This boring party

Weirdly, it is the birthday of Dubya, the Dalai Lama, and Nancy Reagan.

Bush also told the Times not to look for him in a pleated tartan skirt.

Queen Elizabeth in 2003 held a dinner in Bush's honor, and Bush recalled that an old friend of his father's, Scottish investment banker Billy Gammell, turned up for the event in a kilt.

"The queen gave a beautiful dinner for us at Buckingham Palace, and Gammell showed up in his kilt. And I said, 'Look buddy, you can wear your kilt, but I'm not going to wear one, if that's all right,' " Bush said.

UPDATE: On a birthday ride around the summit site today, Bush crashed his bicycle into a security man guarding him and other world leaders.
