Let me be the first to confess...
With over 26-plus years of radio broadcast and telecast employment, even with my educational indoctrination and previous professional embarrassments, I have forgotten the broadcast studio 'rule of thumb'...er, make that 'tongue'...never consider a microphone 'off'.
When you see a microphone it has one purpose; taking the noise of the room and amplifying it for someone's ears or recording equipment. When you consider it off, it isn't - the microphone is always on and ready to reveal the most personal comments and opinions for the public consumption. Today, we thank 'Mr. Microphone'.
President Bush's "shi-poopie" comment serves the Allied Forces in this World War on Terrorism, revealing to the MSM and the political correct crowd (appeasers), this President is ready to 'call a spade a spade' in this escalation of terror!
We have learned a few items from Bush's 'hot mic' at the G-8 meetings:
1. The President considers Hezbullah's behavior a pile of excrement.
2. The President likes to talk with food in his mouth. (True Texan!)
3. Prime Minister Tony Blair is more concerned about the President's description of Hezbullah than the Cowboy from Texas, who seems to not give a rat's behind.
4. The President would be a perfect pitch-man for Carl's Junior (a Western States fast food establishment); "Don't bother me, I'm eating."
Seriously, this brings back fond memories of another President who should have known better when sitting infront of a microphone, but decided to recite, "we begin bombing in five minutes".
That President won the Cold War!
