You're up early, and I'm up late...Now laughing so hard I probably can't go to sleep.... Isn't this the guy that is losing some of the cards upstairs? It surely sounds like some of the issues we've had to deal with with his Mom and mine... They can't remember whatever it is, and are just SURE that someone else "took it" or "Spent it" or Lost it, or whatever...and sometimes, they weren't nice about it either.
I'll bet Laura just keeps George in line...she's wonderful, and while a funny lady, as well as a gracious lady, I suspect she has a velvet glove that she applies every once in a while.
Edit: The Washington Times had some of the same as the article I posted, but added a bit more: (They also noted some of the Libs like David Korn were miffed about it being "risque'...." Actually they are just jealous that Hillary wasn't liked as well as Laura...not even close!
>>>>The first lady joked about her in-laws and their Maine retreat. "Kennebunkport ... is like Crawford, but without the nightlife," Mrs. Bush said. "People ask me what it's like to be up there with the whole Bush clan. Let me put it this way: First prize -- three-day vacation with the Bush family. Second prize -- 10 days."
She joked about her husband's proclivity to spend his vacation days at their Texas ranch clearing brush: "Or, as the girls call it, the Texas chainsaw massacre. George's answer to any problem at the ranch is to cut it down with a chainsaw -- which I think is why he and Cheney and Rumsfeld get along so well."
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, sitting at a Washington Times table, doubled over in laughter.
She even zinged the vice president, who has had four heart attacks. "It's always very interesting to see how the ranch air invigorates people when they come down from Washington. Recently, when Vice President Cheney was down, he got up early one morning, he put on his hiking boots, and he went on a brisk 20- to 30-foot walk."
Mrs. Bush closed her act affectionately.
"In all seriousness, I do love the ranch, and I love the whole Bush family," she said at the end of her bit. "I was an only child, and when I married into the extended Bush clan, I got brothers and sisters and wonderful in-laws, all of whom opened their arms to me. And included in the package, I got this guy here." <<<< |
