I would love it if GWB would simply refuse to talk to him citing that it would be beneath the dignity of the US President to even speak to such a corrupt, duplictious, self serving person. As a matter of fact, the same standards should apply to all who denigrate the US or US President in such ways (Mahmoud A, Hugo C, Kim Jong Il, etc….).

I doubt it would be practical for the Pres to apply the same treatment for demagogues in Congress (Kennedy, Pelosi, Reid, and on and on and on and on), but my opinion is that this would be a powerful rebuke to all named above. To have POTUS publically dismiss these people and their statements as frivilous and beneath him would be most welcome. I bet it would especially sting the autocrats/dictators who all crave legitimacy so dearly.
