[edit] Why does this exist?
Uh, who cares? Why can't this be merged into G8? Shadow1 16:22, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
I listened to the transcrpit and he clearly (to me at least) said Yeah blair and not yo. I am an american raised in Los Angeles. I also cannot tell the diffrence between caught/cot,(los angeles is part of the 40% which merged these vowels) but i am pretty sure that is not relevant here.

[edit] Blair vs Rice
What is probably the most important aspect of the incident is missing from the article: Blair begging Bush to send him and sort out the "shit", and Bush telling him to stay put because Condie was already going to handle it. 83.67.217.254 23:49, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Why does this exist?
Why do we need a whole article about a greeting Bush used? JIP | Talk 08:36, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Because its significance, in Britain at least, was much wider. There is also some interesting etymological stuff. LymeRegis 23:00, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Misquote
I've changed this article to state that its misquote. There was a BBC radio programme http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/mainframe.shtml?http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio4_aod.shtml?radio4/afternoon_reading about this misquote. Video sites can lead you to plenty video references to the actual video where he clearly says "Yeah Blair" --Z o l t a r 10:11, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] the language report (sic)
Susie Dent's the langauge report (Oxford, 2007), which post-dates this article by at least year, appears to draw quite heavily on it: at least its references, including to the Sunday Times and Private Eye. IXIA (talk) 07:47, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
