Bush takes "ill."

As he met with new French President Sarkozy in his room, I doubt this is anything more than politics, but the irony of this occurring the day after that first public picture of Bush drinking a beer (next) is just too good to pass up. Was it the antabuse?

A stomach ailment forced President Bush to miss some meetings at an international summit on Friday, but after resting in his room, he rejoined the gathering and prepared for talks in Poland on a missile defense system....

The president was already dressed when he began feeling ill in the morning, Bartlett said. The aide said Bush's illness was "probably more viral in nature" and did not appear to be the result of anything he ate.

Bush stayed in bed for several hours to rest and recuperate.
