He's plucked by a professional, don't you know

"Janette! Janette! The asians have, have blown up a bomb!"
"Which asians, John?"
"You know, the bad ones. The ones next to China that wanna pick a fight with George."
"Oh."
"I'm going to make a statement, Janette."
"Now, John. Perhaps you should talk to some people before you run off and do that."
"No! No, this is my day! My day! George is sleeping. It's my time to tell the world something!"
"Well OK, dear, but don't smile. It doesn't look nice when you smile announcing this kind of thing."

Well at least he will sleep soundly tonight after his moment in the spotlight as the deputy in Asia. I don't think I can assume the Japanese PM or his citizens will be doing the same.
