How many American lives, other than your own and your families, would you have been willing to sacrifice for the Iraqis? How many for the capture of Saddam?

Bush Mocks Kerry, Dean
Monday, Jan 26, 2004; 10:43 AM

Washington's season of zinger dinners started with a humdinger Saturday night, when some 550 all-star members of the Alfalfa Club gathered at the Capital Hilton.

Founded in 1913, the Alfalfa Club was named for the legume whose roots would "do anything for a drink" and has absolutely no other purpose than to throw a really big, exclusive, no-press-allowed party once a year where people from both political parties take amusing cracks at each other to show they're all friends.

David Montgomery in The Washington Post gathered a few tantalizing scraps, including quips from President Bush aimed at his two chief Democratic rivals.

" 'Boy, that speech in Iowa was something else,' Bush said, referring to Howard Dean's field holler after placing third in the caucuses Monday. 'Talk about shock and awe. Saddam Hussein felt so bad for Governor Dean that he offered him his hole.'

" 'Then we have Senator Kerry. I think Kerry's position on the war in Iraq is politically brilliant. In New Hampshire yesterday, he stated he had voted for the war, adding that he was strongly opposed to it.'
