BUSH: CLAP ME OR NO EU SPEECH
Mar 8 2003
By Paul Gilfeather
GEORGE Bush pulled out of a speech to the European Parliament when MEPs wouldn't guarantee a standing ovation.
Senior White House officials said the President would only go to Strasbourg to talk about Iraq if he had a stage- managed welcome.
A source close to negotiations said last night: "President Bush agreed to a speech but insisted he get a standing ovation like at the State of the Union address.
"His people also insisted there were no protests, or heckling.

Someone might want to inform the little Napoleon wannabe that while the Supreme Court installed him as president of the United States, he doesn't hold the same power in other countries. Maybe that's why he conducts diplomacy by phone rather than in person. Well, that and the possibility of being arrested, I suppose.
