Sit still, will ya?

Who says wire writers can’t have humour in their pieces. Here is the AP dissing Bush for not being able to sit still for a few minutes and listen:

Bush smiled and nodded - then nodded some more - as Estonian Prime Minister Andrus Ansip enthusiastically explained how his government holds paperless Cabinet meetings.

The system, which uses digital signatures, permits legislation to be OK’d with the click of a mouse.

Ansip’s explanation, though, was not as lickety split. He described in detail how the dozen members of the Cabinet - in a room dubbed the “Starship Enterprise” - can vote or make comments online. Cabinet meetings that used last about four to five hours now wrap up in about 30 minutes.

Bush endured the lengthy explanation, shifting his weight back and forth. (…) AP
