David said: He is the PM of Canada according to a reporter that ambushed Bush with a trick question. Bush either fell for it or misheard Poutine to be Chretien (apologies for the spelling). So now it has become a joke (especially with the likes of Scumbria and Stribe) that Bush is mentally deficient or ignorant." Actually.. thats not correct.. he wasnt a reporter; he was a comedian named Rick Mercer from a very popular canadian news-comedy parody show called "This HR Has 22 minutes". He was posing as a reporter and asked Bush what he thought about Prime Minister Jean Poutine supporting Bush's candidacy.. and Bush.. TWICE.. said he was grateful for Mr. Poutine's support. Mercer gave him 2 opportunities, and both times Bush didnt know the wiser... or his aides apparently after the 1st question. (The 2nd time was asked an hr or so later after the 1st question.. so he wasnt blitzed by the question) Poutine by the way is a french word for a popular snack in both French and English Canada which consists of fries, cheese and gravy.
