President George W. Bush is at the G-8 summit with Tony Blair and they are listening to the prime minster of Belgium, Guy Verhofstadt, drone on about global warming. Blair writes:Heh.
George had arrived bang on time for this first discussion and had not fully said hello to all the participants. He didn’t know or recognize Guy, whose advice he listened to with considerable astonishment.
He turned to me and whispered, “Who is this guy?”
“He’s the prime minister of Belgium,” I said.
“Belgium?” George said, clearly aghast at the possible full extent of his stupidity. “Belgium’s not part of the G8.”
“No,” I said, “but he is the president of Europe.”
“You got Belgians running Europe?” He shook his head, now aghast at our stupidity.
