The landscape (here and abroad) is littered with the wreckage of fools who underestimated George W. It astounds me how many people believe that he doesn't know how to pronounce "nuclear". I am absolutely sure he does it the way he does it just to annoy people and lead them to think he's stupid.

This is a guy with degrees from both Harvard and Yale, the two cathedrals where liberalism worships and they still don't get it. May his (and my) enemies continue to underestimate him.

We can put up with Americans who seem ashamed to be American. Woe betide them, however, if they are proud of it.

EXACTLY. This is the philosophy not only of Euros but of American liberals, in a nutshell.

That's the elitists for ya. They're so used to being phony that when they meet the genuine article, they assume they're being snowed somehow.

Like the old saying goes, the surefire way to confound a Leftist is to tell them the truth...because they'll never believe it.

Obviously Bush's visit to England was a good move. I have seen several articles expressing surprise at the real Bush instead of the one the media has been portraying these last few years.

Oh, I thought that was just how your faces naturally looked. Pardon me!

Pollard's right on about his fellow Britts. But we need to remember a lot of Americans went through the same change of mind about Mr. Bush.

This is the problem with Europe, they are so far behind us on the uptake that it's like they are living in the 50's when we use to belive everything we read.

The entire world is backward in comparison to the comprehension of most ordinary Americans, yet, funny as it is, they consider themselves the "enlightened ones". I suppose because of some conceit over the age of their nations in comparison to ours.

People who call Bush "dumb" only display their own pathetic ignorance.

No we won't. I've spent the last of my precious, hard-earned American dollars in England. After the aggressive condescension I experienced from Brits on a couple of trips there a few years ago I'll never spend another penny in Albion. The scorn came from out the blue, just because we were American. I know we have friends there (I read the Telegraph every day and loved it!) But the America-haters can go pound sand and they can expect the same kind of treatment when they visit my area. Screw 'em!

That Bush fellow is just so typically American: crude and unsophisticated.

He left out "unenlightened". I'm disappointed.

Meanwhile, full-time crank and ex-scientist, lectures the colonials on the evils of religion.

This last line of the article is probably it's best!

I'll see their condescending sneer and raise them a can of whup-ass.
