Prime Minister Chrétien has publicly announced that in his opinion Bush is not a moron. We will report the results of the poll as other world leaders weigh in. [Thanks to Gary Laughing Stock for the link.] Posted

For the record:
As you say here - the current Canadian Prime Minister, Jean Chrétien - formerly known to Presidnot Bush as "Jean Poutine" (http://dewit.ca/archs/poutine/index.html) - has announced that, in his opinion, Bush is not a moron.
I take exception to your headline, however.
The vast majority of Canadians, however (and Canadian residents such as meself), would beg to differ with our PM.
We're still steadfast in our conviction that Mr. Bush is indeed a Triple-A Rated, hardcore, industrial strength, pure, unblended moron.
And the jury's still out on that Poutine guy...

Well, Dubya may not be a moron, but the jury's still out on Ari Fleischer, who claimed that the Prime Minister's Communications Director "doesn't speak for the government of Canada".

The Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, definitely does not believe that George W Bush is a moron. This means, of course, that he must be a moron.

All kidding aside, Bush is, at heart, like a malicious little boy playing with matches inside a straw-filled barn. He's also a puppet, with his strings being pulled by Cheney and Rumsfeld. Were he a moron we'd probably have less worries. That he's a not very intellegent, belocose politician who wants to divert American's energies (and thoughts) away from the domestic disaster he's been creating by pushing so hard for a war, is what's so worrysome. Let the politicos know what you think about all the madness!

It's distressing to see a communications professional use a word so inaccurately. "Moron" (mental age between 8 and 12 years) the guy is obviously not. "Lunatic" (wildly foolish) is the word she was searching for.

I'm not a communications professional. I'm a writer. I'm sticking with "moron."

On behalf of all Canadian, I wish to apologies to the american people for our prime minister director of communication who call George W. Bush a moron. No canadian officially think that dubya is a moron. We are indeed very afraid that the moron ... oups Mr Bush might say that we're hiding weapons of mass distruction.

does it not frighten everyone that he *is* a moron? what's next, a horse in the senate? and blaming islam is right on track, up there with the reichstag (sp?) being blamed on the commies and the fires in rome on the christians. it's funny sometimes how truly cyclical history is.

george is not a moron, if al gore was in the office do you think we would have lives through the 911 crisis? i dont think so. further more i beleive that very few of you are as successfull or educated as this man. give him a break i'd like to see any of you do a better job at what he does. being in the public eye twenty four hours a day can only be taxing to him and if you were seen that often by that man people you could be made to look like tha osbornes. i think you all should give the guy a break, you all need to get lives.

George Bush is NOT a moron ... he's an idiot, Jean Chretien is a moron.

Well there happens to be a petition for support of George Bush being a moron, pretty humerous:

I think that calling Bush a moron leaves much unsaid. The addition of liar; thief; bought the presidential election; had to have his biased treasonous buddies on the Supreme Court give him the office; selling this country away to big business; not fufilling his duties as president by not caring one bit about the American people; and having his dad(former head of the CIA) actually telling him how to get away with it all, should also be mentioned.

The president of the U.S. is deffinatly a moron, the public to let him be controlled by the huge oil companies are also morons.

President Bush has shown the world, by his
eagerness to murder thousands of innocent
Iraqis and by his disregard for the UN,
that he is a terrorist.
Bush, Blair & Hussein should be deported together
to a small desert island and left there to think
about their crimes against humanity.

I'm glad to see someone taking action in Iraq, it's about time someone stops Sadam Hussein. It's unfortunate that the U.S.(Bush) has to take such actions....but in all fairness i'm glad that they did.
Being a Canadian, and seeing out Prime Minister not help with the war, gives me mixed feelings....but please don't take his decision out on the millions of Canadians that do support Bush in his decision.

George Bush isn't a moron. How would you feel if you were in his shoes. We don't know the stresses and how hard it is to be a president. Has humanity gotten to the point where we judge before we know the whole story. The media constructs reality. But what does reality create...lies. I believe he is a leader out for the good of his people and I one for sure will not think of him as a moron.

