george w bush gives business-like welcome for , page-2

"..the Australian prime minister had to make do with a brief handshake and a relatively stony face from the president...."........lol.

"had to make do".....what a classic...lol. Sounds as though the author of this cutting edge journalism....lol...holds George in higher esteem than every thinking person on the planet does.

Sure it's not proper diplomacy by Rudd, and I trust he would've learnt a lesson here, but what better subject to err with than.....the biggest political joke on the planet.....George Bush.

Of course we need to remind ourselves that the very ones who are criticising Rudd for a diplomatic blunder would be the last ones to criticise Bush if the roles had been reversed and it was Rudd who didn't know what the G20 was. Their concern and derision would then be aimed entirely at Rudd for not knowing such basic detail. Suddenly Bush would be elevated to legendary status in their eyes.....oh sorry, the sole eye that each possesses.

Let's not forget, the only ones who are even slightly concerned with this are the dead rights. That's why Rudd's approval rating just keeps getting higher.........
