CNBC Reporting Bush Sick staying in Room so he doesn't Repeat Father's Mistake

[KoKo]

when he became violently ill when meeting in Japan with dignitaries."

Apparently Bush has stomach virus and had to cancel meeting with Sarkozy and African Leaders. He is staying in his room on the Baltic until later today.

Surprising that CNBC/GE would make the connection to Poppy throwing up on the Japanese PM late in his term when his polls were getting low.. CNBC has has a long love affair with the Chimp.

Also there were pictures around DU of Bush drinking it up with Merkel. News about his "Uncle Bandar Bush" and his connection to bribes that Brits and Us probably paid him for "marketing" in selling arms and planes to the Saudi's might have caused a slight stomach problem... The Brits re-opening that investigation and bringing up the old Riggs Bank Scandals here in the US should be enough to give both Blair and Bush some big tummy problems.

1. A bad case of Caughtitis Paybackus. n/t

[whistle]

2. That was the Riggs Bank/Allbritton family laundry business I believe

<snip>
Riggs Bank was fined $25 million for violations of money-laundering laws. A long running Justice Department investigation was wrapped up quickly in Feb. 2005 with Riggs pleading guilty and paying a $16 million fine for violations for the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act after a Wall Street Journal article reported 12/31/04 that Riggs had extensive ties to the CIA, including that several bank officials held security clearances. Also, on Feb 2005, the bank and Allbritton family agreed to pay $9 million to Pinochet victims for concealing and illegally facilitating movement of Pinochet money out of Britain. No similar payment has been made with regard to Equatorial Guinea, as reported in this weekly Anti-Money Laundering Report from the Fair Finance Watch.

3. Or maybe Pootie Poot slipped a little polonium in Shrub's schnitzel...

Nah, he's hungover.

That Frau Merkel can drink with the pros and if our not quite reformed alcoholic president tried to keep up with her he'd be flat on his ass.

4. I wonder if he's been tested for radiation.

He and Poot-poot aren't best buds anymore.

And we know what happens to people Vladimir (I call him Vladimir... heh heh) doesn't like.

5. Hope they dont treat him with German drugs ...

That would be horrible ... you know how only ones bought in America are safe enough for Americans to use ...

6. Too many "nonalcoholic" brewskies perhaps?? nt

[bunkerbuster1]

7. My first thought. and it would be irresponsible to regenerate the "off the wagon" rumors

So let's not do it. Let's make sure NOT to mention that Bush was photographed pounding beer that may or may not have been non-alcoholic, and allege that he was just hung over this morning.

That would be wrong.

[Vinca]

9. Even though we've got the photos.

:rofl:

[bunkerbuster1]

10. Yes, even though it sure LOOKS like he was poundin' brewskis

and it sure sounds like he was just hung over this morning and blew off his early meeting, doesn't mean he actually got plastered last night, and has fallen off the wagon.

So don't say that.

[Lint Head]

8. Sick? He's insane!

He needs to be locked away in a padded room. Kept away from other human beings. He is a danger to human life. :dem:

[soothsayer]

11. Pooty poot slip him a polonium cocktail?

12. My Guesses on Real Reason Bush Left Early

I encourage everyone to guess the Real reason why King George left the G-8 Summit early. Here's my thoughts.

1. In the Men's room, Putin threatened to gouge out his eyeballs.

2. Bush had a sudden uncontrollable urge to clear brush.

3. The CIA told him a terrorist attack was imminent on Germany and he couldn't find an elementary school to hide out in.

4. The other world leaders actually asked him what he was really going to do about Global Climate Change, other than give a speech.

13. A Classic Reaction of a BULLY when confronted with facts/wit/etc. They pout and hide

14. He's a hungover coward.
