Does he think this will deliver a right wing election win or something?

Stumbled across the following article in todays Age...

Bush to meet Dalai Lama

GEORGE Bush is to become the first American president to meet the Dalai Lama in public.

Mr Bush will meet him next month in a gesture that risks infuriating the Chinese Government. They will meet at a ceremony in front of the symbol of American democracy, the Capitol Building, where the Tibetan leader will be presented with the Congressional Gold Medal.

Do I have to be the first to break it to him, about the only thing he can do to try and help his party not get so badly defeated in next years U.S. federal election is to bring the troops home, and possibly for Bush* to lock himself away until after the election is over?

If anyone doesn't get it yet, this is just a publicity ploy, only thing is, except for the die hard Bush* supporters who don't have an ounce of brain between them, no other person in this world will believe this crap.

Time for the republican party to turn over a new page. The current one is getting torn and worn.
