Bush's Big Farewell

Jesus Christ, just when you thought Bush couldn't embarrass the United States any more, he leaves this week's G8 meeting with the world's "top leaders" with these parting words:

“ Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter!

From the UK's Telegraph:

The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter."

He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.

Mr Bush, whose second and final term as President ends at the end of the year, then left the meeting at the Windsor Hotel in Hokkaido where the leaders of the world's richest nations had been discussing new targets to cut carbon emissions.

One official who witnessed the extraordinary scene said afterwards: "Everyone was very surprised that he was making a joke about America's record on pollution."

Seriously? He is proud of America's unparalleled contribution to perhaps the worst global crisis in the history??

Urg, that piece of shit...

What else can you say at this point?


I couldn't find a picture of him "punching the air", but I think this sums up the mood.
