How many days until January 21, 2009?
U.S. President George W. Bush's penchant for slangy speech was always apparent from the nicknames he bestows on reporters, and it doesn't stop with other leaders.
Yesterday, as leaders of the G8 chatted with the heads of seven African nations, a televised feed of their summit in Japan picked up some of the chit-chat before a closed-door meeting, including Mr. Bush's casual style of address with the Prime Minister of Canada.
Mr. Bush slung a casual arm over Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua for a chat, until he caught sight of Stephen Harper. “Yo, Harper!” he called, bringing him over for an introduction. (The Globe & Mail)
This is stupid Bush as usual, but I wish he had tried to pronounce the Nigerian President's name. THAT I would want to see on the news.

Well, this is just a follow-on from the infamous Yo Blair comment from a couple of years ago.
Does anyone think Bush looks more and more like a man who doesn't give a hoot? Its like, I've got a few months to go and I'm going to enjoy every single minute! He's not even trying.
Phoning it in, I believe. He always has, but he's just way more obvious about it now.
Prediction: Sometime between now and the end of his term, some reporter will ask about his attitude and he will answer "I don't give a shit".