GWB is a DANGEROUS moron. He is a moron with the blessing of his god. God allows him to be as moronic as possible, and blesses him for doing so. There is nothing quite so pernicious as a moron who is also superstitious, and thinks that some invented deity is coaxing him into self-righteous indignation. His existence is VERY SCAREY.

Please desist from insulting morons. I am a moron but I am smarter than President Bush.
Posted by: SM | December 10, 2003 01:58 AM
He is not a moron, he is just a small boy who lost in the world he cannot understand. He does what his friends ask and friends do what they want without interruption. George go home, Texas, Do not lead this country to the hell!!!

Bush is the only thing standing between Canada and the attacks. As a Canadian I want other Canadians to know that we are hated just as much in the middle east as the Americans are. I don't know why most of us think we are safe from it all.

Bush is uninteligent I think we would all be better off with myself in power in the U S. Being a level head pot smoking CANADIAN I would make a much better president than Bush whom I may point out is a C student (rick november 28 2002). Dubya is a dumb ass
Posted by: James | December 13, 2004 06:55 PM
How any Canadian can look at our current and former prime ministers (Martin and Poutine) and have the gall to criticize Bush is beyond me. He will be recognized as one of the greatest leaders of our time when this is over. By the way, anyone notice that peace is breaking out all over the middle east lately?
Posted by: Wm Juner | March 7, 2005 04:58 PM
I concur that Dubya is not a moron. He cannot manage anything that requires more imput than a yes or no answer, true. His managerial skills pre-presidency atest to that. Therefore he is useless in managing a company, and for that matter a country. It is also true he seems unable to come up with comprehesive or even failingly good excuses for his actions.
Though I re-state, he is not a moron. He is good at one thing and one thing only. Sales. He sold the Republican party, he sold his previous companies, and he sold himself to America. So we cannot call him a moron. We can however call him a car salesman.

and since when does your dad buying you everything you've ever had and every position you've ever held count as being sucessful? GHW Bush could have paid for anything one or thing to be where his son is now and probably will again with another kid or figurehead when this dupe's term is up. come on, does anyone really believe that bush even tries to think for himself?
and no, saddam hussein is not a good guy and should not be the leader of a nation but then he probably wouldn't've been if he hadn't been recieving funds from GHWBush when he was running the CIA. same goes for bin laden. if they didn't want him to be a terrorist they shouldn't've asked him to become one, trained and then armed him. what, they really thought that once he'd kicked the soviets out of afghanistan that he'd just go away? and what kind of rational is it when a bunch of saudis led by a saudi prince attack your country to attack afghanistan and then iraq, two of the most impoverished nations in the region neither of which could possibly pose a threat to your country? i mean, saddam had the full support of the west for the entire decade of the 1980s and couldn't defeat a backwater fundamentalist regime that had just executed it's office corps (namely iran). what possible credible threat could they pose to the most technologically advanced military in history?
i guess this is why the richest nation on the planet's leaders don't want to spend any money on education, eh? wouldn't want the average ignorant american figuring out how blatantly they're being lied to.
like this: tell americans they're living in the land of the free and hope they don't read anywhere that the american goverment incarcerates the highest percentage of it's own population of any country on earth. orwell would have a field day with that one. these days he's seeming pretty optomistic. naw, must be that americans are inherently bad people, couldn't be that it's a police state.

Enjoy listening to Candadians. I wonder about James though. To think George Bush will be thought of positively in an historical context is to be willfully ignorant of what this imposter has done to the world. James, these guys, the Bush administration, are criminally dangerous people. They do not care about the american people beyond their 2,000 closest big business buddies. They view every country as a dangerous enemy, including Canada. These people are genuinelly deranged. King George's legacy will be unfolding, in a democratic fashion, over the next year or two as the rest of my fellow americans determine that this guy is really bad news.
All in all, i consider canadians to be much more enlightened than americans. We are, in a sense, all morons down here. Sad to say. Not enough votes (or crooked voting machines) to keep this fascist idiot from a second term. Unbelievable what he has done. I do hope he's thrown from office and convicted of war crimes. He just exudes hatred of everyone not born rich.
