How did this one slip by me? On Sunday His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai came to Camp David to meet with Still-President Bush.

You might remember that Bush was in the UAE back in January, when he caused complete and utter havoc in Dubai (see George W Bush Public Holiday and The Aftermath of George W Bush).

Anyway, here's a photo of the two. It's always weird for me to see Sheikh Mo in Western clothes, not wearing his traditional dishdash robes. He's not nearly as regal when he's in a powder-blue sport jacket.


Oddly, Bush spent most of the weekend at his family's summer home in Kennebunkport, Maine - which is about an hour south of me right now.

If only he'd invited Sheikh Mo to the summer house! Granted, lobsters are haraam, but HH could have at least had a s'more ...

You know what, even when Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed went to Camp David he was just in a normal T-shirt and jeans..
