Did anybody hear the CNN reporter at Baton Rouge |
|
report that the state officials practically had to invite themselves to Bush's visit to LA today? Said that they had to call Andrew Card to arrange to be with Bush. I just caught the end of it. Did anybody else hear the same thing?

10. I read that a few Representatives couldn't even get him on the phone |
