| "Dubya will be a weak President because
he's an intellectual void who only got interested in politics late in life
when old man Bush told him that the White House kitchen makes a nice jelly
sandwich and behind the West Wing there's a really neat putting green."
The Guardian (UK) Andrew Rawnsley in New York Sunday November 26, 2000 |
| "Mr Bush could hardly be regarded, even
by his strongest supporters, as a distinguished candidate. His achievements
outside politics are far from outstanding. His performance as a politician
has been patchy. During this campaign, he has shown a worrying inability
to comprehend the intricacies of the American budget and an even more disconcerting
lack of familiarity with the essentials of geopolitics."

| "As a youth, G.W. inserted firecrackers
in frogs and watched them explode."

| "A man who has left his native country all
of three times in his 53 years, cannot pronounce Slobodan Milosevic, thinks
the National Rifle Association is just tickety-boo and is in thrall to
the global corporations, those most sinister of superpowers, may by tomorrow
night be the most powerful man in the world ..."
Irish Times (Ireland) Opinion Kathy Sheridan Monday November 6 2000 |
| "Bush is a good proposition for Russia if
only because he is inexperienced in foreign policy."
Pravda (Russia) Opinion Tuesday, November 7 2000 |
| "Bush has been arrogant, not waiting for
the final result before declaring himself the winner and beginning to work
on his
transition ..." China Daily (China) Agencies via Xinhua Saturday November 13 2000 |
| "George W. Bush has, politically speaking,
always sat in the back row. His personal motto seems to be "Ignorance is
bliss.""
Holsteinischer Courier (Germany) Opinion Tuesday November 7 2000 |
| "George W. Bush lacks the needed experience
and he is supported by many forces that are not friendly to Israel or to
the Jewish people."
