"Yo Blair!" - he NEVER said it

[youngian]

Bush reveals his sophisticated understanding of global geo-politics-

'Russia's big, so is China'

[TheShortStory]

All the shit Bush said, and people react to "yo/yeah blair"..

[WhoaKaela]

definitely said yeah not yo

[basstrom188]

Blair was the puppet masre

[dabest121]

Bush sucks

[wangpangu]

Well it just didn't show him in this video saying 'yo blair' but you can in other ones. Bush can't help being an arsehole but Blair's was a bitch; I'll never forgive him (and I voted for him in '97).

[asunsetinmyveins]

YO BLAIR.

[hhiibbss]

bush was right about the UN they saved hezbolla from the IDF and now the terrorists are stocking up arms from syria and iran for there next go

[flea288]

Bush is an utter dickhead.

[oshinkoboy]

You found the crappiest video of the event. There are much better ones, where you can clearly see what a hillbilly jackass Bush is, sitting in his chair, chewing his cud while Blair stands politely next to him and listens. The guy was a boor.

[ellhow]

I can understand idiot British journalists who have lived on this shitty Island all their lives saying that....but an American?

[jasewildheart]

What I find amusing is he just sounds like some regular guy talking crap rather than the leader of the most powerful nation on Earth.

[bebeinpa]

Who cares whether he said "yo" or "Yeah", are people really so hypersensitive?

[boggyb]

either way, its disrespectful to call a fellow state leader by their surname like that

[betheronipizza11]

ummm i've seen the ENTIRE video in a documentary about Tony Blair and he most definitely said "Yo Blair!" he was seeing where Tony Blair was going and apparently he was headed to the toilets. seriously.

[keanerock888]

Russia's big and so is China :/ What a clever guy

[BUnitLives]

Give him a break though, honestly.. Bush is an asshole but "Russia's big and so is China" is totally taken out of context.

You can find clips of the actual conversation in entirety on YouTube.

[bowflexor]

Yea, its only small talk... So give him a break. IF you don't know whats small talk then you don't know how to socialize

[dcmtr]

You think the Middle East conflict is a "small talk" subject?

[CBMurph]

It does seem that he said "Yeah Blair" and while the "Yo Blair" would have been (even) funnier, what struck people about the interaction was how it so clearly displayed that Blair is at Bush's beck and call, having to pathetically request permission (not granted) to be Condi's messenger boy.

[unohysteria]

well done. he says yeah blair.

but you all seem to miss the point. What the media got het up over is the lack of respect Bush shows to Blair.

An American President should show more manners and respect to the leader of one of the most powerful countries in the world. Especially after Blair backed him for Iraq.

Common manners are simple. Don't speak to people with your mouth full. Simple no.

Or did you idiots just miss that part.

[gunnersbabe]

haha that is well funny. Always love seeing on telly when blair and bush meet up to see whats gonna happen next! lmao

[forerunner5013215]

they know eachother better than you know.

[brutalrabbit]

He's right, Bush doesn't say "Yo Blair!" Are you all dumb? He says "Yeah, Blair!"

[Malamockq]

Which is equally stupid.

[BlairSupporter]

At around 17 - 18 it is CLEAR- "Yeah, Blair, what are you doing?" If you REALLY hear "Yo, Blair" we don't speak the same language. And mine is British-born English. It also shows we hear what we WANT to hear. Looks like MY BOY will soon be helping YOUR BOY as a MidEast envoy. Good? Well, we all hear what we want to hear ... Google Keep Tony Blair For PM

[blademanx]

BIG FUCKIN DEAL!!!!

[JHunter22]

He said 'Yo Blair' quite clearly, then (you can't see this on this clip) they went on to do some white-boy hand slapping followed by a lame rap-battle.

[bebeinpa]

Breakdancing?

[ChameleonDave]

He did say "Yo, Blair!". How does this news report prove otherwise?

[flyingdrake]

it was the casualness that bothered people

[bebeinpa]

The casualness may be a sign of ease among friends-that may burn some, but it shouldn't.

[TheEqualiser00]

i heard "Yo Blair, whaddya doin."

[martinmedeski]

bush is a stupid ignorant fool

[bebeinpa]

From one pollack to another, don't be a pantywaist.

[oldm]

blair should have bitchslapped his ass

[uj156]

hell yeah, god these americans! wat silly ppl they r but tony blairs stupid 2

[TadhgMuadhen]

hmmm but 51% of americans voted for him twice... oops i forget, the elections were rigged,.. silly me

[ariamne1]

@TadhgMuadhen George Bush was a good president, and do I miss him now, with the incompentent thug Obama mucking things up now for America. But, that is what he said he would do, and why wouldn't we believe him? He listened to hate America speech in a so called "church' for 20 years. Tony Blair was a good man too. Come back, Georgie!

[uberalles2]

@ariamne1 George Bush was a great president. Stupid libs, got themselves a turd for a president. Flushing Obama down the toilet would be too good for him.

[MrShwinny]

@TadhgMuadhen you are so right its annoying how many thumbs down it has

[wardvv]

Not beeing from the USA, I feel I should not insult your elected leader, but I hope most agree with me when I say quite some people are smarther then G.W. Bush.

[MsSmartyPanties]

Believe me, there's a lot of us here (especially in NYC) who agree with you, we call him an idiot hick-wannabe all the time. Quite some people are indeed smarter than GW Bush... but it's ironic that you would point out somebody's lack of intelligence and in the same sentence misspell "smarter". heh.

[xVertox]

People allways get on about spelling when trying to put forward an argument about someones lack of intelligence however im typing this in a rush with not grammar and probably many spelling mistakes, does that make me stupid? The answers no by the way. Grammar is a form of knowledge you can be intelligent but not have the knowledge that we deem to be used by intelligent people.

[dobins123]

The answer is no.

[itzchasemillz]

And they made the biggest deal out of "Yo Blair".. wow.

Why did I laugh when he said "Russia's big and so is China"... probably too much Daily Show.
