He doesn't anger me as much as he seems to anger most people I know. But he apparently loved Hotel Rwanda...watched it twice and wanted to meet with the guy who the story is based around.
Fans in high places
Add President Bush, the first lady, and the cabinet to the fans of Hotel Rwanda, the film about how hotel manager Paul Rusesabagina housed over a thousand Tutsi refugees during their struggle with Hutu militia killers. Bush saw it twice and "loved it" so much, said an aide, that he hoped to meet with Rusesabagina during his trip this week to Europe. That was, until the White House found out the hero was in Washington last Thursday. So after lunch, the first family and Rusesabagina and his wife huddled in the Oval Office. "[Bush] said he was very much moved by the movie," the humanitarian told us. He also said the prez revealed his goal of ending genocide in Sudan's Darfur region. "He's very much concerned about it. He's very much committed to solving the issue."
So it turns out GW has really bad taste in films, I would have expected nothing less....but it's really, really odd that he liked THIS film. It seems to me that a dumbshit liberal would be fooled and suckered by a film like Hotel Rwanda. If Bush wasn't Bush and wasn't cutting taxes to the wealthy, I might be suckered into thinking, by his foreign policy, spending habits, and film tastes, that he was secretly a Progressive Wilsonian Democrat.
