The conversation, which began with President Bush greeting Prime Minister Blair with a ‘Yo’, is transcribed below.
Blair: Tally ho! Hurrah hurrah! How can we save the world today?
Bush: Who the hell’s that homo Put-Put Putin is talkin’ to? Ya think Put Put’s gay? The guy’s so intense. He needs to get laid.
Blair: Here, here! By George! What of this Israel Lebanon crisis?
Bush: I ain’t gonna let nobody mess with my Jews in the hood. Hezbollah is kinda funny sounding ain’t it? It’s funny if you say it a lot - Hezbollah, Hezbollah, Hezbollah. Ha ha!
Blair: Jolly good! The UN and everyone else in the world are calling for a ceasefire. What should we do?
Bush: What the hell’s Merkel eatin? Pork at 8 in the morning? No wonder Germans have asses like that. I betcha she wears a thong too.
Blair: Yes, bravo! Shall I go to Muslimstine and Jewsrael and allay their woes with my eloquence?
Bush: Be a trooper and grab me some of them croissants before Frog face eats em all. When we gonna invade Iran anyway? My popularity is dippin.
Blair: Marvellous! Splendid! Let’s do it soon so Gordy Brown-bottom has to deal with the backlash. Hurrah!
White House Spokesman Tony Snow defended the president’s use of ‘colloquial’ language. “Using small words doesn’t mean the President doesn’t understand big issues. Why without big words, there would only be small problems.”
