http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/msid-1767800,curpg-1.cms Apparently they didn't realize the microphone was on .. Bush used a four letter word and they both agreed that Bashad(I think thats the name) is "sweet", even "honey". It's a bit funny.
They're talking about Kofi Annan, I think. How he thinks just setting up a cease-fire would make everything fine and dandy. As for Bashar Assad (Bashid? interesting), they have a point. A school-kid kind of point, but still a point. I found this rather amusing, myself. Especially the way Bush talks. He actually sounds okay when he's not making a speech. Blair is nothing short of hilarious, though.
What cracked me up was this : [quote:79eb09080a="George W. Bush, age 11,"]Yo Blair, how are you doing? [/quote:79eb09080a]

Well I talk like that too, to friends, but not to most colleagues, and especially not fellow-heads-of-state... What ?
It is for real, and they don't really say all that much. I'm just entertained by the way heads of state speak.
Yes, it's quite surprising when they talk like normal people, yeah? I'm still waiting to see the spin on Bush saying a "dirty word".
Brad, Brad, Brad. Everyone knows politicians aren't real people. They're cyborg aliens. Cyborg aliens don't say 'Yo.' It's an affront to common decency.

George W. could always be thinking that going for the try-hard 80s gansta look would impress Blair (who wouldn't know any better)... Besides Clay doesn't say 'Yo'... well I never heard him say yo. Grace has Garner ever said 'Yo bitch get your arse in the kitchen and cook me some pie'? I mean and lived to tell the tale...

I know a lot of people who say "Yo". This is mostly because the people I know enjoy using outdated slang in an ironic sort of way, to the extent that an outsider (probably a non-Brit) may well not realise it was ironic. Clay often says, "Yo bitch!" to me, but I find it funny. I couldn't comment on Dubya's use of the word.
'Yo' is still acceptable Philadelphian. Even I catch myself occasionally yelling "Hey, Yo!" accross the street if I have to get someone's attention.
Notes the Brad and Clay are old and out-dated. Must remember to buy more up-to-date models soon before they become incompatible with existing linguistics...
