It has to be seen — quite funny (and just a little bit creepy).
From the same source, another Bush joke, this one above average:
How many members of the Bush Administration are needed to replace a light bulb? Seven:
“1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be replaced,
“2. One to attack and question the patriotism of anyone who has questions about the light bulb,
“3. One to blame the previous administration for the need of a new light bulb,
“4. One to arrange the invasion of a country rumored to have a secret stockpile of light bulbs,
“5. One to get together with Vice President Cheney and figure out how to pay Halliburton Industries one million dollars for a light bulb,
“6. One to arrange a photo-op session showing Bush changing the light bulb while dressed in a flight suit and wrapped in an American flag,
“7. And finally one to explain to Bush the difference between screwing a light bulb and screwing the country.”
It’s funny, and it’s also not so funny.

You might want to keep on eye on the ‘Puppy:
“I think that a rethinking of the laws of war is probably in order. The Geneva Conventions have acquired a quasi-mystical status in the minds of some (most of whom haven’t actually read them), but they’re merely another set of international agreements, and the world has changed rather a lot since they were adopted.”
Shorter version:
“Checks and balances, who needs ’em? Humanitarian concerns are for pussies, and POWs deserve whatever they get. God bless America.”

(I suppose this is consistent with the position he expressed last week, that the right to free speech should also be reconsidered)

Hey, the conventions are just a piece of paper. They’re quaint.
They’re also something that the US has committed to, and to dismiss them as blithely as Instapuppy and Don Rumsfeld have is simply staggering. Imagine if Clinton had made such a decision in secret….imagine the firestorm of self-righteous damnation.

Especially given that Rumsfeld’s first reaction when American soldiers were captured in Iraq was to invoke the Geneva Conventions and darkly promise swift retribution if they were violated. I think at the time he even pointed out that videotaping or photographing the captives was in violation of the conventions… oops.
