All that meat seems to have gone to his head...

As John Howard introduced George W Bush at this morning's press conference, Mr Bush announced, "I'm looking forward to you buying me lunch... I like meat". Now, is that John Howard buying lunch or the Australian tax payer?? Hmm...

I'm quite sure Mr Bush does like meat - coming from Texas and all. It just seems that all that meat has gone to his head... He seemed quite convincing in his opening address; obviously, it was clearly scripted and pre-rehearsed. The US President actually made sense and I could actually follow his train of thought. Yet when the floor was opened up to questions, a large porterhouse must have plonked itself firmly upon Mr Bush's brain. I couldn't follow anything he was saying! He'd begin to answer the question and then jump to another thought, while in the middle of the previous thought. In answering Mark Riley's question, Mr Bush began to talk about not pre-empting the results of the Federal election by saying, "I don't trust the Australian people", was that meant to be "I don't want to misjudge the Australian people"...?? In responding to claims the Chinese government hacked into the Pentagon, Mr Bush said that the relationship with China was complex, yet open and candid... and then there was tension and mistrust... and that he wanted the Chinese to spend more... but then trade levels with China have increased dramatically.

This kind of meat head dialect seems to be contagious, because as I read my above paragraph I can't even decipher my observations of the US President...

It is quite amusing to note that George Bush brought with him 650 support staff - including a chef! Why? He's staying at one of Sydney's top hotels! The Australian tax payers are paying good money for him to receive 5-Star service and he brings his own bloody chef! Obviously he's a bit picky about how he takes his steak...

Any thoughts?
