Was Bush's Team Making Fun of Saudi King's Night Habits on the Eve of the Bush-Abdullah Meeting?

"... Again, I'm not sure -- but the exchange and comments from the "senior official" seem to undiplomatically poke fun at the Saudi King's late night habits.

Maybe this is just nothing, but if I were the Saudi King's chief-of-staff, I'd really want to know what the "senior administration official" was trying to telegraph with this exchange on the eve of an important meeting between President Bush and King Abdullah..."
