Dubya: "I'm a cricket match person"
US President George W Bush said this week "I'm a cricket match person" - and he'll have a chance to show it at a cricket event during his brief upcoming trip to Pakistan.

Details were hard to come by, but White House aides said on Friday that Bush was expected to mingle with cricket-playing children and meet of the sport's professional players during his stop in Pakistan. It was unclear whether the US president, a avid baseball fan, would bat or bowl.

"It is planned as an opportunity for him to watch and learn a little bit about it. But, you know, who knows what he'll do?" said Bush national security adviser Stephen Hadley. "I have not asked him."

The president himself left no doubt that he'd rather play cricket than see a Bollywood movie, telling reporters on Wednesday that given the choice: "I'm a cricket match person."

"As I understand it, I may have a little chance to learn something about cricket. It's a great pastime," he said.

2. He cannot form a coherent phrase....
His butchering of the English language is the stuff of legends.

3. Cricket's a good sport
If you don't believe me then my advice would be to watch some of last season's Ashes series, the 2nd test at Edgebaston inpaticular. :-)

I'm just wondering if any of the fast bowlers will start bowling bouncers at him.

11. Thanks, I've never seen it before.
The caption describes Bush**'s sick mentality to this day.

"Bush delivers an illegal but gratifying right...."

:wow:

10. Punk.
And this picture shows him to be a the punk that he is.

I am surprised that he didn't get the shit beat out of him by
both teams for being a punk.

8. "But, you know, who knows what he'll do?"
Even money says junior will fall down, if he attempts to play cricket.

Cheer-leading with the girls is more his style. I wonder if he ever did any back flips, or those 360 somersaults in mid air?

12. He's never lived by the rules
He's special. The rules don't apply to him. He does whatever he wants to do. No sportsmanship, no ethics, no morals, no compassion, no heart. Evil.

14. Notice how he is alway telling us what kinda person he is?
He's constantly trying to put out description of who he is. Two types of people do that--someone with no confidence and someone trying to deceive you.
