In an interview with a Mexican newspaper he said he did not have high hopes for the Bush meeting and said he wanted closer ties to Cuba, suggesting that it was too late for Bush to patch up nearly two terms' worth of disappointments beyond the vague hope of pushing a migration accord through Congress.
During an otherwise warm encounter, Guatemala's President, Oscar Berger, complained to his visitor about the arrest and deportation of hundreds of Guatemalan workers in raids in Massachusetts last week. Resentment at the hardships immigrants face as well as the war in Iraq prompted a Mayan tribe in Guatemala to perform a ritual cleansing at a site visited by Bush. Meanwhile in the capital, riot police used tear gas to quell protesters who threw eggs and stones and set fire to US flags.

But how does one hope to find all the sweaty Kleenex and chawin' tobaccy spit and spilt Gatorade and catsup stains and B-B-Q chicken bones? And think of all the leather dust and jacket fringes and scuff marks left by GW's Jackboots, to say nothing of the Secret Service's lost earpieces, broken Ray-Bans, and spent AAA batteries...
