Bush unites Europe and America in indifference to him

President Bush's European vacation alliance-building trip is over. And what'd he get? A lot of great memories and some new friends that he's totally going to stay in touch with after he gets back. Plus, did you know they have different money over there? And when you flush the toilet you have to pull this chain hanging from a box up near the ceiling!

Surprisingly, the trip went off without many protests. Maybe the Europeans were just as surprised as we are that Bush is still actually the president.

Bush did score one small victory: an announcement by Gordon Brown that the EU would freeze more of Iran's assets, which perhaps took the sting out of Brown telling Bush that "bangers" were just sausage, and not something dirty.

Laura hasn't had time to scrapbook the trip yet, but you can get a preview here, in our slideshow of Bush's European adventure.
