Calling yourself an adult and knowing how to act like one are different things. George W. Bush seems to need to ask permission to go potty. Sure, it's polite to write a note. But who has ever written a note to anyone asking to go to the bathroom during a business meeting? Certainly an engaged adult brain would figure out how to get to the bathroom on their own. Or, you know, maybe tell Condi he was going so she could cover for him. But to ask for permission?

The legible text of the note from George to his handler, Condi:
I think I may need a bathroom break?
Is this possible?
This should make a lovely addition to Bush's presidential library.
Update: here's a wider shot of our Dear Leader asking to pee.
