| Poo-poo pants Oz politician calls Bush a 'dunderhead' |
| 2007-09-06 |
| US President George W Bush was a “dunderhead” for thinking that sending troops to Iraq was making the world a safer place, an outspoken Australian politician said on Wednesday. Bush, whose five-day visit has placed Australia’s biggest city Sydney under a security lockdown, spent the day in talks with Prime Minister John Howard and lunching with troops on the harbour. While the US president was afforded the red carpet treatment, Greens Party leader Senator Bob Brown said it was wrong to think that Australia’s security depended on maintaining a military presence in Iraq. The Greens leader, who was frogmarched out of Parliament House in Canberra in 2003 when he interrupted an address by Bush, said Australia should never have joined the US-led Iraq war. “What John Howard should have been saying to George Bush is, ‘we’re withdrawing from Iraq and we are an independent country and we are on our own two feet, we’re not deputy sheriff,’” Brown said. |

| #8 tu3031, Rove didn't even have to nod. All he had to do was think it. The mind control rays did the rest. |

| #7 Dunderhead? Why drat and tarnation! Dunderhead? The Greens leader, who was frogmarched out of Parliament House in Canberra in 2003 when he interrupted an address by Bush I'll bet that was cool. Did Rove just give his discreet little "surpress dissent" nod to the local cops? |

| #5 The correct adjective is of course "burbled"... If we're going to get all grammatical, burbled is a verb. A lovely, even poetic, choice, mojo. What a wonderful way to start the morning! |
