Just remember a few of his so brilliant statements. What a Class Act!!!!!
Four years ago a million people poured into the streets of Britain to march against the war they feared was coming in Iraq. I was in London, and I remember being struck by how decent, sincere and solid the protesters were. Many had come as families—mom and pop and the kids—just to stand up and be counted in favor of reason and diplomacy over sophistry, war and occupation.
Maybe you remember what President George W. Bush had to say about those folks. It tells you a lot about why the United States has so few friends left in the world; why its political allies have been weakened, deposed or defeated and why the public in Europe, especially, is unwilling to believe almost anything Washington says.
This is from the White House transcript of Bush’s remarks on Feb. 18, 2003, three days after huge protests in Britain, Spain and Italy—and one month before the bombing of Baghdad: “First of all, you know, size of protest, it's like deciding, well, I'm going to decide policy based upon a focus group,” Bush told reporters.
A focus group. Sure. Why not compare millions of people of good conscience gathered to exercise their civic duty to handfuls paid for their opinions about the marketing of new soft drinks or campaign slogans? Why would Bush or his acolyte, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, listen to a vast sampling of public concern when the two politicians knew in their hearts they’d already taken the right decision about launching the war.

I wish some of his more willing would step forward and stop some of this embarrasment.
