George W Bush/any foriegn nation-tan. Conversations about history/foriegn policy/whatever.
Could be him and America meeting other nation tans at some world summit, or just bumping into them sans leaders at some speech (that way you don't have to know who the prime minister of another country is/way!). The possibilities are endless!
Make it cracky. Nicknames (presscore style) are appreciated, srs bsnss is not. Russia and Putin are win, but so is everyone else.
4 arrested outside Bush's speaking engagement in Calgary Four people were arrested in downtown Calgary on Tuesday during a protest outside the building where former U.S. president George W. Bush was making his first official speech since leaving office.
Two men were charged with obstructing a peace officer and resisting arrest. Another man was charged with breaching the peace, while the fourth was issued a ticket for violating a public behaviour bylaw, said Duty Insp. Rob Williams of Calgary police.
Bush addressed an invitation-only crowd of about 1,500 at the Telus Convention Centre in his first speech since leaving office. Tickets were reported to cost $400 per person. Media were not allowed inside.
About 200 protesters crowded around the entrance of the convention centre in the morning, heckling ticket holders and chanting "go home."
"I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to publicly voice my displeasure with the American foreign policy" under Bush, said Jeff Gaillus, who was carrying a rod with a shoe at the end of it. "I'm not sure what he has to tell us to shed wisdom on the future of the planet."
-----------------------------------------------
"... So," said Canada, awkwardly.
"... So," agreed George, although the nation had not actually been asking a question, or even making a statement which really needed agreement at all. Still, it filled the air, and that was what counted.
Not that it made the situation any less awkward, of course. Canada fidgeted slightly and glanced out the window, where people were still shouting angrily outside the building, then sighed as another barrage of shoes thudded against the window. He wondered if the people outside were ever going to realize that the shoes were not nearly heavy enough to break the window, and then sighed again, just for good measure.
George Bush didn't say anything this time, which was just as well, because it's not as though saying something would have made the two-hundred-some protesters outside stop with the footwear.
"... Well," said Canada, finally, massaging his temples with both hands, "I guess you'd better go talk to them. Not-- not them obviously, they'll throw stuff at you and that wouldn't exactly be the best situation to be in, but-- you know. The people who actually want to see you."
George Bush agreed, and gave a speech. We're not sure what exactly he said, but apparently he charmed the crowd with humour and insights, so that's a plus.
"Man, y'know," Canada said, after the no doubt charming and humourous speech, "I like you way better that you're not actually America's boss anymore. Isn't that weird?"
George Bush shrugged and said it made sense, and held his hand out. Canada shook his hand, and for a moment it seemed as though a deep wound was finally closing, and the sun could shine again on the world--
--then they both got nailed in the head with running shoes. Or rather, Canada got nailed in the head with a running shoe. George Bush dodged it.
