While reading this article about Bush's question-and-answer session at a university in China, I started pondering what question might I ask Bush if given the opportunity. Would I ask about his overzealous faith, his lack of linguistic skills, or his poor foreign policy and geographical knowledge? Would I ask him about the Enron situation, how a "spiritual shield" is supposed to work, or what is the correct way to swallow a pretzel. So many choices and only one question. That's tough.

I am withholding my choice for the one question I would ask Bush until I give it further thought and hear some of your answers.

If you could ask Bush one question, what would it be?

"Have you stopped beating your wife, yet?"

Sorry. it's the first thing popped into my admittedly nasty mind. Maybe I'll think of a better one later.

Before I read your post and only the question my 1st thought was to say:
Why the fuck are you such a moron? If I could follow that up with another question I'd ask:
IF you supposedly went to a top college then why can't you speak proper English?
But Dim, I like your inquiry about the pretzel almost as much. Even if it might have been a cover up or conspiracy.

Why I'd very politely ask in my best Texas accent, "How much did your Daddy pay someone to go to that fancy Ivy League School for your dear self?" But maybe, I'd be better off asking Jeb, though. Dubya may not have understood the question. So, maybe, I'd ask him if he really hit the snow, was it considered inhaling.

I have got one:

Will you equipe the US army with the same bike than Mola omar used to escape from the US army?

Or may be not, that would be a good way for him to justify military budget increase.

Ya know, I think I might ask,"After all of the 'We're not gonna rest until we smoke out the evil doers,' why aren't bin Ladin's Omar's, et al heads on stakes on the White House lawn?

I don't see no evil doers smoked out. All I see in a bunch Muslim grunts in the Gitmo Gulag.

Huh, Dub? Tell me 'bout it.
