Reply #36: Fan this to everyone you know tomorrow [View All]

[Colonel Bat Guano]

Think how bad this is for him.

Just when he is at his absolute low in the polls...just when he has abdicated leadership in Katrina...just when he has given 72 hrs notice for a primetime address for him to take his leadership back...

...he writes a note to, depending on your POV, his subordinate (if you're a supporter) or his tutor/master (if you're a detractor), asking for permission to go to the bathroom.

Tomorrow, this will hit some papers and be on TV and radio. Tomorrow night...just when he wants the "leader" coverage to take over...it will be on the Leno/Letterman/O'Brian/Daily Show monologues, and then MORE papers will have it on Friday as a funny/cute sidebar.

He doesn't know to go to the bathroom before a UN meeting. He's not sure if he can go during a UN meeting. He has to write a note to a cabinet member prompting her to consider this burning issue containing two questions (one, does he really need to go, and two, is such a thing possible).

How can he look like a leader again tomorrow with this in the sidebars?
