Bush: Yo, Blair. How are you doing?
Blair: I'm just...
Bush: You're leaving?
Blair: No, no, no not yet. On this trade thingy...[indistinct]
Bush: Yeah, I told that to the man.
Blair: Are you planning to say that here or not?

I watched a video of it yesterday and I love it. It's so great to hear the president talk like himself and not like some robot spitting out words that his dad's old cronies put in there.

Seen it, chuckled at it. If you ever needed proof that Blair was a supine, fawning sycophant, then this little exchange pretty much sealed it.

I found it simultaneously hilarious and terrifying that that's the President of the United States and the United Kingdom's Prime Minister chatting.

Bush calls everyone but Blair by their first names.
If you're Blair, should you think of that as demeaning or elevating?
