George II may be a lame duck in the United States. But his political career apparently isn't over. He's seems to be running for president of South America against Hugo Chavez. Of course the two candidates are making the usual promises of largess to the voters. It's left-wing state socialism versus right-wing state capitalism.
"I've come to South America and Central America to advance a positive, constructive diplomacy that is being conducted by my [sic] government on behalf of the American people [!]," Bush said.
"I would call our diplomacy quiet and effective diplomacy -- diplomacy all aimed at helping people, aimed at elevating the human condition [sic], aimed at expressing the great compassion of the American people [!]."
May the best man win.
