NINTENDO SAYS BUSH IS DUMB - KOIZUMI ROCKS OUT!

Did anyone not see this picture of Japan's Prime Minister Koizumi - he of the five fingered shuffle and the deep love of Elvis - visiting Graceland with President Bush and a couple of Presley spawn? Bush says he took Koizumi to Graceland to thank him for his unwavering support of the US. Koizumi says he went to Graceland to rock out - look at him go!

And, apparently, he even sang a few lines from the King, starting with "Wise men say/Only fools rush in..." a coded message? Subtle commentary on American foreign policy? And did he mean to exclude the rest of the line "But I can't help/Falling in love with you." ? Is Koizumi trying to say that the invasion of Iraq was because Bush is in love with Saddam Hussein and wanted him all for himself? Is the Iraq War really an affair of the heart?

We'll never really know for sure, but one thing we do know is that when Bush turned 60, Nintendo was there with its claws out. Their gift for the President of the United States? A Nintendo DS Lite and a copy of Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day. They suggest the President use it on Air Force One to train his brain.
