Presidential Mediocrity
Cuba’s foreign minister walked out of the UN General Assembly on Tuesday in protest of President Bush’s speech in which he said the “long rule of a cruel dictator is nearing its end” on the communist island.
The Cuban delegation later issued a statement saying the decision by Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque to leave the session was a “sign of profound rejection of the arrogant and mediocre statement by President Bush.”–AP
I say this as an occasional-to-frequent supporter of President Bush: I’m thrilled when any speech he gives can be described as “mediocre.” Too many of them are so very much worse than that.
