HEILIGENDAMM, Germany - President Bush came down with a stomach ailment Friday at the G-8 summit in Germany and is resting in his room.

"I'm not sure if it's a stomach virus yet or something like that," Dan Bartlett, counselor to the president told reporters. "He's just not feeling well in his stomach,"

Although ill, the president did meet for an hour with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, but, as a precaution, the meeting took place in Bush's private room.

"The president felt that they established a real personal rapport," Bartlett said, adding that they discussed s myriad of issues, including Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Darfur, trade and missile defense.

Dr. Richard Tubb, Bush's doctor, is monitoring the president's health, Bartlett said.

He said Bush hoped to rejoin the other leaders at the summit.

Bartlett joked that Bush was staying in his room because he didn't want to follow in the footsteps of his father, former President George H. W. Bush.

Bush's father became ill and collapsed in the international spotlight in January 1992 during a summit in Tokyo. The president called his fainting, which was captured on film and run repeatedly on television, "a little tiny bout of the flu" adding, "That's all there is to it."

A videotape of Bush's collapse at a state dinner showed him toppling unconscious from his chair and vomiting as Barbara Bush rushed to aid him.

Bartlett said Bush's illness is "not serious." He was already dressed this morning when he began feeling ill, but taped his radio address and at this point has no changes to his travel plans for the day.

Bush is scheduled to fly from Germany later in the day to Poland, ending by spending the night in Rome.

Bartlett said Sarkozy was interested in hearing about Putin's missile defense proposal, but didn't go beyond that. Bush will discuss the matter with the Polish president this afternoon.

"It'll be an important consultation but don't expect to have definitive answers to a very complicated set of issues," Bartlett said. "This is going to be a continuing dialogue with all interested parties. The president's meeting with the Polish government is very timely."

I think it's funny that he's trying to avoid a repeat performance of his father, who puked all over himself a formal dinner in Japan.

Shit....given the way things are going with Putin lately, Chimpy was probably poisoned by the KGB.

"President Bush, may I toss your salad in the conference room?"

"Why sure, I love salad!"

There is a look of longing in their eyes, isn't there?

No wonder they're arguing...

We always hurt the one we love.

Hey, Angie.... I just wanna apologize for that shoulder massage I tried to do in the middle of the conference the last time we met.

Whattya say we drink a few more of these and then go back up to my suite where I can do that massaging thing right?

Hell, I love German beer! Even though my grandaddy's friend lost the war, at least y'all didn't lose the important stuff.....

I think he saw his Amnesty bill going down in flames while realizing the fact that the new French leader is to the right of him on Immigration. It makes me sick thinking about it.

It's the shadow being cast by the glass serving tray that the drinks are on.

Yeah, I see that now. I didn't notice that the tray was glass at first.
