Of Toothpastes & Politics

What is it about Bush’s obsession with toothpastes??

In a press conference about antiballistic missiles held in the aftermath of the Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in Shanghai, Bush told the press, that himself and President Putin of Russia (some big time macho ex KGB chief) likes the same toothpaste!

Then in another press conference in the White House, when asked what he has in common with Tony Blair, Bush says they share the same Colgate toothpaste!

Later in yet another one-to-one interview with BBC’s Steven Sackur, with a tongue in the cheek, Steven asked Bush how he knew Tony Blair and he was using the same toothpaste? Bush says, “I didn’t know! I was trying to find out!”

You know, I was never a fan of Bush but he sure does crack me up sometimes... With more jokes like that about toothpastes in serious antiballistic missiles conferences, the Americans might just love him enough to re-elect their darling into his 3rd term of office if that was possible. But thank God for some intimidating constitutions in the US that disallows a president to serve office for more than 8 years, Bush's 3rd term is no more possible.

But little do we know is that in January last year, a new legislation called the “Doomsday legislation” was passed very quietly in the Congress to allow elected legislators to change laws or constitutions in the event of serious natural disasters, attack from another country..etc, basically doomsday situations… So who knows, our toothpaste friend might find just enough crack to slip through to the 3rd term… It is not easy, but it’s possible…. For the love of toothpastes, good luck, President Bush.

So, he distracts people by talking about toothpastte. The whole world gets obsessed about his apparent toothpaste obsession and don't notice the legislation ... very cunning ;)

If you hear Pak Lah talking about Sparkle or Darlie, better beware!
