Washington D.C.- The Secretary of State, Colin Powell, was embarrassed by President Bush today when Bush read a private note originally intended for Attorney General John Ashcroft. " 'Hey John,' “ Bush read from the note in front of the rest of the cabinet. " 'Do you think that Condi [Condoleeza Rice] would go out with me?' And look, there's a little 'Check Yes, Check No' ballot down here," Bush continued by turning around the paper and pointing at the crudely drawn boxes at the bottom of the paper. Secretary of the Interior, Gale Norton, pointed at the paper and announced, "Look, he dots his 'i's with little hearts!" The cabinet and the President continued laughing as Powell blushed and slumped down in his seat his arms crossed. Rice was unavailable for comment due to her currently being interviewed by CNN in New York.
