Wait, aren’t the French supposed to be rude, and the Irish merely drunk?

Five highlighted responses by President Bush from his interview with the Irish press during his trip abroad this weekend (culled from “Interview of the President by Radio and Television Ireland”, June 24, 2004):

1. “Let me finish. Let me finish. May I finish?”
2. “Let me finish. Let me finish, please. Please. You ask the questions and I’ll answer them, if you don’t mind.”
3. “Let me finish, please. Please. Let me finish, and then you can follow up, if you don’t mind.”
4. “Let me finish.”
5. “Please. Please. Please, for a minute, okay. It’ll be better if you let me finish my answers, and then you can follow up, if you don’t mind.”
