President Bush is not above poking fun at balding reporters, especially if theyve asked him some uncomfortable questions.
London, Aug 2 : President Bush is not above poking fun at balding reporters, especially if they've asked him some uncomfortable questions.
His victim, at a press conference at Camp David, was balding BBC political editor Nick Robinson.
According to the Daily Mirror, when Robinson asked the US President if he could trust current British PM Gordon Brown not to "cut and run" from Iraq, Bush dismissively replied: "Are you still hanging around?"
A little while later, he took a gibe again at Robinson, this time poking fun at his waning hair.
"You'd better cover up your bald head, it's getting hot out," Bush said.
Robinson replied: "I didn't known you cared". Bush hit back: "I don't".
The President then snorted disdainfully and walked away.
Bush and Robinson had crossed swords last year when the latter had asked the President if he was in "denial" about the Iraq war.
