Dear President Bush,
You wear it like a badge, proudly on display as a show of solidarity to all the high school drop outs and Miss Carolina contestants out there in this country, but sir, you are a fucking idiot.
Nelson Mandela is still very much alive despite an embarrassing gaffe by U.S. President George W. Bush, who alluded to the former South African leader’s death in an attempt to explain sectarian violence in Iraq.
“It’s out there. All we can do is reassure people, especially South Africans, that President Mandela is alive,” Achmat Dangor, chief executive officer of the Nelson Mandela Foundation, said as Bush’s comments received worldwide coverage.
In a speech defending his administration’s Iraq policy, Bush said former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s brutality had made it impossible for a unifying leader to emerge and stop the sectarian violence that has engulfed the Middle Eastern nation.
“I heard somebody say, Where’s Mandela?’ Well, Mandela’s dead because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas,” Bush, who has a reputation for verbal faux pas, said in a press conference in Washington on Thursday.
Please go back to chopping trees and making bad business decisions.

i’m actually very surprised that this story hasn’t gotten more play in the south african press. i’ve only been hearing about it from the us side…

That is odd. Maybe the rest of the world expects such idiocy from this guy that it’s no longer considered newsworthy?

You can’t exactly say that Mr.Bush is the sharpest knife in the drawer. He probably should be best compared with the sharpness of an golfball

He ain’t sharp. However he is shrewd.
