Now that's what he calls bilateral

He's waggled his hips in Tbilisi. He's shaken his - um - shaker in Sao Paolo. He's drummed and swayed in the grounds of the White House. He's even had a stab at a Saudi sword dance. But yesterday, on the final leg of his trip to Africa, George Bush found a world leader with whom he could truly boogie.

Just look at the way he answers the president of Liberia, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf's call and hits the red carpet! Laura tries to keep up, but frankly, she's outclassed. Now his jacket's off. Wow!

The Liberian love-in was confirmed at the presidential mansion in Monrovia, where Johnson-Sirleaf invited her guests to drink "lustily" to the US, "our No1 partner". Eat your heart out, MC Rove.
