Bush Hatred

It's always easy to toss off some remarks about US politics, because everything there is in such broad brushstrokes. My thoughts on the famous snubbing of bush II at the G-20 photo-op, are that most of those politicians are assholes, thieves, thugs, and/or killers and hypocrites, just like bush II. I'm sure that they don't really like each other (or themselves)* that much either. And there's nothing extraordinary about policy differences. Nobody, but nobody on that stage probably feels that it is always and everywhere forbidden to resort to arms when confronted. So I really don't think they're mad at bush II for the invasion of Iraq or anything else.** But that just means that bush II must've been a particularly obnoxious presence on the international stage. He must've swaggered and insulted and told bad jokes until they just couldn't take it anymore.

*Obviously self-hatred can co-exist with self-adulation.
**Unless bush II's extreme disregard for international law and his imbecility on global warming really did offend their sensitivities and values?
