but then display or feign outrage when the President of Argentina makes fun of him? I've asked people at work about this and they said that it's not "being" hypocritical. It's like having a family member who happens to be a royal screw up. It's ok to talk about that particular family member because after all, this is family. It's not ok to let an "outsider" talk about our family member. Any thoughts?

Yes,it is hypocritical as well as futile. The whole world has been
making fun of Bush for years,so it's a bit late to get upset about it.
Maybe the next President won't be such an embarrassment.

Yeah, your coworkers are correct in that you are separating yourself from a family member who is bringing embarrassment to you and your family. Though it's easier to disown a family member. When dealing with this 'family member' it's not really a family member.It's a leader of a country.A leader that goes into history,and can change the future, unlike a family member. Don't ever think your country is as close to you as your family.This country,nor does any country, have any personal interest in your well being. I was born and raised in the usa. It just happens to be where I was born and as far as I know, it's the best place to be. I do have my opinions though. This man,Bush, is not and should never have been a leader; damn, he's not a leader. How was he elected? I don't know. WOW , I just had a thought about your coworkers opinion." You can choose your friends but not your relatives". What a sad position this world power has gotten itself into. I pray for this civilization.

Hypocritical is not the word I'd use ..It's disregard for your own country to constantly distract a President who is defending our National Security . Some people obviously don't like it when the insults come their way ..via Chavez . They should just say no to buying Citgo gas from now on .Why should America serve Chavez ?

Why any American would defend George Bush at home or abroad is beyond me. He is the American president most deserving of ridicule since Gerald Ford.

Since he is an idiot anyway, let's all tell the truth. He has done more damage to this country and to the world than any devil could. He is far and away the worst president ever.

I would tend to apologize for having elected him (twice even) rather than defend him.........unless I was from Texas.
Then again, I'm from Canada and we've got our own boneheads to contend with.
Thank God we don't get all the government we pay for.

I don't care who makes fun of him. He's a fool and deserves to be humiliated.
