Amazing the stir that taking a leak can cause, I guess when you are the President of the U.S. of A. anything you do can create a stir. This photo may be as fake as Brittnay’s boobs (Can she breastfeed her new baby with all that silicon in the way?) for all I know. Even if it is the real deal, why should we care?

W. is as human as anybody else and anybody that has to sit through a three hour meeting is going to need a piss break. It’s called human nature. If you don’t need to empty your bladder a few times a day, then maybe you should see a doctor.

The fact that this has become a major topic of discussion on the blogsphere simply shows how obsessed we are with the personal lives of famous or powerful people. When did it become so important for us to know every nuance in the lives of our leaders? Hell, Ike had a heart attack while he was in the White House and it took weeks before the nation knew about it. FDR was having sleepovers with his ‘secretary’ while JFK’s daddy was still building the family’s bootlegging fortune and it was never reported. It was bad form, but not the business of the general public.

The President had to piss. So what? Get over it and get on with your lives people. We have real work to do in this country. Why not try obsessing over that for a few days?
