Please can I go to the loo? Bush asks Condi

He may be the most powerful man in the world but George Bush still had to ask his Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for permission to take a bathroom break.
The toilet trauma unfolded in the Security Council meeting of the UN General Assembly in New York, when Bush realised he must have had too many cups of coffee before the long meeting.
Obviously unsure of whether he would survive the lengthy debate on international security and UN reform, he scribbled a note to Rice which read: "I think I MAY NEED A BATHroom break. Is this possible?"
Unfortunately his childish writing, capped up and lower case at random, was snapped by a Reuters photographer and broadcast around the world.
It is unknown whether Condoleezza Rice gave her permission.
