(Pensamientos muy personales) George W. Bush: Creo que necesito ir al bańo…

Como ustedes recordarán, la agencia Reuters
capturo una foto del Presidente Bush en las
Naciones Unidas escribiendo en un papel
preguntando si podía ir al lavabo ,
pero por desgracia, Reuters no supo
captar la otra parte del mensaje que
estaba escrito en la parte inversa
de dicha nota. Hoy tenemos el placer
de presentarles en primicia la nota completa:

Creo que necesito ir al bańo…

Más bien, creo que seria necesario obtener unas
largas vacaciones, yo creo que más o menos con
tres ańos me bastaría, una vez mi segundo mandato
presidencial expire.

Me gustaría tener la ocasión de irme a un lugar
lejano, donde no oyera hablar del huracán en Irak,
los terroristas de Nueva Orleans, la bajada de los
precios de gasolina y de la incesante mejora de la
economía americana y ni siquiera tener noticias de
mi imparable incremento de popularidad ˇ!!!!!!!

Por cierto, puedo o no puedo ir al bańo?
