41 can't understand why the world doesn't like 43.

"President Bush's father was forced into an emotional defense of his son yesterday in the Persian Gulf when an Arab audience launched a blistering surprise attack on his first-born.

"We do honor Americans, and I believe that they are highly respected in our country. However, we do not respect your son, and we do not respect what you are doing all over the world," college student Nevine Al Rumeisi told the former President at a leadership conference in the United Arab Emirates.

Her comment was roundly cheered by the business and political leaders gathered in once pro-American Abu Dhabi.

The elder Bush just looked stunned."

Oliver Wills has a response:

"News flash: Your son is going to go down in history as one of the worst and least liked presidents in history. On his watch thousands of Americans have died unnecessarily from terror and war, while an entire city drowned as he yucked it up and the government let corruption run wild. Deal with it."
