Our President is Just Sooooo Funny

From the wire services:

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.
