I always knew Condi had him on a pretty short leash, but that's just... <br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

<br><br>Reuters Photog Appears to Capture Bush at U.N. Writing Note About 'Bathroom Break'<br><br>Published: September 14, 2005 7:35 PM ET<br><br>NEW YORK In what seems destined to become one of the most yacked about photos of the month, if not year, a Reuters photographer today seems to have captured President George W. Bush scribbling a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice suggesting that he needed to take a "bathroom break" during a session at the United Nations.<br><br>The photo by Denver-based Rick Wilking, taken over a man's shoulder, shows an official -- identified in the caption (at Reuters' official site) as President Bush -- scribbling in pencil on a small white piece of paper the words: "I think I MAY NEED A BATHROOM break?"<br> <br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001137252" target="top">www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001137252</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

if he needs to go to the bathroom. "I think I need..."<br> <p></p><i></i>

[EyesNarrowlyOpen]

Come now!<br><br>Where's the rigour?!<br><br>A little conjecture at least as to why they would SEND THIS retardo message out NOW?<br><br>What's the deep message here?<br><br>Are they going to 'Reaganize' Bush? Oh poor mr prezninent he's just a little 'detached'.<br><br>Nothing to see here, move along.<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>ENO <p></p><i></i>

for those Reuters journalists shot dead in Iraq? <p></p><i></i>

[glubglubglub]

ergo, the note. <p></p><i></i>

Sounds a lot like a love note to me! <br> He's suggesting that "maybe" he needs a bathroom break. Hence the question mark in the wrong place. wink,wink. nudge, nudge. And is asking if she's up for that. That's exactly how she acts w/ her stiletto black boots, and being the bell of Broadway, all the while, people in NO are drowning. And her comment to what....BELIEVE HER that bush was not treating the people of NO this way because of race! Get real, woman, he's got to have someone, and I don't think Laura can stomach him anymore! Same ole, same ole. Is she married?<br><br>The press is telling on him! he he Either way, since when does a man (POTUS) ask a woman for permission to go to the can?? <p></p><i></i>

PLEASE tell me this is a photoshopped joke. <p>=======<br>Oh, I enjoy an egg myself, yes. They don't make good pets, though; you can never get them in at night. <br> ~Doctor Pratt (played by Peter Sellers), "The Wrong Box"</p><i></i>

[Avalon]

The possibilities:<br><br>1/ Real and legit<br><br>2/ Photoshopped and on a real Reuters site, credited to a known photographer, linked to by Yahoo. etc<br><br>3/ Photoshopped and on a phished version of Reuters then disseminated via legit sites<br><br>4/ We'll wake up and say whew, I had the most pathetic dream...<br><br>Occam's Nair would suggest Door #1<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

This puts me in mind of the relationship between the Prince of Wales and Michael Fawcett.<br>There was that famous time when Fawcett held the specimen bottle whilst His Royal Highness had a piss.<br>It was, of course these two that the late George Smith witnessed going at it.<br>It was, of course Michael Fawcett who raped the late George Smith.<br>And of course there is the Prince of Wales himself "I can do without anything else, but I can't do without Michael."<br><br>Life immitating art. Anyone know "The Servant" starring Dirk Bogarde and James Fox?<br><br>Fawcett was known as "The Fence" for his connections to the underworld.<br><br>"Whatever works", as they say. <p></p><i></i>

[Martha]

what he wrote under the bathroom request?<br><br>"Is __ possible?"<br><br>Seriously, I've always thought that Condi was supposed to be his caretaker/nursemaid/nanny in someway and keep him out of Dick and Karl's way.<br><br>Or speculation here - maybe it's some kind of d/s humiliation thing? Or, the camera man thought it was funny (they did say the press was going to start going after the admin), or.. who knows? Maybe he's just trying to get a break scheduled so he can go?<br><br>But I still think it's pretty funny. <p></p><i></i>

I guess reporters are able to more freely expose what they see now, since his ratings are..... in the tank. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :b --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif ALT=":b"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Seems to be authentic:<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001137252">www.editorandpublisher.co...1001137252</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>
