Well the thing is that the people who keep ripping on our president don't usually live in the United States. If you look Amigosdefox is form Mexico.

The whole thing seems to center around a slip or two that's not worth that level of annoyance. Regardless of how you feel about the war in Iraq, that commedian guy was kind of going over the top with it. It comes across as a little self-opinionated and perhaps more motivated by political differences than genuine annoyance.

You guys seem to be taking it a bit far.

Making fun of G. Bush isn't any different then the way people were ( & still are ) making fun of the Royal familly in the UK, or Boris Eltsin when he was "almost" sober, etc.

G. Bush just happens to be the latest "fashion", that's it. After him it'll be someone else.

Take a chill pill.

Personally, I think Malloy is a little too full of himself.......not unlike a person that will cut down or undermine others to make himself look good. Don't get me wrong.....I'm not a Bush fan by a long stretch (or most other politicians, regardless of affiliation) but people make mistakes.
Yes, it's funny to listen to, but not as idiotic as this guys sounds just by poking fun at him.

Just my $.02

Ripping on the president is fun, mainly because he's so stupid. Same as ripping on Clinton because he's such a horn dog. Freedom of speech, gotta love it.

LoL!

That was just great after hearing the (original) clip of Bush jr...

The CYM in Oslo has got new members who's better to talk coherently when adressing the public than he is... And some of them aren't very good.......

As for why it's funny, well... Here is the guy who's thought of as the most powerful man in the world, and yet he seems to have problems stringing a couple of words together in such a way that they have a meaning...

But it's not like it's only Bush who's being ridiculed... Quite the opposite, most heads of state are being ridiculed in the same way, but Bush is having way more publicity internationally, and thus is getting the most attention online...

here is one making fun of the norwegian prime ministers spoken english... (Though made into a rap)
