“I think I MAY NEED A BATHroom break? Is this possible”

OK, do Dubya’s human too, and humans occasionally need to go to the potty, but as Sarah points out, it hardly fits the magnificence of how Reuters spun it:

President George W. Bush writes a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a Security Council meeting at the 2005 World Summit and 60th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York September 14, 2005. World leaders are exploring ways to revitalize the United Nations at a summit on Wednesday but their blueprint falls short of Secretary-General Kofi Annan’s vision of freedom from want, persecution and war.

The text of the note, in glorious, near-‘LEET Mixed CapitaliZATION, reads:

I think I MAY NEED A BATHroom break? Is this poss(obscured)

…and I am not wholly convinced that the final word is “possible”?

Anyway, who’s to know how Mommy Mistress Condoleezza responded?

**** UPDATE: 0810h ****

Here’s an observation: If that second half does read “Is this possible”, isn’t it odd that the “I” of “Is” is a loop, rather than a serif capital?

Could this be a Photoshop job? Or a response to something Condi wrote above?

Ooh! Smell the potty conspiracy!

    “I think I may need a bathroom break? Is this possible?” a Reuters news agency photographer caught him writing in a note to Ms Rice.

    re: It’s NOT a hoax ?

    Actually, if you *read* the article for which you provided the URL, it is saying that the photo is real, but that the release of the photo was unintentional…

    So, that’d make it *not* a hoax, correct?
