I am sorry about George W. Bush

“American Phrasebook: Addendum” on Joho the Blog says: When I visit a country, I like to learn how to say the usual polite things: Hello, Goodbye, Please, Thank you, It was like that when I got here. Starting two years ago, I’ve found myself learning a new phrase:

I am sorry about George W. Bush

German: Ich bin über George W. Bush traurig

Spanish: Estoy apesadumbrado sobre George W. Bush

French: Je suis désolé au sujet de George W. Bush

Italian: Sono spiacente circa George W. Bush

Chinese (simplified): 我是抱歉关于乔治・W. 布什

Japanese: 私はジョージW. ブッシュについて残念である

Korean: 나는 조지W.부시에 관하여 유감스럽다

Russian: Я огорченн о George W. Bush

Greek: Λυπάμαι για George W. Bush

Canadian: I’m so sorry aboot George W. Bush. Sorry for bothering you with this apology, eh?

*Why Google’s language service translates Bush’s last name as a noun only in Portuguese (as far as I can tell) remains a mystery. Babelfish does not.
