Bush Proclaims Nelson Mandela Dead On Live TV. Small Problem Though…
*Update – The video was removed from You Tube…I wonder who made them do that? Anyways, here is what he said:
“”I heard somebody say, ‘Where’s Mandela?’,” he said.
“Well, Mandela’s dead because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas.” “
HUH?
**Update #2
Wait, here it is again…for now:
And before anyone says he was using a metaphor, please…he doesn’t even know what that is. And even if he did, would he really have said “Where is Mandela?” and not “Where are THE Mandelas?” Ugh.

Oh darn, the video is no longer available.
No way….I gotta find it again, it was great. (well, not great, per se…)
Ahh – thanks for the updated link. I’m disappointed though because as much as I hate the dope it’s pretty obvious that he was speaking metaphorically, as in “Where’s Iraq’s Nelson Mandella” and GW is trying to say “If there was an Iraqi Nelson Mandella that he was dead, and Saddam had killed him..” blah blah blah. But he has no grace in expressing an idea with any subtlety, which is anything less than obvious, and so he does in fact sound like a complete idiot, which when you look at the job he has I have to conclude that he is no better than a complete idiot would be at it.
