BUSH IS STOOD UP; MALIKI STANDS DOWN; LET’S GET THIS OVER AND BRING IN THE CLOWNS
In an incident virtually unprecedented in the carefully-choreographed world of diplomacy, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki snubbed Bush at a planned summit meeting in Amman, Jordan, creating speculation about a rift between the two leaders.

Maliki was apparently upset by a leaked memo from the Bush Administration, which called Maliki’s manhood into question with the ultimate insult for an Iraqi Shiite: that he couldn’t hit the side of a fallen Saddam Hussein statue with the bottom of his shoe.

White House spokesman Tony Snow tried to minimize the incident, claiming that there was simply a mix-up over the restaurant at which the meeting was scheduled, since Amman has over 900 eateries named “Mohammed’s” (as well as 500 Original Ray’s Pizzas).
