The Irish don't understand Bush, Bush doesn't drink.

Bush faces a hostile reception in Ireland ^

LOL

;-)

Bush was being interviewed today by some Irish sassy lass reporterette and did great rebutting all her silly Euro-Lib talking points.

[Redbob]

Of course they're hostile: they know he is deathly opposed to terrorists.

[MarkeyD]

Remember when Clinton made the comment about the Irish and drinking? But I bet they would welcome him with open arms.

[GVnana]

Bump.

[Puddleglum]

Now and again the Irish have to remind us where the term "blarney" came from, I guess. Or maybe they're just green with envy that we still have a leader with some fortitude. Be a damned shame to see the Irish go all Euro-squishy after the great start the monks gave their civilization.

"Nobody denies we have an affinity with the United States, but that is a different matter from having an affinity with the president," O'Rourke said in the Irish Parliament this week.

Well I've got news for you, you shanty Irish sob. I'm a descendent of Irishmen and I have NO affinity for socialists or baby killers no matter what they do on St Patty's day.

Ireland needs to remember one thing........disagreement is fine...but you attack the President of the United States .....you are attacking all of us..

[Kackikat]

Shame on Ireland, makes me sad.

"Bush faces a hostile reception in Ireland."

He should tell them to talk to his complaints desk, which is run by Ms. Deeyenda Maddick.

[cmsgop]

Me Too, I should probably take down the Irish Flag in my Office.

[Hi Heels]

EXACTLY my thought the first I read this. They're drunk. Again.

[MplsSteve]

Time for a large (and retaliatory) 50% tariff on all Irish linen, Waterd Crystal and Bushmills.

The Irish will learn to shut their mouths really quick once that happens.

But then again, they're Irish. They probably won't have learned a damned thing.

[CourtneyLeigh]

That is one country of sentiment. They have had their fair share & taste of cold blooded murder from their English Terrorists.

They know what it's like, and they'll never allow a shadow of World Wars to inhabit their lands or people. Not until they've won the war they've been fightin' for over 200years against the Euro/Roman Catholic invasion!

Ireland/Scotland still cry tears of blood over their lost sons/daughters to a self-righteous people! Bush is a good president for America, and America alone, but he can never expect a warm welcome from a country that still has open wounds on top of old scars!

It's like asking a mistreated cat to trust another human, after it's first human hurt it!

[Kackikat]

Is there a way to write emails to the Irish Parliament and show our displeasure at that woman's lack of manners for not attending the dinner for Bush???

[BossLady]

I'm with you! Like some of these Irish mouthpieces have any business bashing Bush and the USA when they sure have many problems of their own....and that sure has gone swimmingly for them.....

[steveo]

sigh, like I really care about what eurotrash thinks.

[eskimo]

The Irish don't understand Bush, Bush doesn't drink.

No rational human should trust anyone who does not drink.
