So how can you tell when your President is a (&^%$#@ moron??

Speech Delayed To Fill Empty Seats‚Äö√Ѭ∂Calls “APEC” “OPEC,” Australian Troops Austrian

SYDNEY, Australia ‚Äö√Ñ√Æ President Bush had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day at the Sydney Opera House. He’d only reached the third sentence of Friday’s speech to business leaders, on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, when he committed his first gaffe…. “Thank you for being such a fine host for the OPEC summit,” Bush said to Australian Prime Minister John Howard. Oops. That would be APEC, the annual meeting of leaders from 21 Pacific Rim nations, not OPEC, the cartel of 12 major oil producers…. The president’s next goof went uncorrected _ by him anyway. Talking about Howard’s visit to Iraq last year to thank his country’s soldiers serving there, Bush called them “Austrian troops.”…. Then, speech done, Bush confidently headed out _ the wrong way. He strode away from the lectern on a path that would have sent him over a steep drop. Howard and others redirected the president to center stage, where there were steps leading down to the floor of the theater.

OK, so no one expects an American President to be an intellectual giant on the order of, say, Albert Einstein. Then again, I would think that we should be able to expect that an American President wouldn’t be an intellectual midget on the order of, say, Pee Wee Herman, either. Is it any wonder why the rest of the world detests America when Our Glorious and Benevolent Leader takes a trip overseas (Shouldn’t we be able to just take his passport??) and proceeds to display his astonishing ignorance on a world-wide stage? Again, no one is expecting Our Glorious and Benevolent Leader © to split atoms or cure cancer. But shouldn’t we be able to expect that he would know the difference between Australia and Austria? Or APEC and OPEC? And what does this say about the 54+ million Americans who voted for King George the Worst © in 2004? That stoopid is as stoopid does??

It seems the only thing missing from The Decider’s © public humiliation was a copy of My Pet Goat….
