Does he need a hall pass?

Please, please, please let this picture of President Bush be a hoax.

I second that prayer

I've seen it on Yahoo! as well, so I suppose it must be true. You'd think he could just excuse himself and walk out. What would Condi say, no Mr.President sit down?

You beat me to it Matt. A friend of mine just emailed that to me. I was planning on putting it on my blog with a similar opinion.

at least all the bits of it that I can make out are spelled correctly. . .

I guess he was using diplomicy.

This is his attempt at coalition building. After Condi gave permission, President Bush obtained approval from Poland and Australia. Each country is sending 32 troops in to secure the bathroom, assist with the extraction, and perform the cleanup...once Halliburton finishes building the multi-million dollar bathroom. Toilet paper will be contracted to the lowest bidder.

haha, that's hilarious!

I guess all diplomats will now learnt their lesson ...

At least we now know what value Condi brings to the table. Up until now I thought Cheney was the one issuing hall passes to the prez!

man, I wish I could read that note....my parents screen is too fuzzy...Karin

i have become a bush supporter in large part because of the childishness and irrational hatred of his detractors. the poor guy sucks at diplomacy and he gets nailed for it. then, he checks with his SOS on protocol to make sure something as seemingly minor as peeing doesn't get him labeled "insensative" to poverty or whatever nonsense the UN happened to be discussing at the moment. but, he gets nailed for that, too.

have you ever had to pee? well, i hope you don't plan on running for president, because true blue bloods don't have the appropriated equipment to evacuate waste from the body. the press on the other hand, they can easily defacate, but it doesn't stink.

at any rate, he is obviously aware that his every insignificant move is being tediously watched by a hostile press corps.

bottom line, funny picture... nothing more.

Karin -
The first part reads:
"I think I may need a bathroom break.
Is this possible..."
And I'm not sure what the last word is. It's not real clear on my screen either.

I admit that out of context the note (and caption) are quite funny, but in context it seems perfectly normal.

Wonder if Clinton ever scribbled notes to Madelaine Albright when his "calls of nature" needed to be answered. Of course, those notes wouldn’t be suitable for children’s eyes…

Poor Bush, he is so rattled by those meanies in the press corp. that he now has been driven to asking permission from Condi to go to the bathroom. Who knew that he was so sensitive to criticism? Gracious, what will happen if it gets much worse? Will he start asking for permission before he invades countries?

"...poverty or whatever nonsense the UN happened to be discussing at the moment."

Why is discussing poverty "nonsense"? Further, what evidence do you have that they actually were discussing poverty and not the UN's anti-terrorism plan?

As bathroom quotes go, perhaps you might be interested in this gem:

When offered a glass of water by his interrogators, Saddam replied, “If I drink water I will have to go to the bathroom and how can I use the bathroom when my people are in bondage?”

Josh said...

i don't have any evidence that they were discussing poverty as indicated by the very sentence that you quoted.

the un doesn't have an anti-terrorism plan as indicated by their impotency in enforcing various security council resolutions. also because a large chunk of the member states support terrorism.

as to "Why is discussing poverty 'nonsense'?"-- well, i was just being inflammatory, which felt great after watching the john roberts confirmation hearings... so frustrating.

Matthew said...

Folks, this is not supposed to be an anti-Bush rant session, or an anti-UN rant session. This is supposed to be a humorous post, nothing more.

Josh said...

i was trying to be funny

Jason, didn't you mean a real word instead of ficious. I'm thinking maybe facetious, but maybe you meant vicous.
