Curious George Goes to Albania

yabba dabba doo

So, the day after the Big 8 meet to discuss world issues, pollution and take time to swap baseball cards or whatever they do at those overblown photo opportunities of international stature, the Great White Bush heads to Albania. Turns out, they love him there. Standing ovations, swooning crowds, cheers instead of jeers and chants of "Booshie! Booshie"......greeted GW when he stepped onto the Tirana tarmac. According to his spinneroo media folks, GW has frigging rock star status in Albania.

So, what is that all about? Yeah, it has to do with Kosovo independence, but did he head there to make an announcement or did he just want to be the first President of the United States to visit? Was is simply a diversion used to cover up the reality that sweet squat was accomplished at the summit? Was it the only invitation he received from a country close by? Was there a deal in the making to arrange for more trading between the two power countries? What the heck was it all about?

Given that he's tanking in the polls at 28 percent in his own country, maybe his "handlers" thought a rousing out of control bunch of Albanians trying to shake hands with the Prez would go over well in middle America.......where the country of Albania and it's distinctive history always makes the supper news, would help him increase his popularity at home.


Did the handlers really think the average American would say to themselves......"OMG, those rascal Albanians love our Georgie......I should give him my vote of confidence again?"



Or.....how about........



"Look at that Henry............they LOVE him, they REALLY LOVE him......we should give him another chance and forgive him for ruining our reputation around the world. Oh, look.....he's smiling again.........that's our George!!"



Or perhaps his handlers do live outside of a box located in the bowels of the White House and thought they would give Curious George a memory present. Cause one day in the not too distant future, GW will be sitting on the front porch with his ever nodding always smiling wife looking out at his ranch when the realization will hit that he may have blown a thing or two during his halcyon President days. So that he has a grand memory to fall back on, those brilliant bright lights who get paid big bucks to come up with ways and means to make their boss look palatable, decided to take him to the only country left on the planet who could make a big stink about him.



Ah, the glory days..........er day.............er a couple of hours...........spent with his Albanian buddies.



odd.........very odd............and very funny. He takes a licking, but he keeps on ticking.
