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.

Was it the real Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero or was it his cousin Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero or his cousins brother Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero?
Was it uncle Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero or Grandpa Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero?

I think jrewingjr got it right.
Maybe Spain's conservative 49% want to turn this BS around and rejoin the brave and the free. I hope.
He can't -- he's busy with his exclusive Bob Woodward bedside interview.
Bravo.
well, obviously hell hasn't frozen over yet
Aznar would be a perfect replacement for disgraced UN General Kofi Annan.
I hope the Phillipines aren't waiting for any return calls either!
"Hello...the Party you are trying to reach, G-O-P, thinks you're a backstabbing wimp and can go get bent. Please hang up and try your suck-up act later."
hey Zapatero...
The Marshal deputized you, and then when he went out in the street and called out the outlaws, you turned around and ran.
Don't be expectin' too much, you low down yellow-stripe skunk.
The only thing I disagree with Bush on is Illegal Immigration. It's gotta stop.
Very recently I read an article that stated Zapatero sees his main foreign policy function as opposing the United States. And sucking up to France/Germs.
I agree it's regretable, but Zapatero has clearly chosen his path. And it's not the same as ours. I hope the Spaniards can correct the situation.

LOL! That's it:) Just had a flashback to my Miami days, with my Cuban friends!
That number didn't work, so he tried Bush's cell:
