Bush frightened of Israeli water

[jgraz]

Another high point for our coward-in-chief.

Bush a bit wary of drinking the water

On a sun-baked tour Thursday of an ancient Israeli fortress overlooking the Dead Sea, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert took a sip of water from a silver cup, then handed it to President Bush.

Bush looked into the cup, then quickly set it down. He wasn't sure he should wet his lips with water from an unknown source.

"Where's the doctor?" Bush asked and then chuckled.

Not wanting to offend his Israeli host, Bush gave Olmert a big hug for the cameras.

Later, their tour guide at Masada explained that the water wasn't meant for drinking anyway.

The guide told them to pour the water on a model of Masada's massive system of dams, channels and cisterns that could hold 40,000 cubic meters of water. When they poured it on the model, they could watch as it flowed through the system.

Oh, that's what the water was for.

Photo-op success!

His official taster wasn't there so he was worried about poison. When you act like the Borgias, etc.

7. Drunks always profess an aversion to drinking water

If it's not alcohol, it's not worth the effort of swallowing.

9. Not wanting to offend his host...

"Not wanting to offend his Israeli host, Bush gave Olmert a big hug for the cameras."


Some people, me for one, find unsolicited hugs offensive, and an invasion of personal space.

"No, thank you" is the appropriate adult response when offered something you don't want. No explanations necessary. Babs did a poor job raising this one.

Is it Jan. 20 yet?
