@AnarchoNinaWrites Yeah, back in the early 2000sies, when I was still trying to be a liberal--we all make mistakes, right?--I remember being absolutely chilled to the bone when, shortly after 9/11, George W. Bush referred, in his shockingly phony "Texas" accent, to "Are Frins tha Sawdees." The obvious follow-up question was asked of him by no alleged journalist, namely, "just exactly who is in the first person plural to which you referred?" and the obvious next question, "Just exactly which Saudis were you referring to?"
I suspect that all the people in both groups were personally known to W, and numbered under 300 in total.
