And finally: President Bush "kept up his tradition of informal relations" with world leaders by casually summoning Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, "a rather stiff and shy figure." Footage of a G8 lunch "showed Bush talking to Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua and saying 'Yo Harper! The president of Nigeria,'" Reuters notes. At a 2006 summit, "Bush landed ally Tony Blair in some trouble by calling out 'Yo Blair!'"
Hey, Prime Minister Harper was summoned to the Cool Kids' Table! Canada's in the news in the U.S.!!
But wait--is being treated like Tony Blair a promotion for "Steve"?
