Yes, I'm sure he got along with Poppy and Billy Jeff just fine.

“”””””I’ve never seen language like this. Least of all from subordinates of the president directed at the prime minister of their greatest friend and ally,” he said.””””””””””

The hosers are our best friends and allies?

[Big Red Badger]

Mulroney,

Don’t you need a Toilet for That?

[Vigilanteman]

Poppy Bush was a (mostly) loyal ally as VP under Reagan.

But during his own administration, he accomplished mainly four things.

Two good:

1. Giving us Justice Clarence Thomas.
   
2. Kicking Saddam Insane out of Kuwait (but failing to go on to Baghdad to finish the job).

Two bad:

1. Raising taxes.
   
2. Ushering in eight years of Bill Clinton.

PR is a sh!thole

Mulroney, Don’t you need a toilet for that?

Tell Mulroney just don’t squeeze the Charmin.

[Laslo Fripp]

Are you on the right thread?

[McCarthysGhost]

You guys have anybody without loose eyebrows? We like our PMs to have eye brows that are firmly attached.

[RetiredTexasVet]

But you are a nobody now so what difference do your inane comments make.

[max americana]

As a former canadian who was unfortunately around when this idiot was PM, there was a reason why we western canadians used to call Bullroney..

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Former PM says he had an easier time dealing with the U.S. than Trudeau's had

Yeah, I really do not want a president who foreign leaders consider easy to deal with. I want a president who works for me, not for Canada or any other foreign nation.

“I tell you, if you want to see a contrast between a civilized, modest, thoughtful, generous leadership and what you’re seeing today, there you go.”

Hey Brian, here’s a fricking clue for you.

We did see it.

And we rejected it. So suck on that.

Love,

L

[nwrep]

Two bad should be Three bad (Souter)

[TChad]

Both Bushes were excellent at getting nothing significant done.

[FatherofFive]

No

“””””””””Both Bushes were excellent at getting nothing significant done.””””””””””””””””

Actually they both got a lot done.........for other countries.

Mulroney, you are a nobody Canadian. American taxpayer money protects your sorry nation, and you know it. Do you know how many operating fighters there are in the whole Canadian Armed Forces, try under 100.

We protect your County while you let in untold numbers of worthless immigrants that go immediately on the dole. FU you GD snowflake sh!t.

MAGA!

[Eddie01]

really?

watch this...

From pipelines to NAFTA, Trudeau is blowing it

[hinckley buzzard]

Mulroney should reflect on the fact that GHW Bush was a humiliated failed one term president. So much for “civilized modesty” in the Commander in Chief of the mightiest nation the world has ever seen.

[Eddie01]

"George Bush was fantastic and still is," Mulroney told an audience in Ottawa. "I tell you, if you want to see a contrast between a civilized, modest, WEAK, PATHETIC, MILQUETOAST, thoughtful, generous leadership and what you're seeing today, there you go."
