THE WASHINGTON JOKE

...in other words,
"BUSH BEGS RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINSTER TO MEET WITH HIM AND LOSES IN A VAIN ATTEMPT TO LOOK PRESIDENTIAL"

Originally by an AP Reporter who shall remain nameless

Translated by Mac MacArthur

Here is an example of the usual poor reporting by the AP and The Washington Post, a rag of a newspaper that prints half-truths like this with consistency.

Questions come to mind instantly.  For instance, why didn't the Post print the fact that it was the Bush team -- and especially CryBaby Vomiting Daddy Bush -- who pleaded with some radical Russians to have Minister Ivanov meet in some hotel room with BushBaby?  I mean, think about it: here is the second most important man in international relations meeting with some punk who thinks he should be president because he is related to a few of them --  to make him look good.

What's really going on here?  

Also, was the Russian Minister truly interested in meeting with George DumbBellYou, or simply going through the motions more like a man going to dinner at his in-laws rather than fighting with his wife?  

There is much more to this seemingly innocuous story than meets the eye -- and I have some friends -- both inside the Russian government and inside the US State Department who gave me the lowdown on what truly occurred here.  But first, read this Post/AP story and then read the truth below each paragraph..

WASHINGTON –– George W. Bush met today with Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov, talking of peace and progress though still disagreeing over U.S. proposals to build a national missile defense system.

This is true, but one should know that it took several months to arrange this get-together with W. and Igor -- a close ally of the Clinton Administration.  In fact, Vladimir Putin and Ivanov have no use for the entire Bush family. This is well-known and has surfaced time and again among Russian democratic forces for the past decade -- including during the 1992 race between Bush Senior and Bill Clinton.

Bush, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, said the two men discussed boosting U.S. investment in Russia and spoke of "our dreams and aspirations for our respective countries."

I love the use of the word "presumptive" here, in that referring to BushBaby it has a double meaning:  presumptive because he is NOT the GOP nominee, and PRESUMPTIVE because this loony toon actually thinks he can enter the Oval Office because of an accident of birth.

But more importantly, what is omitted from this paragraph is telling.  First, it is Russia that desperately needs further U.S. investment in that nation -- and it is Russia who brought this up to Bush. Bush, eager to re-start the Cold War, has no intention of either helping Russia gain its economic footing or cleaning up the oligarchs who have emerged in Russia much as they did in the late 19th and early 20th Century in the United States.  Ivanov -- ironically -- must have been laughing when he asked Bush about what he might do to increase such investment by U.S. and Allied businesses.  We are certain, though, that Bush offered his buddy in the funeral industry as a possible "purchaser" of all Russian mortuaries, casket fabrication companies and crematories.

"It's time to redefine relations. It's time to think differently," Bush said, noting that he and Ivanov were among the oldest people in the meeting room and suggesting the future of the next generations is at stake.

Tee, hee,  hee.  All Bush could say was that he and Ivanov were older that other people in the hotel room.  Wow!  Impressive.  And... why is the future of the next generation at stake?  Is Bush suggesting that the two nations will again be at odds under his Administration -- fantasy as it may be?

Ivanov, in town to meet with Clinton administration officials, came to Bush's hotel for the hour-long meeting. The foreign minister has repeatedly requested a meeting with Bush through the Russian ambassador.

This is a complete lie, or at least a partial one. It was the Bush minions who pressured Ivanov through several critical doorways within Russia to meet the presumptive brat.  Anyone who has taken an IR 101 course knows that meeting W. before meeting with the White House would be an unacceptable slur.  Ivanov did not repeatedly request such a meeting, and as a matter of fact showed only mild interest in meeting Little Bush -- "just in case he gets in the White House."

Bush also was meeting today with members of Congress and headlining a record $18 million fund-raiser for the Republican Party tonight.

Bush may have been meeting with "members of Congress" today, but the only ones interested were those who needed money to fight their losing campaigns.  The part about the fund-raiser is true.  But it won't raise $18 million-- more like $8-10 million -- with near 50% of the attendees getting in for free, to fill the room.

Joining Bush in the meeting were his chief foreign policy adviser, Condoleeza Rice, and nuclear weapons expert Paul Wolfowitz, who was an undersecretary of defense in the administration of Bush's father.

True again. But Condoleeza Rice -- an oxymoronic Republican Black woman -- is no prize in this area.  Rice was a token in the Bush Administration, much as dimwit Supreme Court Justice Slappy Thomas and genuine achiever General Colin Powell were.   I have actually heard high-level GOP leaders call them the "The 3 Horsefaces of the Apocalypse."  Rice serves multiple purposes to the Bush Baby. First, she is black. Second, she is a black Republican -- a thing so rare as to represent only 1 1/1000 of one percent of all Americans of African descent and -- I'll bet -- all blacks on earth.  Third, she is a woman.  Bush, who has done nothing much for minorities except pose with them uncomfortably now and again for the media, is certainly no champion of blacks in this country. He recently sold his home, complete with an unaltered deed with forbade blacks to live on that property.  Although unconstitutional, Bush did not bother to strike this part of the deed, and neither did his racist lawyers who handled the deal.  Rice is also very good looking, complete with processed hair to make her look like a white model with a heavy tan.  This completes the quintuple value to her presence.

