US President George W Bush on Wednesday expressed surprise at the need for a German translation of his comments to the press at a G8 summit being held at the Baltic coastal resort of Heiligendamm."Everybody speaks English, right?" Bush asked, after a German- language interpreter began to translate his brief statement to the press following talks with G8 summit host German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
A laughing Merkel asked the US leader to "be patient" and gestured for him to wait by her side while the interpreter did his job.
'Nuff said, nicht wahr?
