Stupid media sentence of the week

From Time Magazine's Tony Karon:

Pyongyang has continually demanded direct talks with the United States, leading to some form of non-aggression treaty--it wants full recognition from Washington and a normalization of relations. But the idea of recognizing a tyrannical regime that starves its own people and violently suppresses any dissent obviously sticks in the craw of President Bush.

AWol with Uzbekistan's President Islam Karimov. (To be fair, "boil" and "starve" are not the same.)


Bush gets advice on violently suppressing dissent from China's Hu.


Pooty-Poot (shown here celebrating flag day with W) has some ideas on the subject as well.

Do you see anything stuck in his craw in any of those pictures? (Smirks don't count.)
