NEW YORK In what seems to be destined to become one of the most yacked about photos of the month, if not year, a Reuters photographer today seems to have captured President George W. Bush scribbling a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice suggesting that he needed to take a "bathroom break" during a session at the United Nations.

Oopsy! Got my numbers mixed up. This is why I work in kindergarden. I still write my 5's backwards too. LOL
AARGH! kindergarTen. I'm stopping now as I have no brain cells left, it appears.
PING
I think I may need a bathroom break?
The next sentence appears to begin with the word "Is..."
Conclusion, IF we are looking at the back of President Bush's head, and IF he is truly writing that note to Condi Rice (nothing in the photo indicates such), what appears to be happening is that he is seeking her opinion about calling a temporary halt to the proceedings.
Perhaps the President or his aides thought they needed a break to discuss something in private. The "bathroom break" was a figure of speech in such a context.
LMFAO!!!
Apocryphal comment from a child watching a telecast of a Bill signing: "Daddy, why doesn't the President have a pen that works?"
The note should have said. "Chirac is speaking, time to go take a dump"
Maybe Condi gave him a note that SHE needed a break and he was writing something back to her????? Writing is definitely different.
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings.
Sparks a question-seems to me the note in question is written in the thickest, darkest pencil lead I have ever seen. Looks more like a Sharpie to me.
I just sent an email to tell them how pathetic they are for news if they need to publish something like this.
Also, the exposed segment of pencil lead appears to be longer than one would expect from a common #2 pencil, and it doesn't taper. Almost like a grease pencil in miniature.
That was one of my comments in the email I sent over this... that I seriously doubted any photographer could get that close to the President, much less be allowed to shoot over his shoulder.
How can the President look bad for having to take a pee?? Does the leader of the free world stop peeing when he is elected??
Besides George H. W. Bush, Gerald Ford and Bill Clinton are left-handed. Since only about one-seventh of the population is left-handed, it isn't clear why there were so many Presidents in a short time who were...I think there was only one lefty in the first 100 years of the U.S. Presidency.
If this is a fake something must be done about the media.Is there charges or anything they can face.They want to make Bush look stupid.
Look closely at the case again:
"I think I MAY NEED A BATHroom break?"
Now, simply read the ALL CAPS. Get it?
I MAY NEED A BATH.
It would be really interesting to know exactly who was jibbering on at the UN right about when this note was written. Wouldn't be surprised if it was the French. If you were at the UN, wouldn't you need a bath too?
