  1. Paul, Bytown, from Canada writes: Who's the wedding co-ordinator? I wonder if it's Halliburton.
  2. Jacques Shellac from Montreal, Canada writes: Can someone please pass me a barf bag? No, really, this is sickening.
  3. The Oracle from Caiman Islands, Canada writes: Is this what war ciminals families do with spare time?
  4. Mark H from Indy, United States writes: It's nice to see Bush Derangement Syndrome alive and well.

    Instead of being a troll, I'll say congrats, and leave it at that.
  5. Alistair McLaughlin from Canada writes: Jacques Shellac, what's the matter, she turned you down? There's plenty of other girls out there.
  6. Rollie Beethoven from Canada writes: A bird in the hand is worth two in the Bush!!! Good Luck!
  7. Michael DiCola from Canada writes: 'Mark H from Indy, United States writes: It's nice to see Bush Derangement Syndrome alive and well. Instead of being a troll, I'll say congrats, and leave it at that.' Phew, imagine our relief. Hate to think what you would've posted had you opted instead for throwing caution to the wind and trolling like a cod jigger.
  8. Darren X3 from Toronto, Canada writes: 'When Mr. Hager had asked permission to wed Ms. Bush days earlier, her famously inarticulate father replied: 'Done deal.''

    LOL! A low blow from the Globe and Mail.
  9. Enough is enough no more lies from toronto from Canada writes: Look no further folks, she's gonna find the 'Weapon of mass destruction' her dad was looking for.
  10. Wilma De Bruyn from Toronto, Canada writes: Is Bush going to hold the Olympic Torch at the ceremonies????

    Next generation coming up!!!
  11. BobtheBaptist Saves from whoville, Canada writes: Aside from this story being non-news it points out one disturbing fact: that the big Bush is putting up a giant limestone cross to which he intends to nail the us constitution and the un charter of rights. Once he's finished at the wedding it will be back to the slaughter for him. What a lovely daddy!
  12. Unknown User! from Canada writes: Bush's other daughter is a lot hotter.
  13. urban ranger from Vancouver, Canada writes: This couple, as all young hopeful couples, deserves our best wishes for their future together.
  14. Robert Loblaw from Canada, Canada writes: Jenna Bush to get hitched, Texas style

    With a shotgun?
  15. Melissa Maroff from Los Angeles, United States writes: Most of us Americans hate our war criminal president as well. But at least be thankful that we'll be around to protect you guys in a necessary war. We're thankful that you guys are on here making moronic jokes. That's five less people out clubbing baby seals.
  16. Jennifer Rollison from Canada writes: Now that comment is funny, Melissa...on the other hand, it is moronic of the posters above to make a mockery of someones wedding day. She is a young woman whose father is president through no fault of her own. Can't you just wish them luck and move on?
  17. Melissa Maroff from United States writes: And of course I was generalizing Jennifer, just like not all Texans have shotguns. But you're right, who cares which Bush twin is "hotter?"
  18. The Blind Man Is King from Burlytown, Canada writes: Nothing says "low key" like 200 guests, a one-of La Renta dress, two sapphires, 14 bride's maids and an entire city "doing what it can" to help out.

    We should launch a giant space weapon trailing at 500-ft banner congratulating her on not going overboard.
  19. May Loo from Calgary, Canada writes: And this is important to us Canadians-how?
  20. Mr. Justice from Canada writes: Want to see a wedding in the Southern USA, in the form of a Power Point demonstration ?

    GOOGLE: "Wedding on the bayou".
  21. Mark H from Indy, United States writes: "Mr. Justice from Canada writes: Want to see a wedding in the Southern USA, in the form of a Power Point demonstration ?"

    Emphasis on the "A" wedding - we wouldn't want to go making too many generalizations ;) .

    I'll tell you for my money, a wedding reception in Moose Jaw in January beats ANYTHING that the South can put out. Those Canucks knew how to party.
  22. BobtheBaptist Saves from big t, Canada writes: Let us give thanks to Mellisa Mar-off and her generous offer to save us when the next American started war is dumped on us. Not enough that americans have already started a dozen wars and killed millions in their quest for world dominance but now they have their eyes on Canada and our oil and water. We beat them in 1814 and we'll beat them when they come over the border - we'll just leave a double cheese burger and a super-size fries and they can continue to eat themselves to death.
  23. Cosmo Spacely from Canada writes: Married Texas-style? She marrying her first cousin/brother/uncle?
  24. Edmond Dusablon from United States writes: BobtheBaptist Saves from big t - 'Not enough that americans have already started a dozen wars and killed millions in their quest for world dominance but now they have their eyes on Canada and our oil and water. We beat them in 1814...'

    No one down here has their eyes on Canadian oil or water. Really, who cares? Your oil? Too hard to get out. Your water? Just turn it into beer and we'll all be OK.

    That being said, what do you mean 'we' with respect to the War of 1812? Seems to me you were a British colony at the time so give thanks to the Redcoats. As for beating us, I always heard it was a win for the US. No more kidnapping into slavery of American sailors onto British ships, the invading Brits got their butts kicked out of Louisiana after the Battle of New Orleans, and York and Washington was a draw. Besides, that war was the second attempt by the Brits and Loyalist Canadians to strangle the United States -- the first being the Revolution -- and we're still here.

    Congrats to the new couple.
  25. Edmond Dusablon from United States writes: Cosmo Spacely from Canada writes: Married Texas-style? She marrying her first cousin/brother/uncle?

    No, that would be Tennessee. How else can you explain Algore?
  26. Steve Gibbons from Calgary, Canada writes: Thanks for doing whatever it is your doing to "protect us" melissa. Just one question? Who in the world could successfully invade us. Look at the map. Now there's a Hollywood education at its finest.

    Outside of Melissa's idiotic response and to the topic at hand, I do wish the best for the Bride and Groom. Knowing the Bush reputation thats one wedding I'd love to attend!
  27. Edmond Dusablon from United States writes: Steve Gibbons from Calgary, Canada writes: Who in the world could successfully invade us. Look at the map.

    No all invasions come over land borders. Ever hear of airplanes and ships?
  28. Melissa Maroff from United States writes: I don't own a shotgun. I don't eat cheeseburgers. No meat for that matter. I lived in Texas for a long time, but never was married to my cousin or brother. And like you, most Americans think this war is insane and will hopefully vote a democrat in office, although we realize it won't make up for the damage that has already been done. We also realize that no insane, power hungry leader would ever think of invading Canada or North America, it's a very sane world in which we live. And I know you're not all seal clubbers...I just picked one of the few, if not only story from Canada that continues to make world headlines and made a sweeping generalization just like many Canadians seem to enjoy doing.
  29. Hail to the Conservatives ! from London, Canada writes: It amazes me that those who seem to enjoy mocking George W. Bush's language, obviously the Globe and Mail included, have never read a book. If you read Bob Woodwards trilogy, or just one of the books for that matter, where he directly quotes Bush from personal interviews, you will find that he is quite articulate and even more intelligent.

    Does anybody else see the irony in the fact that Canadians feel more intelligent by mocking President Bush's obvious public jockeying, when quite obviously they have never read a book??

    I wish I were an American.
  30. Paul Thompson from Canada writes: Edmond Dusablon, if you think the war of 1812 was a victory for the USA I can see where your deluded thinking about Iraq comes from. If the objective of the US was to annex the Canadian colony then they clearly failed to do that. Now, if I was to be totally objective about it I'd admit that the Americans could probably have been successful if they had been more determined, as after all they had 10x the manpower. The fact was though that this war wasn't very popular in your country, especially in the states bordering Canada, where many people had friends and relatives in each other's country, just as they do now. For example, during the battle of Queenston Heights, the New York state militia refused to cross the Niagara to support the regular American army, and eventually the invading Yanks were routed.
  31. Edmond Dusablon from United States writes: Paul Thompson -- 1) I never heard that the US objective in the War of 1812 was to annex Canada though I'm sure that's what they tell you up north and 2) I don't ever recall posting thoughts on Iraq on this board, deluded or otherwise.
  32. Paul Thompson from Canada writes: Don't be such a putz Edmond, why the hell did they invade if they weren't trying to conquer the place? I've also seen your comments defending Dubya (as is your right) many times.
  33. Paul Thompson from Canada writes: By the way, Hail to the Conservatives, I forgot to add if you wish you were an American, by all means apply for citizenship there and don't let the door hit your a$$ on the way out.
  34. NWT Knifer from Yellowknife, Canada writes: This is a World Event We should all be happy for Jenna and her husband. A member of the Greatest Family ever is getting married! I wish Bush could stay on another 8 yrs or till the war on terror has been won. But the flawed libera Constitution has denyed the world that JOY!
  35. Paul Thompson from Canada writes: NWT, you really ought to lay off from sniffing those gasoline fumes.
  36. NWT Knifer from Yellowknife, Canada writes: Bush came to the White House because Jesus and GOD willed it. Only Jesus can remove him from the office of President. Just as Harper has been called by Jesus to run Canada only Jesus can remove him from Office
  37. Melissa Maroff from United States writes: Paul,

    sarcasm (sär'kăz'əm
    A form of wit that is marked by the use of sarcastic language and is intended to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule.

    Now who's a putz?
  38. Paul Thompson from Canada writes: If you are referring to my comment to NWT, Melissa, what else does he deserve but contempt or ridicule? So, may I suggest you take your pedantry and use it for a suppository?
  39. P Knudsen from Canada writes: Hail to the Conservatives ! Go home you Liberal troll. Canadian conservatives don't like Bush anymore than say Paul Thompson.
    Bush is an idiot, and you seem to be in the same class as he is.
  40. Melissa Maroff from United States writes: Paul,
    Why does NWT deserve contempt and ridicule for using sarcasm to make a very good point? You just missed it. And why call Edmond a putz simply because you're a liberal and you perceive him to be a conservative. He didn't make one comment in defense of Iraq. Saying Texans *&%$ their cousins and that one Bush twin is hotter than the other is cool, gotcha. And that Americans should die eating double cheeseburgers and super-size fries (no McDonald's in Canada)...that's all cool. And you have to admit that the comment about Americans being after Canadian oil and water is as absurd as anything those Texas rednecks you love to make fun of would say. Although you sound educated and didn't make any of those comments you do come off as a hypocrite that just hates America. If someone were to judge Canadians just based on this forum they would have to deduce bitter, hateful, jealous and ignorant.
  41. Paul Thompson from Canada writes: Melissa, if NWT was making "a very good point" what the hell was it? Now I'll admit I sent the posting about sniffing gasoline fumes rather hastily before I considered the possiblity he was being sarcastic, but after all, sarcasm is the lowest form of humor. But, perhaps "contempt and ridicule" is a touch more than he deserved for his lame postings, I'll concede that. I didn't call Edmond a putz because I think he's a conservative, but simply because I thought his denial of the American intention to conquer the Canadian colonies in 1812 was a bit ridiculous, seeing as after all they did invade Canada. Finally, though I have made many comments critical of American foreign and domestic policy on the boards, I have never expressed hatred for your country and I have only good memories of my visits there.
