missed that

The only thing I watch Fox for is Red Wings hockey or Pistons basketball, or
the occasional Detroit Lions attempt at football.

Re 53: Yes, things are so much better now that flag-draped coffins are coming
back from a foreign land on a regular basis once again.

hi there,
I write from Europe.That visit of GWB to the british islands was very
funny, but pay attention, the Queen is furious !! Her garden was destroy
by the americans:
http://www.sundaymirror.co.uk/news/content_objectid=13652625_method=full_
siteid=106694_headline=-GROUND-FARCE-1-name_page.html
They were many things said on radios and papers too.
Like that one: much people stressed the fact the visit was kind of
historical: first US president to do official visit to the queen ? Well,
that's wrong: the president of the USA couldn't come, he was busy and
sent Bush instead (ie. Al Gore _is_ the president...:-))
At many places on the internet (at least in german, spanish, french and
more...) a word of Oscar Wilde came often:
"America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence
without civilization in between."
uff!
Poor George !!

From his undisclosed location? (I've always suspected the "undisclosed
location" is a cardiac ward in some hospital.)

well, with a little help from the Supreme Court, after much ado about
something...
BTW, is there no longer a debate about the possibilities to re-evaluate
the electoral system (ie. Electoral college) by changing/amending the
constitution ?
In Europe we are going to be more and more interested about the inner of
US politics.We try to avoid WW3 :)

Right now there doesn't seem to be any political will to change the
electoral college. When it comes to Constitutional amendments,
generally it's hard to get interest in anything that doesn't ban flag
burning or gay marriage.
