U.S. President George W. Bush writes a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a Security Council meeting at the 2005 World Summit and 60th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York September 14, 2005. World leaders are exploring ways to revitalize the United Nations at a summit on Wednesday but their blueprint falls short of Secretary-General Kofi Annan's vision of freedom from want, persecution and war.

Anthony showed it to me this morning on Wonkette, but I copied the link from Atrios.
General J.C. Christian shares another of Bush's notes.
UPDATE: Discussing this matter with Hayley, I was struck by a question: Does the president ever use a public restroom concurrently with anyone else? That is, would the Secret Service just clear the place out for him? Perhaps other high officials would have the necessary security clearance to use the stall next to the president's? John Kerry mentioned people standing next to him at urinals in his infamous Daily Show appearance, so apparently a mere presidential candidate is still just another citizen when it comes to relieving himself.
(I did not scare quote "president" in the preceding paragraph because I was referring to presidents in general, rather than only Bush.)
