BUSH NOT ENTIRELY SATANIC
Currency Lad—lately posting some wonderful mini-essays; do visit—locates a rare pro-Bush item from the BBC, by correspondent Justin Webb:
I was hearing the other day about a woman who went to the White House Christmas drinks party.
You are allowed to bring a friend and the two of you get to pose for a 10-second photo-op (they call it a “grip and grin”) with the leader of the free world.
But this woman had no friends available that evening and queued up to see him alone. When her turn came she explained to the president, “I couldn’t get a date.”
With a charm and wit worthy of Ronald Reagan he pulled her close and asked - mock earnestly - “Nothing I’ve done I hope?”
That Reagan comparison isn’t sarcastic. Read the whole thing.
