3. And what was the inside joke?
Something about...Pelosi looks a lot like someone. A reporter included this in his question and * just said it was an inside joke and answered the rest of the question.

10. "Don't you know that India has the bomb? You see, we can't stand
for nukular perforation. And Condi tells me that India is aligned with the Russkies, and that's why we have to support the Muslim dictatorship in Pakistan, because the Hindoo democracy in India is full of reds. THAT's the Indian problem."

15. No, I think he meant India. Here's a link:

Speaking after the loss, President Bush said that getting the India-US nuclear deal through the Senate next week was a priority.

"I'm trying to get the Indian (nuclear) deal done," he said.

16. Maybe something went wrong with the "Indian mango/nuclear secret" trade
Remember when Bush announced that he couldn't wait to eat "Indian mangoes" when discussing trade with India, including nuclear secrets. I know, India just went to the White House website - got the secrets for free and told Bush that he ain't gettin' any Indian mangoes.
