    Oh my God, Bush had to take a piss!!!
    Clinton and Kofi Annan never took a pissed, its time for Congress to set up an investigation on this and get to the bottom of it. I'm ashamed to be an American.

    What's funny isnt that he has got to pee, but that he's asking permission to do it. He's president for the USofA and he needs permission to pee ROFLMAO

    Yep, he had to ask Cheney if it was OK.

    I was gonna make that point, lol.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    The article says he asked Condi Rice, not Cheney. Which would make it all the more hilarious (and a little creepy).

    Kerry did worse than bush, and FDR also got Cs in Harvard. Your argument is null and void.

    I accept your reality and substitute it with my own.

    That's because Condi is the only one who knows the "undisclosed location" of Cheney.

    the link doesnt work, I think.

    They probably just put in a filter, not the text itself.

    Not to rain on the fun, because it is funny, but sounds like he was trying to be tactful. Maybe he's self-conscious after being portrayed as such a twit for so long.

    Hey, I'm not really giving him a hard time over this. I've seen similar things happen in meetings, where the key participant is obviously in need of relieving himself.

    I remember a coworker getting tapped for a random drug screen 5 minutes before his big project presentation to the site president of a huge chemical plant. Yes, it was truly random, but he had no way of waiting until after the meeting (strict time limits after the call.) He literally had to tell them he would be unable to present his project because he had to go pee in a cup. Takes weeks to reschedule something like that (the meeting, not whizzing in the cup.)

    Anyone got other examples of major politicians being in similar awkward situations? Preferably ones which were resolved less tactfully?
