In one of the religion threads...I saw him referred to as a Mormon.

Oh, wait a minute. It wasn't capitalized....and for some reason, I think there was only one "m."

He normally has to ask Karl Rove for permission; I guess Condi was there for him at the UN...

I bet Condi has to change his diapers, too.

Condi = Sec of state/baby-sitter. Shocked

this is kind of funny, isn't it ?
if that's all our american friends had to worry about, there wouldn't be much to worry about, right ?
apparently the president had to establish first "if it was possible " . good thing condi allowed him to go, wouldn't you say ?
still smiling. hbg

"I think I may need a bathroom break? Is this possible?"

After this it appears he is starting to write "I'll..."

I'll what?

"I'll be real quick?"

"I'll need toilet paper, too?"

"I'll be sure to put the seat back down for you?"

How much ya wanna bet camera's or at least one's with magnifying lenses will no longer be allowed in the meetings?

I wonder why this is anti-Bush (though I posted that link on another thread earlier as well :wink: ).

European conservative papers were the first to report this, the Times, followed by the Telegraph and the Scotsman:

Quote:
Tory MSP Brian Monteith said: "I've been telling people for years that George Bush is human and not some alien or automaton, but no-one would listen. I know how he feels, there are times in these big meetings when all eyes are on you and yet below your cheery smile you are bursting.

I think it is code for something. Otherwise, it doesn't make much sense. If I am the POTUS, I just say, "Excuse me...."

Of course, Condi's reply was "Is it number 1 or Number 2?"

I'm referring, of course, to the responses it has evoked in the anti-Bush crowd here at A2K.

...maybe it was code for, "my transponder is not working."

Probably 90% of the world's population is anti-Bush. This little incident more a topic of curiousity than bashing.

"I'll .... pee in my pants if you don't make it quick!"

Seriously though, are you sure this isn't a hoax?

So what was the man supposed to do if he needed to go to the bathroom?

what? none of you have never written a note to someone in the meeting to call a break, or to say that you need the floor for a moment?

guess what, we ALL need to go to the bathroom sometime.

god - get some perspective already.

Yeah, that falls under the "what the **** has private life got to to do with the job?" rubric, unless someone can show how this is relevant to Bush's performance of his job?

Chia - The perspective is that he's the president of the united states. He shouldn't have to ask anyone for a bathroom break or ask anyone if it is possible to take one. Just state to Kofi that there needs to be a ten minute recess.

How many CEO's would write a note to their executive secretary asking if a bathroom break would be possible?
