YO: Did you catch this display by George and Laura?
http://kutv.com/video/?id=25253%40kutv.dayport.com
I don't speak for Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, but I'd like to
say, in advance of the showing, how much I appreciate the White House having this video shot for the American people. It's obviously been done so that Jon and Stephen can have some really great material for their Comedy Central programs tonight. I would imagine that Keith Olbermann will
have a clip or two of the frolic, as well on MSNBC's "Countdown."
Karl Rove, you've done it again!
OY!

It so reminded me of that clip of the drunk Yeltsin dancing on a stage with some band, just a little slower.

I didn't think it was possible to be more embarrassed for my country than I already was.

A little off topic, but maybe not: "Tell Laura I love her..." quote:
Tell Laura I Love Her
By Nancy Greggs
Well, don't I feel like damned fool. Ever since the start of the war in Iraq, I have been praying for those who have lost sons, daughters, spouses, brothers, best friends, hoping that they can somehow find a moment of respite from their grief.
And all along, it was you, Laura, and your husband who were the most grief-stricken of all. “No one suffers more than their president and I do when we watch this, and certainly the commander in chief, who has asked our military to go into harm's way.”
There, there, Laura; if only you had spoken up sooner, instead of hiding your heartbreak behind that well-coiffed, well-groomed, well-clothed façade, we might have been able to help you cope with your pain – which, as you have now pointed out, surpasses that of any other American.
What Fantasy Island ghetto do these people live in, anyway?

Filthy, that post is sarcasm. Read on.quote:
We lowly peons probably can't begin to appreciate the anguish you live with, day in and day out, as soldiers die for lack of the body armor and other life-saving equipment your husband denied them. How excruciating it must be to see young men and women cut down in the prime of life, all based on your husband's lies. How horrifying to hear about hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis, especially the children, knowing that none of this ever had to happen were it not for your husband's deceit, his arrogance, his abject stupidity.
It must prey on your mind, Laura; as you watch your daughters, safe and sound, making fools of themselves in public, as you listen to your husband's drunken, meandering speeches about a victory we all know will never come, as you socialize with the war-profiteers who are stuffing their pockets while wounded soldiers are denied basic medical care and suitable disability pensions.
You've been Landover Baptized!

Dear B'gal, I am well aware of the  . These days, it is all that keeps us sane. The ghetto of which I speak is the one voluntarily inhabited by George & Laura.

But of course! What better way to get people to think, which, to my immense satisfaction, you did...
