I was just gonna make a post about the 8 movies that I’ve seen in the past 3 weeks. I know, that’s a bit excessive, but hey, Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) had some good’uns this time around. Anyway, I have to save that for next time since there has been breaking news.. at least I think it’s breaking news. Well, it sure is broken.

Philippine Presdient (and idiot) Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo came to the United States to meet with US President (and idiot) George Bush to talk about their plans to ruin the world and reap all the money US-Philippine foreign relations. These two have a lot in common, but it’s apparent both these presidents butcher Filipinos. Some more literal than the other. But that’s not the breaking news. During the June 24th meeting of the two, Bush says,

PRESIDENT BUSH: Madam President, it is a pleasure to welcome you back to the Oval Office. We have just had a very constructive dialogue. First, I want to tell you how proud I am to be the President of a nation that — in which there’s a lot of Philippine-Americans. They love America and they love their heritage. And I reminded the President that I am reminded of the great talent of the — of our Philippine-Americans when I eat dinner at the White House. (Laughter.)

PRESIDENT ARROYO: Yes.

PRESIDENT BUSH: And the chef is a great person and a really good cook, by the way, Madam President.

PRESIDENT ARROYO: Thank you.

Told you! Idiot! Read the entire transcript here. The entire talk was just stupid. (Sorry for lack of evidence… or too much evidence – which ever way to decide to look at it.) After reading the transcript I was reminded of what Bayan Philippines secretary general Renato Reyes Jr. said about these two prior to the meeting:

“It would be a meeting of the ‘Unpopulars’. Both presidents have plummeting approval ratings in their own countries. Both presidents have dismal human rights records. Both presidents support unconditionally the so-called global war on terror. The only difference is that one cracks the whip while the other follows without question.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself.
