Bush ill at G8; Japan's Prime Minister cringes

President Bush came down with a case of the stomach flu at the G-8 summit.

The president was already dressed when he began feeling ill in the morning, White House counselor Dan Bartlett said. He said doctors are keeping an eye on him but that Bush's illness — whether a stomach virus, a light touch of food poisoning or something else — is "not serious."

He stayed in bed to try to rest and recuperate, missing the morning session of the summit being held here of eight industrialized democracies.

Something tells me that Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe went out of his way to avoid Bush today. No sense in family history repeating itself.
