Why did he raise his hand?

[question everything]

In all the pictures from the UN there is one where Bush is raising his hand as if to ask a question in a classroom. Is that what he did? Was he granted permission to talk? And if yes, what did he say/ask?

1. I assume he was voting

[question everything]

2. On what?

massive reforms...this is a big meeting involving all world leaders.

3. How many fingers was he raising?

Perhaps he needed to go to the little boys room .... BAD.

5. That's precisely why he raised his hand

That's why Condi and company were laughing. The fucking President couldn't hold his piss.

6. Was he doing "the potty dance"?

Difficult to tell with that big table in the way. :rofl:

9. That photo is now making it's way around the world!

from E&P

The Times of London, for example, ran no less than three separate articles about it on its Web site, one at the top of its front page. (It's a Murdoch paper.) One headline reads: "Excuse me Condi, can I go to the bathroom?" Another story, believe it or not, opens: "The need to relieve oneself diplomatically has on occasion determined the fate of nations." The third discusses the sordid history of the particulatar lavatory in question, and contains this passage: "Medical experts said that the 59-year-old President was wise not to wait any longer."

The headline at the BBC news site suggested that Bush had been "caught short" at the U.N. summit. The Irish Examiner headline? "To Pee or Not to Pee, That is the Question." Der Spiegel in Germany translated a bathroom break" as "eine Toiletten-Pause."

10. That's hilarious !

I have no idea why being 59 has anything to do with it, but whatever it takes to join in the fun I guess. :rofl:

Wilking told Gelf magazine today that he has not yet heard from the president—whom he says he knows very well—about the note. “I’m curious to know what the White House thinks,” Wilking said.
