You know, there is probably not one of us who upon reading this, could not remember ourselves doing this once or twice (asking something we already know the answer to).

Consider that the G-20 Summit occurred in Washington D.C., the month after this interchange became public. I doubt they scheduled it on Rudd’s say-so.

The G-20 Leaders Summit on Financial Markets and the World Economy took place on November 14–15, 2008, in Washington, D.C.

10 October – Prime Minister Kevin Rudd receives a phone call from U.S. President George W. Bush during a dinner party at The Lodge. A subsequent edition of The Australian newspaper reports that during the call, President Bush asked Rudd what the G-20 was. Although the White House and the Prime Minister deny this exchange took place, the Opposition uses the event to question Mr Rudd’s discretion.[35]

[...] Since Palin can see Canada from her home, one would have thought that two countries would have been clear (Canada and the United States). That would still be a passing grade of 66 percent, even if she missed Mexico. NAFTA is particularly bizarre since it impacts Alaska and, given Palin’s claim of executive experience and pro-business savvy, it should have been well known to the governor of a neighboring state. Of course, George Bush told the head of another country recently that he did not know what the G20 was. [...]

Surely Mr. Turley, a 30 second check on this would have revealed this never happened, but I guess you are too lazy.

My my what will the little Turley do when Bush is no longer President. Who will he HATE then?

One more example of the Bush intellect and work ethic. No wonder we are in the economic crapper that we are in with this guy at the helm.

“I am personally returning my Milko chews and releasing my Koala bears.”

Still laughing out loud. Thanks. And GOOD LORD won’t it be nice to have someone in the Oval Office with the intellect, demeanor, curiosity, and skill set fitting the job!! I’m still scared but so excited I can hardly stand it.
