- It is said, that, before September 11, George W. Bush
thought the Taliban were a Bavarian brass band. Now, thanks to his comprehensive
knowledge, the most powerful man in the world has gotten into hot water
again. This is a translation of the article in 5-19-02 issue of Der Spiegel...
-
- WASHINGTON - It was Condoleezza
Rice, national security advisor, who helped her boss out of the embarassing
situation. During a conversation between the two presidents, George W.
Bush, 55, (USA) and Fernando Henrique Cardoso, 71, (Brazil), Bush bewildered
his colleague with the question "Do you have blacks, too?"
-
- Rice, 47, noticing how astonished the Brazilian was,
saved the day by telling Bush "Mr. President, Brazil probably has
more blacks than the USA. Some say it's the country with the most blacks
outside Africa."
-
- Later, Brazilian president Cardoso said, regarding Latin
America, Bush was still in his "learning phase."
