President Bush vs. the Malaysian Moonbat: Bush Condemns Malaysian Remarks on Jews. (Hat tip: NappyRed.)
BANGKOK, Thailand - President Bush on Monday personally condemned the Malaysian prime minister for his statement that Jews rule the world, pulling Mahathir Mohamad aside at an international economic meeting to tell him the remarks were "wrong and divisive," Bush's spokesman said.
