Quote du Jour

GEORGE W. BUSH: I’m looking forward to the feast you’re going to have tonight. I understand I may have the honor of slicing the pig …. I’m optimistic we can still get something done on the Doha Round. It’s going to take work, but G8 is a good place for us to continue the dialogue, and we will. And I guess that’s about all — we discussed a lot of things, in other words. And thank you for having me. I’m looking forward to that pig tonight ….

REPORTER: On both of these. Does it concern you that the Beirut airport has been bombed? And do you see a risk of triggering a wider war? And on Iran, they’ve, so far, refused to respond. Is it now past the deadline, or do they still have more time to respond?

GWB: I thought you were going to ask me about the pig.

REPORTER: I’m curious about that, too.

GWB: The pig? I’ll tell you tomorrow after I eat it.

Good God a-mighty, is there nothing to trite, petty and stupid to come out of Dubya’s mouth?
