At the end of an AP article on Bush's day with Jacques Chirac, which was not great but not a complete disaster, there was this tidbit:
"At the news conference, Bush turned curt when a French reporter asked him why his policies were "pushing your country and France to divorce," noting that former President John F. Kennedy had suggested that everyone has two countries - his own and France.
"To paraphrase President Kennedy, there's America and then there's Texas," Bush retorted. He did not elaborate. The purported Kennedy comment was actually originally uttered by President Thomas Jefferson.
Aides later said Bush was just trying to suggest there was another side to matters."

What an idiot! And what an embarrassment. Kinda like calling the Pope "Sir." Who knows what he will say at the D-Day ceremonies.
