The sh*t heard 'round the world

The open microphone caught Bush unaware in an unguarded moment Monday as the escalating crisis in the Middle East prompted him to use an expletive in a conversation with Blair.

Some of the text of the Bush-Blair conversation was as follows:

Bush: What about Kofi Annan? I don't like the sequence of it. His attitude is basically cease-fire and everything else happens.

Blair: I think the thing that is really difficult is you cant stop this unless you get this international presence agreed.

Bush: She's going. I think Condi's going to go pretty soon.

Blair: Well that's all that matters. If you see, it will take some time to get out of there. But at least it gives people ...

Bush: It's a process I agree. I told her your offer too.

Blair: Well it's only or if she's gonna or if she needs the ground prepared as it were. See, if she goes out she's got to succeed as it were, where as I can just go out and talk.

Bush: See the irony is what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it's over.

Blair: Cause I think this is all part of the same thing. What does he think? He thinks if Lebanon turns out fine, if he gets a solution in Israel and Palestine, Iraq goes in the right way, he's done it. That's what this whole things about. It's the same with Iran.

Bush: I feel like telling Kofi to get on the phone with Assad and make something happen. We're not blaming Israel and we're not blaming the Lebanese government.

it's just unfortunate that the mic was on when Bush made that expletive, kinda like one of those bloopers..

I actually LOVED it. He's talking matter-of-factly to another world leader.

All this with no scripts, no speech writers, no protocol BS. It shows that I may be wrong in thinking that Dubya is nothing more than a puppet of oil barons and arms tycoons.

I love the part where Dubya called England's PM ... "Yo Blair!"
Hehehe. Classic

like each one of us, Bush just had a bad day at the office. while we're running up and down meeting deadlines after deadlines, talking to clients and closing deals he on the other hand is busy prepping up details on how to deal with NoKor's, Iran's, Israel's, Lebanon's and Syria's situations while being bombarded with issues at the homefront. while we have a weekend to look forward to, he doesn't, and he's "on call" 24/7, 365. I would have said some expletives if I were on his shoes, maybe a lot more than what he just said. don't you guys just love not being the President?
