Hi!
Thanks for the laughs! It was really amusing! Nonetheless, I am a big fan of Guo Jing and an even `bigger fan-who-likes-to-dislike` GW Bush, so I really find it slightly insulting for GJ to be compared with Bush Jr. I really hope that the `Eagle-shooting hero` had been capable of shooting my `beloved Walking Eagle`.

I watched a video of Bush making a speech when he was a bit younger and the difference is astounding. He could speak very fast and was extremely articulate. So i guess he was not always like that.
In any case i find it almost blasphemous comparing the great hero GJ to Bush!

I never thought about that. It's a good comparison. Bush and GJ are both great leaders. They are both view as dumb but has very strong moral convictions and very patriotic. GJ defended the Han People while Bush defended Americans. GJ is seen as one of the best martial artists and Bush is seen as probably the fittest president. The only difference is people hate Bush and people like GJ.

Lol. A MAJOR difference.
Bush is a good speaker, but just use the wrong words. Didnt he attend Yale or Harvard? Hey another similarity with GJ (having ZBT and H7G). |

The Guo Jing in LOCH might not know how to speak. But the one in ROCH, was described to be a heroic person who give off an aura. His words are more like commands or orders rather than just talking.
Like every single words that come out off his mouth, would put other in awe due to his heroic nature, dedication, and righteousness. Last edited by TaiHan; 09-17-05 at 11:41 PM. |

But Guo Jing is humble and Bush is not. Guo Jing will admit his mistakes. Guo Jing will not lie. Bush on the other hand.. Well, has Bush found any weapons of mass destruction yet?

Well, neither Bush nor Guo Jing has much to go by in the intelligence department. Both are pretty conservative. Certainly Guo Jing was very honorable and very patriotic, and Bush plays on the patriotism thing, though one can never tell with politicians. (He certainly didn't seem to be the kind of help-the-common-people sort of guy with Katrina.) But while people generally revere Guo Jing, people generally attach Bush to the butt ends of their jokes. So while the conservatism and IQ departments bear resemblance, there's a lot that's different.

No, no. I am not implying anything about his competance or intelligence. We all know his dad bought his way into those schools (similar to how HR bribed H7G? Yes H7G like GJ's nature, but bribery was involved regardless).
I am just saying that both GJ and Bush had classy teachers. What they did with this opportunity is another story. |

Mrs. Bush is no HR! And if GWB is GJ, then who is YH? Osama Bin Laden? And as far as we know, Osama's mother wasn't marrred to Saddam Hussein!

There is a very small similarity between the two, it's already been touched on.
The comparison isn't very apt, but it's not atrocious.
