[President] Bush also attended with Israeli President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert an evening gala related to Israel’s 60th anniversary.

Olmert...embraced Bush at the event, telling him, “You are an unusual person. You are an unusual leader.  And you are an unusual friend of the people of Israel.”

Holding President Bush close in a burly Judeo-Christian man-hug, Olmert continued: “Also, you are an unusual connoisseur of fine ginger ales, which most people do not know about you but I think is really great.  You are an unusual choice for a Trivial Pursuit teammate.  You are unusually good at inventing cruel nicknames to remind ‘friends’ of their subordinate status—‘Shit-mon Per-ass,’ hahaha, that was great, I am really going to keep using that.  Earlier in the men’s room, I noticed that you have an unusually descended left testicle; is this the reason for your comical swagger? When you nap, you begin to suck on your lips like an innocent baby, and your Secret Service men are able to put an unusually hilarious array of tchotchkes in front of your mouth and boy do you suck right onto them as if they were Barbara Bush’s tsitskeh! Even after all these years, you have an unusually hard time keeping straight which of us are the Jews and which the Arabs, even after I taught you the handy rule ‘if he has silly facial hair, he is probably an Arab.’ And lastly, you bear an unusually striking resemblance to a spritely marmot named Ting-Ling that featured prominently in the recurring night-terrors of my youth.”

Moving his shoulders up and down briskly, Bush responded, “Thanks, Prime Minister Oldfart.” He added: “Heh heh heh.”
