'Has the place blown up?' Bush's attempt at being funny
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050915/od_nm/bolton_annan_dc_1

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - John Bolton's reputation as a difficult diplomat gave his boss, U.S. President George W. Bush, an opportunity to tease the new American ambassador to the United Nations.

"How's he doing? Has the place blown up?" Bush asked U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan as the president and Bolton arrived at U.N. headquarters on Tuesday for a world summit.

The president's jest was captured on videotape by a U.N. television crew.

(snip)

"You blown up yet? Heh Heh!" Oh, that Bush....He's a card!

Anyone seen a tape of this yet?
