President George Bush: 'Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter'

George Bush surprised world leaders with a joke about his poor record on the environment as he left the G8 summit in Japan.

The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter."

He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.

Mr Bush, whose second and final term as President ends at the end of the year, then left the meeting at the Windsor Hotel in Hokkaido where the leaders of the world's richest nations had been discussing new targets to cut carbon emissions.

...but what a complete arsehole.

The "new targets" are a joke anyway. All it really did was procrastinate on issues that need immediate addressing. Bush might have added the cherry on top of the BS, but the rest of the leaders contributed to the pile.

Yet "conservative" apologetics screaming for everyone to respect the office of the presidency wonder as to why San Fransiscans named a sht dump after the idiot.
There is nothing about this sack of **** president that deserves any respect.

they also weren't particularly concerned about "respect for the office" when they were all making careers out of attacking Clinton for his personal life

And by "personal life" you mean sexually harassing women and lying under oath and perjuring himself in a sexual harassment law suit.
