Bush & Blair overheard at G8

Guys check this out i'd love to see a vid of it to see thier facial expressions.

I'm sure there is more to this than meets the eye.

Abslotutley hilarious the way Bush strts of with "yo blair" this coming form the apparent leader of one of the top nations in the world

Bush: Yo, Blair. How are you doing? (Does he regard Mr Blair as an equal? What about ‘Yo, Tony’?)

Blair: I’m just…

Bush: You’re leaving?

Blair: No, no, no not yet. On this trade thingy….(inaudible) (Mr Blair is getting anxious that the World Trade Organisation is falling apart because some nations, including the US, are putting domestic interests before a worldwide free trade agreement)

Bush: Yeah, I told that to the man.

Blair: Are you planning to say that here or not?

Bush: If you want me to.

Blair: Well, it’s just that if the discussion arises…

Bush: I just want some movement.

Blair: Yeah.

Bush: Yesterday we didn’t see much movement.

Blair: No, no, it may be that it’s not, it may be that it’s impossible.

Bush: I am prepared to say it.

Blair: But it’s just I think what we need to be an opposition…

Bush: Who is introducing the trade?

Blair: Angela (The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, will lead the trade discussion. That is good for Mr Blair. She is on his side.)

Bush: Tell her to call ‘em.

Blair: Yes.

Bush: Tell her to put him on, them on the spot. Thanks for the sweater it’s awfully thoughtful of you.

Blair: It’s a pleasure.

Bush: I know you picked it out yourself.

Blair: Oh, absolutely, in fact (inaudible)

Bush: What about Kofi? (inaudible) His attitude to ceasefire and everything else … happens. (Change of subject. Now they are on to Lebanon and the UN secretary general, Kofi Annan)

Blair: Yeah, no I think the (inaudible) is really difficult. We can’t stop this unless you get this international business agreed.

Bush: Yeah. (Mr Blair is trying to push the idea of a UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon. That ‘yeah’ does not sound like a wholehearted agreement)

Blair: I don’t know what you guys have talked about, but as I say I am perfectly happy to try and see what the lie of the land is, but you need that done quickly because otherwise it will spiral. (Meaning: ‘Please, George, let me go to the Middle East and be a world statesman’)
Bush: I think Condi is going to go pretty soon. (Meaning: ‘No’)

Blair: But that’s, that’s, that’s all that matters. But if you… you see it will take some time to get that together. (Meaning: ‘Oh well, all right, if you don’t want me to. Just a thought’)

Bush: Yeah, yeah.

Blair: But at least it gives people…

Bush: It’s a process, I agree. I told her your offer to… (Meaning: ‘Drop it. You’re not going.’)

Blair: Well… it’s only if I mean… you know. If she’s got a…, or if she needs the ground prepared as it were… Because obviously if she goes out, she’s got to succeed, if it were, whereas I can go out and just talk.

Bush: You see, the … thing is what they need to do is to get Syria, to get Hizbollah to stop doing this # and it’s over. (Mr Bush is expressing his belief that Syria is pulling Hizbollah’s strings, while Mr Blair is hinting the Syrians might be up to no good as well)

Blair: (inaudible)

Bush: (inaudible)

Blair: Syria.

Bush: Why?

Blair: Because I think this is all part of the same thing.

Bush: Yeah.

Blair: What does he think? He thinks if Lebanon turns out fine, if we get a solution in Israel and Palestine, Iraq goes in the right way… (Here they might be talking about Kofi Annan, or they may mean the Syrian President, Bashir Assad)

Bush: Yeah, yeah, he is sweet. (Mr Bush is probably being sarcastic)

Blair: He is honey. And that’s what the whole thing is about. It’s the same with Iraq.

Bush: I felt like telling Kofi to call, to get on the phone to Assad and make something happen.

Blair: Yeah.

Bush: (inaudible)

Blairinaudible)

Bush: We are

Ok, thats kinda creepy and odd and and... Yo, Blair??


Bush: Yeah, yeah, he is sweet.
Blair: He is honey.

Honey! Dear me! I wonder if who they are talking about has nicked that pheromone perfume from Condi... The bit about the sweater... Bush knew Blair picked it himself

So where did you get this from? Who was it that listened in on the conversation?

Um this has been covered in like 3 different posts already.

Meh. It's still funny. The video is great. You should see them once they realize that's a live mike in front of them!@!

All Blair does is turn it off...it isn't really that funny...

This is hilarious, they make a huge public cock up and it's also being broadcast.

well weird these guys really need to start behaving and stop making public cock ups

They were at a meeting/dinner and they started chatting, unbeknown to them the mike was switched on and recording.

What a converstion to over hear, imagine what they talk about behind closed doors if they speak openly about it in public

from what I have read the G8 is not to happy, then we have bush stuffing his face and speaking at the same time, the man has no manners at all.

he claims not to drink, I wounder what brand of beer he has there.

As mentioned, there were numerous threads about this incident. Please post your comments here:
