Bush talks to Fuji TV

July 3rd, 2008 by James

Here’s a short clip of some highlights from an interview with President George W. Bush conducted by Fuji TV earlier this week:

In the interview Bush assures the Japanese people that he understands their concerns about the North Korea abductee issue, reminding them of his meeting with Megumi Yokota’s parents. He also mentions his desire to enjoy some mountain biking when he comes to Hokkaido this month for the G8 summit.

A full transcript can be found on Asahi’s English site: 1, 2, 3.

“consequencal”? “porent”?

Am I hearing things, simply misspelling them, or is he making up words?

Look up the words “consequential” and “abhorrent.”

Probably the only white man in Japan that will not be interrogated by the Koban Keystones.

Although he is taking a risk if he goes mountain biking.
“Riding A Bicycle While White” is grounds for being “ayashi”
and subject to “random” checks by stupid police.

I would pay good money to see them try. I think the Secret Service might object, and hilarity would ensue. ;-)

So this is the controversial commercial with the monkey?

They didn’t “ban it”. The company made the choice to take it off the air because of a few negative complaints. CNN picked up the story after the matter had been settled and tried to excacerbate it.
