WASHINGTON — The White House has put out word daily of calls flooding in from around the world to congratulate President Bush on his re-election victory. But somehow, Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero just hasn't been able to get his call past the switchboard. Zapatero phoned Bush not long after his Nov. 2 win, but wasn't put through to the president. Now, more than a week after the voting, the two leaders still have not hooked up. The White House explanation signaled something of a cold shoulder toward the Spanish leader, who angered the administration by withdrawing troops from Iraq just after taking office in April. "I think that may be the case, that he has tried to reach out," Bush press secretary Scott McClellan said Wednesday. "Calls are scheduled at times that are mutually convenient. Some calls are able to be scheduled quicker than others." Meanwhile, Bush met privately on Tuesday at the White House with Spain's former prime minister, Jose Maria Aznar, who was a chief Bush ally in the war in Iraq.

Bravo, Mr. President! And a sincere "Gracias!" to former PM Aznar, who stood by us in this war on terror.

It's 1-800-Drop-Dead
Right after al Qaeda got Zapatero elected in Spain, he said that the voters in the US will be able to do the same thing as in Spain and throw out the government responsible for the invasion (i.e., the liberation) of Iraq. There is no reason for Bush to talk with this person who actively sided with Kerry and wants to unite his country with France and Spain solely to confront the United States. Plus he wants to not hold Cuba responsible for its human rights violations.
The shoemaker, Zapatero, is not impressing GW. Wonder why.
"Thank you for calling the President of the United States. If you are a trusted friend and ally, press one..."
"If you are a sniveling, cowardly socialist, press two..."
*beep*
"Thank you. Please hold, and someone will be with you at approximately the time the sun cools and turns the earth into a barren icicle..."
"...ing with the Queen of Hearts...knowin' it ain't really smart..."
W(singing)"Believe it or not, George isn't at home, please leave a message at the beep, I must be out or I'd pick up the phone, where could I be, believe it or not I'm not home."
"You're either with us or against us." - GWB
May be Kerry will talk to him, I'm pretty sure he's not busy.
I'm sorry but the President is NOT HERE. We don't know when he will be returning. We'll ask him to call you back. [NOT]
Seems Like a freeze Out
Como se dice "ouch" en espanol?
We now return you to your regularly-scheduled thread...
