Presidential Piss

Now I don't really use this site as a political forum, that's Liz's beat, but I think the "George W. Bush is a monkey in a suit" school of thought is actually more observational than it is political at this point. Here's the Bushman not paying attention to something that is surely unimportant in the Security Council meeting at the 2005 World Summit and 60th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York yesterday. But can you blame him? He was busy passing notes to Condi Rice asking for her permission to go pee. For those of you who can't quite make out the note, the first line is "I think I may need a bathroom break." For serious, this picture is from Reuters so you know it hasn't been photoshopped. Don't you think he was aware of the Reuters photographer peering over his shoulder while he was writing that note? You'd think he'd make an effort to be more discreet. Or not.

I'm willing to bet the fly in the urinal would help him concentrate on not peeing on the floor.
