...and to think.....Japan and the United States were once sworn enemies....
I have been laughing about this for 2days. The Japanese Prime Minister is a doll and President Bush is too. It's the cutest thing I have ever seen.
He looks like Richard Gere..........
Koizumi Rocks!!!
This guy is too adorable!
Tony is one helluva a sax player! Plays professionally, or used to up until a few years ago.

>>>GRILLED FRIED peanut butter and banana sandwiches>>>
HUH? Which is it?
I heard a clip on Rush Limbaugh in which President Bush said that Prime Minister Koizumi was like Elvis, they both had great hair ;-)
Ok, call me corny, but I think this is CUTE.
I mean what fun. I'm glad our president can show leaders of the world what a good person he is and that Priscilla and Lisa Marie showed the Japanese PM a good time.
It doesn't ALL have to be serious world issues.
>>>He looks like Richard Gere..........>>>
Yeah, he does in that picture, doesn't he?
Grilled, then fried!!
He didn't get to be "Fat Elvis" without a carefully planned diet you know!
minus the gerbil of course...........
LOL! The President also said "I knew he was an Elvis fan, but I didn't know he was this big of an Elvis fan." Too darn funny. It was the highlight of my day.
It reminds me of Ronald Reagan's style.
I remember reading about a quip me made to Canadian Prime Minister Mulroney about how lucky they were to have their wives as they were walking towards them to board AF1.
Gerbil? In his pocket?.......
HUH? Which is it?
Both actually.
