Bush all praises for Pinoy chef
The Philippine Star
UNITED NATIONS (AP) US President George W. Bush had nothing but praises for the new Philippine-born White House chef when he ran into President Arroyo outside the UN General Assembly on Tuesday.
Bush asked Mrs. Arroyo if he had heard about Cristeta Comerford, who had been an assistant chef at the White House for 10 years and was chosen last month from hundreds of applicants to head the executive kitchen.
"Yes, we celebrated that because shes the most famous" Filipino chef, President Arroyo replied as they walked together, not knowing that their conversation was being picked up by UN microphones.
"Shes fantastic," Bush said of Comerford, who is a naturalized American.
Bush ran into Mrs. Arroyo after a nearly hour-long meeting with Secretary-General Kofi Annan that focused on global issues ranging from Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Afghanistan, Iran, Sudans conflict-wracked Darfur region and African peacekeeping missions. The presidents are here for the opening of a UN summit on Wednesday.
When Bush arrived at UN headquarters with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, he greeted Annan with a friendly gesture, putting his arms around the secretary-generals back. He then kissed Rice three times on the cheek.
"It was very friendly meeting," Annan told reporters afterwards at a press conference which focused on the last-minute agreement by member states on a document to be approved by world leaders at the three-day summit which starts Wednesday.
Annan added that the new US ambassador, John Belton, had been "very constructive" during the lengthy negotiations.
During their meeting, Bush expressed his support for the United Nations, according to a statement from the UN spokesman.
