I nearly choked when I heard on the radio that he'd unexpectedly dropped in for dinner at a "Kensington diner". Not because he was there, but describing Osteria de Medici as a diner is like describing Bush as a former government employee. And yet the folksy appellation continues to follow him.

Bush is still proud of what he's done. That is what makes me sick.

shocking that bush want- to- be's are forking out(likely as tax write off's) $400 to hear this thug in a suit talk about anything. Why not mail the US Rep party $400. Better yet mail $400 to the military industrial contractors of the USA/Britian who gained the most from bush corrupt empire building leaving the US the most hated country in the world. Hope some protester heaves a lead shoe at criminal bush as he exits via the back door on his way to another $$$$$$$$ talk circuit.
