Chilean Update

I swear I'm not making this up, but Bush's first words to the Chilean President were:
"Ricardo, aqui esta el gringo."

For those who can't translate that, he said: "I'm an incompetent idiot."

First, there's this (yes, that's Putin on the right)



Second, there are these:

A Secret Service agent getting manhandled



Bush on the way right getting into the fracas


And third, there is this:

Plans for a state dinner for President Bush at Chile's presidential palace were scratched Sunday after the United States insisted on security measures that Chile called unacceptable.

The change came a day after Chilean security guards temporarily blocked one of Bush's Secret Service agents from entering an official dinner.

For the Sunday event, the Secret Service insisted all guests -- totaling more than 230 -- pass through a metal detector, a top level Chilean Foreign Ministry official told CNN. U.S. officials did not dispute this account.

President Ricardo Lagos believed the measure was humiliating for guests, the Chilean official said.
