Blair Says, "Anglophone Countries Must Stick Together"; Bush Replies, "We'll Use Our Own Phones, Thank You Very Much"

British Prime Minister Tony Blair, in Washington for a visit with President George Bush, iterated in a speech to the Washington Press Club on Thursday afternoon that, "Anglophone countries should stick together and help one another to thwart terrorists around the globe."

Upon hearing of the contents of Blair's speech, President Bush replied, "Good idea, but we'll use our own phones, thank you very much. I don't trust European tel-com further'n I can throw it, which ain't far, seein' as I don't even know where in the Sam Hill it is."

Blair is rumored to have wept all the way back to England.
