Please Miss can I goto the toilet?
Vital UN discussions world leaders around a table, Bush scribbles down urgently on a note and passes it to Ms Rice behind him. is it a confirmation of a new policy, a key unveiling of a new breakthrough in the fight against terorism being discussed no far more important than that....
“I think I may need a bathroom break? Is this possible.”

If it has been produced as a satire it could well have been funny. But instead it was presented by a journalist and Reuters as actual news. It wasn't until Reuters was called out by several people that they admitted it was a fake.

More recent, so I guess that story stands now.

It kinda has a probability of being true, significant enough to have Bush opponents giggling and Bush supporters worried ("Oh no, what now, George??" etc). I do not think the picture is true. I think it is a well played hoax. (The weak-passive tone of the "note" is spot on!) But I also cannot think of many recent presidents for whom such a story would sound true.