Russians, by the by, have little patience for minorities -- and were certainly not interested in sitting around a hotel room with Rice or Paul Wolfowitz, a lackey in the Bush Sr. Administration.  It gets one wondering whether Bush will choose Dan Quayle as his running mate. Why not? He's surrounded himself with Daddy's old discards thus far.

Ivanov was joined by a bevy of aides. He didn't comment after the meeting, which one aide described as "excellent."

Ivanov was joined by so many aides, because they were all so curious to see the Bush brat up close.  Among the aides were at least three former KGB experts on the American political process, a psychoanalyst, and a circus clown who became an expert on princely ascension under Yeltsin.  Ivanov considered the meeting excellent because he was able to view Bush The Younger up close and realize that the punk would never get elected -- and thereby threaten Russia with yet another Republican-led arms race, led by them to honor their buddies who manufacture these arms.

In fact, only a short time ago, it was rumored that several high level American diplomats, CIA personnel, and experts from the National Security Agency were summoned to the Kremlin to answer the Russian's most pressing question today:  "Can this idiot Bush really get elected? And what can we do to help stop it without breaking the law?"  The U.S. took that meeting and, of course, could not assure Putin or Ivanov that Bush would not be elected -- at least not on the record. However, in informal meetings, U.S. representatives explained that Bush could not escalate military spending even if he wished to because he would be crippled with either a do-nothing Congress or one controlled by the Democrats.  Many days were spent attempting to quell the fear of the Russians that their slow progress toward a functioning market economy would not be destroyed by a trigger-happy BushBaby. Should W. be elected, the Russians knew they would have to spend a huge percentage of their budget on negating the anti-ballistic missile system -- "Star Wars," not to be confused with the other right-wing conspiracy "Starr Wars."  It amazed the Russians that Bush Junior could be so stupid as to adopt the wild fantasies of a feeble-minded Alzheimer's victim like Ronnie Reagan who thought up this idea while playing Pong with Nancy.

Bush favors rewriting the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty so that the United States can develop a national anti-missile system. Russia opposes such a move, fearing such a system could undercut its nuclear defenses. Just this week, Ivanov wrote an article in The New York Times arguing in favor of the existing arrangement.

Of course. That is how he is raising an unbelievable amount of money from the fascists who control the military-industrial complex (yes, it still exists). It's come to the point where the relatives of everyone working in this and the aerospace weapons sector are giving money to Bush in the names of their unborn great-great-grandchildren.

I find it amusing that AP and the Post could cite the New York Times piece which was nothing less than a warning to the GOP not to build this system without sharing it with the Russians -- and not realize that the man who wrote it couldn't possibly "hope" to meet BushBaby because he was so impressed with him. No, he wanted to see his enemy up front and thus better calculate how to insure his defeat in November. One thing's for sure -- Russia and others will unite -- for the first time -- in making it clear to Americans that BushBrat is unacceptable to most of the rest of the world as presidential material. It should be interesting to watch the Bush staff try to deal with that.

"There is a disagreement over that and I explained to him my position as to why we need to develop a system to protect ourselves and our allies against a rogue missile launch, against any missile launch," Bush said. "It's part of redefining a post-Cold War era.

This is BushSpeak for: "Hey. Tough luck for the friggin' Russkies. They're still all a bunch of Commmies waiting to put Lenin's portrait back in Red Square. Sure, I'll say this system is to stop incoming scuds from Mexico -- but we all know the truth, don't we? It's the sneaky Chinks and the Reds we're gearing up for!"

"I made it very clear that I was going to think in the best interests of the United States. First and foremost, and the best interest of our country is to figure out how to keep the peace," Bush added.

Yep.  Figg'r it out, W!   Yes, make it clear that it is your own nation who comes to mind first -- as if this is a revolutionary idea.  And yes, adopt that wrinkled old phrase, "keep the peace," which really means "have a few small wars.""  And it is this boy who sponsored and signed legislation allowing drunken Texans to carry concealed handguns into WWF matches.

Bush said Ivanov told him that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to create a Russian economy that attracts more U.S. investment.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.  And I am certain that Ivanov HAD to tell BushBaby this -- because otherwise he couldn't possibly have known -- and I am not joking.

"I would hope that takes place," Bush said. "I think it's in our best interest for your nation to have a strong economy. It is also in our best interest to talk about nuclear security."

Talk about diplomatic tact! Here's BushBaby dismissing Putin's remarks to Ivanov with another needle on developing "nuclear security."  What a moron.

Rice said Bush made it clear to Ivanov that he was speaking as a private citizen and not as a representative of the United States government. She also said the two discussed Chechnya. Bush has criticized Russia's use of force in the breakaway republic.

Yes Condoleeza is no fool. That's why she is an opportunistic hypocrite "Black Republican."  She may have said this -- but Bush, according to our sources, never did. As a matter of fact, he posed as if he were the President of the United States and even mentioned how many President's genes flowed in his blood.
