President Bush Embarrassed by “Crazy, Foreign” Friend

Washington, D.C.- President Bush was spotted yesterday picking up a friend from the airport.

“You’ll have to forgive him, everybody,” explained President Bush. “He’s foreign.”

The President wore a black suit and seemed to be nothing but professional; while his friend wore garish white robes and gesticulated wildly as he spoke. President Bush attributes the outrageous behavior of his companion as evidence of cultural differences.

“I mean, he doesn’t really even speak English,” noted the President. “Most of the time it’s just funny talk. But he’s a nice guy and he makes me laugh. I wish everyone would just give him a break.”

Reports suggest that President Bush hurried his friend to the White House to avoid contact with the media. Allegedly, the President cancelled his plans to eat out; instead opting to stay in for a quiet dinner at home.
