Ridiculous

If you haven't seen it yet, check out this video of Bush trying to "escape" journalists in China.

Mr Bush answered a range of questions before one reporter said: "Respectfully, sir - you know we're always respectful - in your statement this morning with President Hu, you seemed a little off your game, you seemed to hurry through your statement. There was a lack of enthusiasm. Was something bothering you?"

The president answered: "Have you ever heard of jet lag? Well, good. That answers your question."

The reporter asked for a follow-up question but the president then thanked the attending journalists and said: "No you may not."
It could just be the narrow stream video link, but Bush's speech sounded slurred to me. I hope they show this on the TV news tonight. Bush is refusing to answer valid questions, so he deserves the ridicule.

UPDATE: Check out this latest Bushism from the trip:
I had constrictive conversation with Chinese President.
Slurred speech???
