Pres. Bush then drove off in a Camaro blasting ‘Sister Christian’
July 12, 2008 at 3:58 pm by Thomas Wheatley in NewsPresident George Bush recently attended the G8 Summit in Japan. His kind farewell to other world leaders convinced Americans abroad to continue stitching Canadian flags on their backpacks.
The Telegraph reports, with emphasis added:
The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: “Goodbye from the world’s biggest polluter.”
He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.
Mr Bush, whose second and final term as President ends at the end of the year, then left the meeting at the Windsor Hotel in Hokkaido where the leaders of the world’s richest nations had been discussing new targets to cut carbon emissions.
One official who witnessed the extraordinary scene said afterwards: “Everyone was very surprised that he was making a joke about America’s record on pollution.”
