"In terms of whether or not it's possible to reprogram the kind of basic of Russian DNA which is centralized authority -- that's hard to do," Bush said.
Well...
Is that literal? And if so, how is that possible? Does Bush also think there's a "Muslim DNA", and other shit like that? I'm amazed as to how simplistic, borderline stupid his worldview is - no analysis of reasons and consequences, just "it's their DNA" or some other sillyness. In fact, that's only further evidence that American administration are crypto-racists with a "good fight evil" mindset.

It's most likely Bush misunderstanding scientific concepts. Not that that's anything new but this'll go great alongside other Bushisms. Source of the quote.
"It's you Americans. There's something about nipples you hate. If this were Germany, we'd be romping around naked on the stage here."
He meant that it's part of russian culture. I heard the speech myself, and beLIEVE me, I lawled when he spat out that little Gem. You should have heard the part where he said he had such a good relationship with Vladimir putin that before the Iraq War, Putin felt comfortable enough to tell Bush it was a bad Idea to go to War with Iraq. Another lol.
Oh, and my personal favorite: when bush was questioned about what Vladimir Putin was doing RE: Becoming prime minister after his presidential term is up, he said something to the effect of "Me too.". Yeah, that was HILARIOUS. Not. in the follow up question, the reporter said "Assuming you do leave office after the elections...<question here>" Bush press conferences are a huge source of lawls.

It's not literal, but rather a rather common expression used among the less scientifically literate to refer to cultural things. You know, "Americans love freedom, it's in our DNA." Only the most idiotic of the idiots literally believe their body chemistry affects those things, it's just slang.
Aah, confusing memes with genes. That's all right... I hope.
"The surest sign that the world was not created by an omnipotent Being who loves us is that the Earth is not an infinite plane and it does not rain meat."
"Lo, how free the madman is! He can observe beyond mere reality, and cogitates untroubled by the bounds of relevance."

Agreed. The equivlent phrase "In our blood" at least comes from a pre-scientific concept of heretity, and has an established history in colloquial English. To deliberatey substutite a scientific term like 'DNA' for 'blood' in such an established phrase does indeed sound like the work of an idiot. A pretentious idiot.
I wish to propose for the reader's favorable consideration a doctrine which may, I fear, appear wildly paradoxical and subversive. The doctrine in question is this: that it is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatever for supposing it true. I must, of course, admit that if such an opinion became common it would completely transform our social life and our political system; since both are at present faultless, this must weigh against it. -Bertrand Russell

Yes, genes! Bush with his superior dominant genes! Putin with his inferior recessive Russian genes! I wonder if Bush has two other clone brothers, a shirtless dweeb with an English accent (Liquid Blair?), and a hunky kick-ass retired spec ops warrior with a bandanna (Solid Putin?).
Man.
George Bush is an idiot.
I hope Tony Blair's dismembered hand possesses Revolver Cheney's soul.

Apparently, Russian DNA is programmed in Basic.
"I tried to, you know, get it out of him who's going to be his successor, what he intends to do. And he was wily. He wouldn't tip his hand," Bush said.
So. . .anyone who's not a blabbermouth is actually being wily?
Time makes more converts than reason. -- Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776
All this talk of the genetics of Russians explaining thier actions is a complete 360 from what people have used as excuses in the past. In the past they would say that on a individual level, the citizens are influenced by bad leaders, government types and the like. For example let's say Japan with their xenophobia. The foks who spin this stuff might have said it was that they had always lived in isolation and thier psychology is the reason. Now it seems 'genetics' has become the excuse and cause for everything.
Central authority isn't just in the Russian DNA-- Stalin was Georgian.
Of course, one wonders if George W. Bush is of Russian descent, considering his warmongering and his desire to make the Republican Party more powerful and influential. (Cough! Hypocrit! Cough!)
Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.
They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)
