"on't you love it? The lady from the fictional country of "New Zealand" seems to be completely unable to look at Bush without scowling. Then again, she wasn't exactly swinging from the chandeliers when she met Condi yesterday, either. Maybe she's just not a very happy person? Or maybe she just knows an asshole when she sees one."

3. She does NOT look awestruck.

If looks could kill, he would be withering into a pile of charred ashes on the floor.

10. Poor Ms. Clark - she looks as though she's smelling something REALLY disgusting

15. It's that sulfur smell....

I imagine, the next president will have to put in new carpets and paint to get that stench out of the oval office.

11. Concurrently....

...this picture encapsulates the Bush at his best.

12. its a cultural thing I think

I heard that both Kiwi's (New Zealanders) and Aussie's are both blunt, honest and direct to the point of rudeness (in American eyes anyway) about how they feel about people. This picture confirms that to me!

13. I spent a couple of weeks in NZ a few years ago

and they are very direct, but also very polite. Saw PM Clark on the telly many times when I was down there and she seemed like a nice, sane, normal person. Which explains why she despises Chimpoleon.
