Bush's Bathroom Break

Friday September 16, 2005
During a meeting of the UN General Assembly, President Bush was caught on camera scribbling a note informing Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that he needed to take a "bathroom break." In what is sure to go down as one of Bush's most embarrassing moments, Bush wrote, "I think I MAY NEED A BATHroom break? Is this possible?" View the hilarious photo currently making the rounds on the Internets, as well as a few amusing parodies.

For those of you keeping score at home, our purportedly macho but undeniably gaffe-prone leader has now fallen off a Segway scooter, slammed his head on Marine One, dropped his dog, desecrated a flag, choked on a pretzel, not to mention being violated by a turkey and outwitted by an umbrella.

Poll: What phrase best describes your opinion of President Bush?
1) Strong leader
2) Miserable failure
3) Honest straight-talker
4) Arrogant liar
5) Christian patriot
6) Clueless moron
