[The Wisdom of a Distracted Mind] Dear World: Sorry Again.

There's nothing I can say. As an American citizen, I am embarrassed, humiliated and disgraced by the actions of the obviously disturbed human being who I am forced to call my president. The man has no class. No manners or taste. He has no concept of right or wrong. He has no conscience. He's nothing more than a petty, little sociopath, and I wish someone, somewhere, would slap the ever-living shit out of this damaged man who is nothing short of the most boorish, arrogant, dimwitted and dangerous leader of any developed nation anywhere.

Seriously, people. Get a load of this:

President George Bush: 'Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter'

George Bush surprised world leaders with a joke about his poor record on the environment as he left the G8 summit in Japan.

The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter."He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.

[...]

One official who witnessed the extraordinary scene said afterwards: "Everyone was very surprised that he was making a joke about America's record on pollution."

Mr Bush also faced criticism at the summit after Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian Prime Minister, was described in the White House press pack given to journalists as one of the "most controversial leaders in the history of a country known for government corruption and vice".

The White House apologised for what it called "sloppy work" and said an official had simply lifted the characterisation from the internet without reading it.

There's no amount of begging anyone can do in order to earn the forgiveness of the world for this man's actions and the actions of his administration. As a nation, we are all to blame. And those in both houses should carry the black mark of their inaction when their time for reelection comes up. They've allowed this clueless monstrosity of a president to continue far too long.

I don't care who you are, or to what inane political party you believe you are eternally hitched, the fact remains that George Bush has utterly destroyed our nation's standing in the world.

It's pathetic that, as a nation, we Americans can sit here and watch this disaster continue in the hopes of hiding our shame and disgrace until January when this idiot is replaced by someone hopefully a little more intelligent and considerably less embarrassing and corrupt.

This man --this pathetic, chattering, uneducated, little man-- has sucked the joy, the pride, and the meaning out of being an American. Whatever good which we as a people had, George Bush has stripped that away with his own bungling arrogance and ineptitude.

I just can't apologize for this son of a bitch anymore. American's shouldn't have to. But, this man-child represents us as a people, and the fact is, when he acts like this, it is a harsh reflection upon us all, and we should be horribly, hopelessly ashamed of this inhuman, incompetent, arrogant waste of skin we call the President of the United States.

What kind of adult says the things George Bush does? Who in their right mind would act like this idiot and not expect to get the shit kicked out of them?

This is just getting sickening.
