MANIFESTO

In my opinion, the most amusing story of the week surely had to be the public disagreement of Feckless Leader and South Korea's President Roh Moo-Hyun.

Here's a piece of the transcript:

PRESIDENT ROH: I think I might be wrong -- I think I did not hear President Bush mention the -- a declaration to end the Korean War just now. Did you say so, President Bush?

PRESIDENT BUSH: I said it's up to Kim Jong Il as to whether or not we're able to sign a peace treaty to end the Korean War. He's got to get rid of his weapons in a verifiable fashion. And we're making progress toward that goal. It's up to him.

PRESIDENT ROH: I believe that they are the same thing, Mr. President. If you could be a little bit clearer in your message, I think --

PRESIDENT BUSH: I can't make it any more clear, Mr. President. We look forward to the day when we can end the Korean War. That will end -- will happen when Kim Jong-il verifiably gets rid of his weapons programs and his weapons. Thank you, sir.

And then, of course, President Petulant precipitously ended the get-together and left in a huff. The whole exchange is quite funny when actually heard because Roh's female interpreter's tone is just dripping with sarcasm. One assumes Roh's inflection was comparable.
