Overheard between Bush and Cheney

Ran into this transcript at Smug Nugget:

Hu's on the White House Lawn
Bush: Look Dick. You're the Vice-President. You must know all the world leaders.

Cheney: I certainly do.

Bush: Well you know I've never met most of them. So you'll have to tell me their names, and then I'll know who runs what.

Cheney: I'll tell you their names, George, but you know it seems to me they give these world leaders now-a-days very peculiar names.

Bush: You mean funny names?

Cheney: Strange names . . . like Mwai Kibaki.

Bush: Your whatty?

Cheney: Mwai Kibaki, the President of Kenya.

Bush: Oh.

Cheney: Let's see. Who else should you know? Putin's in Russia, Chirac's in France, Hu's in China . . .

Bush: That's what I want to find out. I heard that last one's coming to visit today.

Cheney: I said Hu's in China.

A wonderful reworking of a classic...
