President Mushmouth

I heard an NPR report today on Mushmouth's last stop on his You're Peein' tour and all I can say is I can barely understand his version of English, what must the Georgian people think of how we talk?


TBILISI, Georgia - Cheered by tens of thousands in a former Soviet republic,
President Bush urged the spread of democracy Tuesday across the former communist world and beyond, declaring that oppressed people "are demanding their freedom and they shall have it."

Bush said that Georgia, where the peaceful Rose Revolution in 2003 sparked a domino effect of governmental change in the region, was inspiring democratic reformers around the world. "Freedom will be the future of every nation and every people on Earth," he said.

Bush expressed sympathy for Georgia's refusal to grant independence to two separatist regions aligned with Moscow. "The sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia must be respected," he said.

On a warm, spring day, Bush received a tumultuous welcome in Freedom Square, where Soviet forces violently broke up large protests in 1989. It's also where demonstrators gathered in 1991 as the Soviet Union fell and again in 2003 for protests that ousted then-President Eduard Shevardnadze, a former Soviet foreign minister, after fraud-infested elections.

Bush noted that the square once was known as Lenin Square, and he said admiringly that 16 years earlier, "under Lenin's steely gaze, thousands of Georgians prayed and sang and demanded their independence."


Blah, blah, blah.



Moron.
