Niec gathering of war criminals and cat killers
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/2chambers/2011/03/george_w_bush_dick_cheney_visi.html
<snip>
Former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) was in the Capitol on Wednesday for the unveiling of his official portrait. Former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney were also on hand for the event. Below is our pool report on the gathering, which took place in the Old Senate Chamber, the room where the Senate used to meet from 1810 to 1859 but which is now used mostly for ceremonial events:

Scores of current and former senators, aides and administration officials - including former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney -- filled the Old Senate Chamber shortly after 3:30 p.m. Wednesday for the unveiling of the portrait of former Sen. Bill Frist (R-Tenn.), who served as majority leader from 2003 until his retirement in 2007.

Bush took to the podium next, greeted by a standing ovation as he began his four-minute remarks. "It takes a really good friend to get me to come back to Washington," he said to laughter. "I am thrilled to be here. Laura sends her love to Karen and Bill. ... I'm proud to be here with Senator Reid and Senator McConnell. They represent the present. And I represent the past," Bush said, to more laughs.

Addressing Frist, Bush said, "I can assure you, Bill, that we are delighted to be here to watch you hang," drawing another round of laughter from the crowd. He praised Frist's tenure as majority leader. "I really admired the fact that Bill served during tough times, but he left the Senate in a gentlemanly way," Bush said. "I appreciated the tone he set."
