Even Mr. Bush's strongest ally, Tony Blair said that he had never seen the president looked so disturbed.  "I saw him talking by himself near a palm tree, and at first thought he was on a cell phone, but he was really just talking to the damn tree about Kerry's lead in the pools," said Blair.  French President Jacques Chirac also said, "I had always thought Mr. Bush was a 'la tête de bout' (a butthead), but I never knew zat he was, how you say 'as crazy as a shithouse rat!'."
