I remember that event. At the time I was a blind neocon and just blew it off. Now I see what an idiot GW was.
My comment at the time was, “If I did that at my work, I would be fired on the spot.”

People in today’s America are fired for much less.
He was such a moron. Our own Biden
Brilliant idea. This will FORCE Russia to pump gas to Germany.
