An interesting conversation ....

This must have been a heck of a conversation:

His Holiness, the XIV Dalai Lama, met at the White House this morning with the President and the National Security Advisor to discuss Tibet.

Betcha W broke the ice by saying, "Hello, Dalai!"

 

Classic.

 

Can't wait to hear what nickname Shrub gives him.

 

Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga.

 

Hope nobody makes an issue because his holiness wore flip-flops to the White House.

 

George appears to be trying to look into his soul.

 

I like how Bush commended the Lama's commitment to non-violence. :

That'd be like him commending Jeffrey Dahmer on his dinner choice.
"Well, I wouldn't have gone that way, but it looks mighty tasty!"

 

. . . well, hello, Dalai . . .
It's so nice to have you back where you belong.
You're looking swell, Dalai,
we can tell, Dalai,
you're still instructin' those Chinese
about right . . . and wrong . . .

 

"Hey, who's the guy in the sheets?"

 

Big hitter, the Lama.

 

Because he wants to know what one looks like.
