“Mr. President, the red light on the microphone means it’s on.”

From Those Bastards:

From CNN:

An open microphone caught President Bush in an unguarded moment Monday as the escalating crisis in the Middle East prompted him to use an expletive in a conversation with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

…

Apparently not expecting an open mic to pick up his remarks, Bush told Blair: “See the irony is what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it’s over.”

I hate to say this, but George W. Bush is exactly right on this one — Syria has to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit. Except if you are the president, it’s good to use words other than shit. We’ve already established that he’s pretty stupid. Geedub can find Syria on the map, much less spell it.

Lebanon is just a helpless target in this situation, and most of the residents have no idea why their homes are being destroy because a militant terrorist group that is supported by everyone except for the Lebanonese government is getting involved.

Welcome to Middle East — leave the logic at the door.
