At least he has good penmanship

This note from the president reads, "I think I may need a bathroom break?"

The Reuters caption reads:
U.S. President George W. Bush writes a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a Security Council meeting at the 2005 World Summit and 60th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York September 14, 2005. World leaders are exploring ways to revitalize the United Nations at a summit on Wednesday but their blueprint falls short of Secretary-General Kofi Annan's vision of freedom from want, persecution and war.

Even I thought this was poor taste by the media. Everybody poops. I don't expect the President not to. So what if it was during the World Summit, certainly one of the least important meetings the President would have attended in a normal week, even with his redmedial schedule of naps, vacations and chuckling practice sessions. Come on... we all have enough legitimate gripes - or at least irreverent rants to deliver - with the man that even coleslaw blog could find better use for its space.

See, what you're overlooking is that this sends mixed signals to the troops, who are stuck standing at post and can't just leave to go poop. I guess what I'm saying is, why doesn't Bush support the troops? Why does he hate freedom?

Double entendre -- have you ever written a note like that? Would you ever write a note like that? Who the hell writes those kinds of notes after first grade? It's not a matter of functions, it's his compulsion to articulate it. And at the UN? Come the fuck on.
