US President George W Bush writes a note to Secretary of State Condole ezza Rice during a Security Council meeting at the 2005 World Summit and 60th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York September 14, 2 005. World leaders are exploring ways to revitalize the United Nations a t a summit on Wednesday but their blueprint falls short of Secretary-Gen eral Kofi Annan's vision of freedom from want, persecution and war.

Allegra Well I do agree thats pretty low for the media to make something out of t his... Its like what my brother had gotten our niece one Christmas years ago... My brother you have to understand, is a real piece of work, and has a rea l sense of humor... He got our niece a book titled: "Everyone Poops" A childrens book with cartoonish pages full of humorous, and not too grap hic (I know some will be concerned, but its ok, I reviewed and approved the book for her usage) images... I just think the media is once again illustrating that they are collectiv ely dumber than a bag of hammers if they think that telling us this real ity is going to somehow destroy a presidency... If lying about a non-sexual relationship in the oval office can't destroy one... Actually I am glad President Bush is like us, and apparently very regular to boot...

View Replies To: FreedomCalls Between this and the recent pics of Judge Roberts at his confirmation hea rings, it gives a whole new meaning to "up close & personal" journalism.
The picture caption says he is responding to a note from Condi. She appears to have written the request in all caps, and he is writing i n a different style.
View Replies To: CedarDave Or remember Al Gore, who "drank a lot of iced tea" and so missed key part s of fund raising meetings? I think it was the part of the meeting where they discussed shaking down Buddhist nuns and selling the Lincoln Bedro om or something. I do recall that when Gore was cornered about some typi cally Clintonesque shenanigans, he volunteered that he had stepped out o f the meeting a lot because he had drunk so much iced tea.
I applied my top-secret Rovian operative cryptographic ring to this and came up with this translation: "I think"= "See that ugly mook in the front row?" "I need"= "He is a friend of Adam Clymer" "a bathroom break"= "find out where he lives and have the black choppers pick him tonight."
View Replies To: HiTech RedNeck Why doesn't he just say "excuse me, I'll be back in 5 minutes." He was in a meeting with other world leaders discussing the future of the UN, so it would have been inappropriate to just get up and walk out. Ty pical decorum in this sort of situation would have had an intermediary ( probably Rice) deliver a message to the discussion moderator requesting a break. The reason why wouldn't have been specified to the moderator, b ut upon receipt of the message he or she would have declared a 15-30 min ute break. It's important that the entire discussion end when ANY leader leaves, so that important agreements aren't reached in their absence.
