So, George is coming!

What an honor. And while Germany prepares for this visit I learned the following from an Interview George gave on German TV (here ARD) yesterday:

He and Schröder are now so close that he refers to Schröder as Gerhard all the time ...the relationship between Germany and America could only be better if he would say Jerry!

Jerry, äh, Gerhard knows nothing about the NATO and needs some serious coaching, but thanks to George (you don't mind that I call you George, do you - we are friends!), he will give him some private lessons!

The question if he supports Germany's demand for a permanent seat at the security council is funny - it should be answered with a deep and hearty laugh!
