BUSH: CLAP ME OR NO EU SPEECH


Mar 8 2003




By Paul Gilfeather


GEORGE Bush pulled out of a speech to the European Parliament when MEPs wouldn't guarantee a standing ovation.

Senior White House officials said the President would only go to Strasbourg to talk about Iraq if he had a stage-managed welcome.

A source close to negotiations said last night: "President Bush agreed to a speech but insisted he get a standing ovation like at the State of the Union address.

"His people also insisted there were no protests, or heckling.

"I believe it would be a crucial speech for Mr Bush to make in light of the opposition here to war. But unless he only gets adulation and praise, then it will never happen."

Mr Bush's every appearance in the US is stage-managed, with audiences full of supporters.

It was hoped he would speak after he welcomed Warsaw pact nations to Nato in Prague last November. But his refusal to speak to EU leaders face-to-face is seen as a key factor in the split between the US-UK coalition and Europe.

The source added: "Relations between the EU and the US are worsening fast - this won't help."

That's pretty pathetic.

:ak47: george bush

*american politics* :(

If its true.. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Thanks George....

I say that we have Christopher Walken as the next president.

So much for democracy and freedom of speech.

Bushes view is "You can both so long as you agree with me"

What a pussy.

:zzwhip

He's smart. That speech would have been a complete setup to embarrass him...:321GFY

Fuck that, Crispin Glover would do the best job :1orglaugh

ahahahaha, you pathetic Bush/America haters.
I don't want my president standing up infront of a bunch of euro-pansies to be booed. Its common sense. The most powerful man in the world shall not go where he's not welcome. period.

when those of you who are american, mature, you'll see things differently. For US haters like joe sixpack, please know that I laugh at your "I hate the US" posts. I laugh at your pathetic life, and then I stop, think about it again, and laugh my ass off a second time.

It's gotta suck being a no one from no where.:thumbsup
