BUSH FORGETS POLAND

Money quote:
"Referring to a possible end to a longstanding dispute over visas for Polish citizens travelling to the United States, Bush said: 'I want to thank you for your leadership on that issue, Mr Prime Minister.'

Kwasniewski did not seem troubled, but he quietly said 'president,' prompting Bush to correct himself quickly: 'I mean, Mr President. Excuse me.'

'I demoted him,' Bush quipped, adding: 'Well, it's not a demotion. It's a lateral transfer.'
Yipes.
