“Double Date” with the Bushes
There was one pleasant interlude during that stressful week: On Wednesday, September 24, President and Laura Bush invited Francie and me to join them for a private dinner at the White House. Once again, the president took care to ensure that the dinner was known in Washington circles. The Washington Post referred to this as our “double date.”
Francie and I went up the elevator in the East Wing to the family’s private quarters, and when the elevator door slid open, the Bushes were there with hands extended.
The president was informally dressed in slacks and a dark blue sport shirt; Mrs. Bush was a little more formal in a suit and high heels. They were relaxed and soon so were we. One immediate bond was the Bushes’ pets, Spot the Brittany spaniel; Barney, the black Scottie; and the even blacker cat, India. The pets milled underfoot with charming ill discipline, which gave the residence the feel of a well-loved family home.
The president drew me over to a yellow couch at the end of the room and we talked intently about Iraq as Francie and Mrs. Bush discussed books. At least I supposed that’s what they were talking about because both are passionate readers, and, it turns out, both read in bed. I learned that the president and I end our days with almost identical words: “Please! Put your book down and turn out the damn light.”

first kissed, our tongues doing battle.
danced cheek to cheek to a Tony Bennett song.
marveled at Jeff Gannon laying naked.
Bremmer is now covering his ass and trying to sell his book. What a shit. "We didn't expect an insurgency." P. Bremmer

7. How about a delusional failure? |

If you read between the lines:
"Barney hiked his leg and aggressively urinated on my pants, while India vomited a huge hairball into my martini. The President, on his third martini, confided in me that Iraq bored him, and that he would much rather talk about his next vacation. Laura and the wife chatted about how bad their men were in the sack, and how thank god, they could escape in erotic books at night to make their lives "bear"able."
Hi Bot! Hope you are having a nice evening. :hi:

8. BTW...not saying this to you Cocoa...but to Newsweak... |

Realized my post sounded like I was blowing off the post. I just get so tired of MSNBC/Newsweek shilling for the Bushies. And, this Bremmer book looks like barf although the quotes were funny...
No offense taken, I hope. :hi:
