GRAPEVINE, Page 13PRESIDENTIAL UPCHUCK SCORECARD
By JANICE CASTRO/Reported by Wendy Cole
Winners
BARBARA BUSH: For grace and good humor that defused a
frightening situation. Anyone who doubted that the President was
all right was immediately reassured by Mrs. Bush's decision to
stay at the dinner when he had to leave.
KIICHI MIYAZAWA: For cradling the President's head as Bush
vomited on him and later dismissing the incident as absolutely
"normal."
PRESIDENT BUSH: For his quip on the floor: "Why don't you
just roll me under the table and let me sleep it off?"
U.S. TRADE BALANCE: After that, the Japanese delegation
could hardly let him go home with nothing.
CHICKEN SOUP: Goes down easy when you're queasy.
Losers
JAPANESE HANDLERS: For panicking and manhandling the
press, creating a false sense of crisis.
CNN HEADLINE NEWS: For coming within a nanosecond of
swallowing a phony report that Bush had died; to his credit, a
CNN worker threw caution to the winds, shouting "No! Stop!
Stop!" in the newsroom as anchor Don Harrison began to announce
the "tragic news involving President Bush."
PRESIDENT BUSH: How'd you like to have millions -- maybe
billions -- see you tossing your diplomatic cookies?
DOUBLES WITH THE EMPEROR: Next time, take a rain check.
JAPANESE RESTAURANTS: Everyone's first thought: It was
that sushi, wasn't it?
