President Bush stepped into the middle of a confrontation and pulled his lead Secret Service agent away from Chilean security officials who barred his bodyguards from entering an elegant dinner for 21 world leaders Saturday night.

Several Chilean and American agents got into a pushing and shoving match outside the cultural center where the dinner was held. Bush noticed the fracas after posing for pictures on a red carpet with the summit host, Chilean President Ricardo Lagos and his wife and first lady Laura Bush.

Los Chileanos hablan mas rapidemente!

Way beyond my poor ability to follow what the heck they were talking about. They talk so fast that the translator could keep up with what President Bush was saying. Other Spanish translators tend to fall behind, because it usually takes more words and more syllables to say the same thing in Spanish as in English. Not the lady translating for the the joint press conference.

finally got to see Pooty Poot smile. He always has such a sullen look, as if he is always mad at the world.

If you were in charge of running Russia, with the mess the Reds left, you'd be mad at the world most of the time too. Still Putin does seem to have a sense of humor, or did a few years ago.

Putin's companion didn't appear to be the security type, FWIW.

His translator, I'm sure. But probably still a security and/or intelligence type as well.

It's very telling that incidents like this cannot be scripted. There is no doubt we are living in the time of a great man.

I don't trust any of these commie/Islamofascist/socialist/ states

Chile long ago privatized its version of Social Security. Bush is probably trying to find out how, politically, they did it.

Actually he did fly the plane about 1/2 way to the aircraft carrier.

I knew that. You or I could fly the S-3 once it's airborne, so it had to be childs play for a former F-102 pilot. Landing on the carrier is a whole 'nother ball of wax though. That takes constant practice, and we still lose alot of Navy/Marine planes and pilots. Though, I'm sure the President would grab a 3 wire most everytime, once he got the training and practice needed.

It seems to me that our man was actually pulling the other two officers/agents AWAY from the door (perhaps as a protective measure to keep them from our President).

And yes........I do believe he enjoyed the change of pace. :o)

I do too, but I really liked the look in his eyes as he shook his head and said something. I'd also like to know what that something was. This was just before he straightend his cuffs and put on his diplomatic face again.

My horse wouldn't appreciate your atempts at that.

And mares tend to express their displeasure in such matters by kicking the snot out of the object of that displeasure. I saw it happen to our little stallion who was trying to mount a mare that was considerably larger than him, and while he was on a rope stacked to the ground. Without the rope, he'd have gotten the job done most likely. As it was, he got the hooves.

I was looking for a spanish translation. I don't know how to spell the ones I know. All I can find from my books is stuff like "nice to meet you":')

Maybe something like "Bastantes, hijo de una puta!" (Enough son a whore) That will get a rise out of most Spanish speaking males, at least Latin American ones. The Spanish themselves seem to have lost the necessary equipment.
