John,

Funny:
Breck Girl Takes On Dr. No
By MAUREEN DOWD


Agreed, maybe she is regaining her lost sense of humor. I stopped reading her after numerous humorless articles that she intended to to be humorous.

"Ordinarily, the John-John ticket might seem a bit off-putting — a little too glib, a little too ingratiating, a little too forced, a little too expedient, a little too eager to please. But when the competition is two oilmen who don't seem to want to please anybody but Halliburton and the Saudis — ask Pat Leahy, Old Europe and the 9/11 panel — overeagerness is a relief."

"President Bush should have easily knocked a question about Mr. Edwards — nicknamed the Breck Girl by Bush officials — out of the park. But he whiffed. Steve Holland of Reuters noted that Senator Edwards was being described "as charming, engaging, a nimble campaigner, a populist and even sexy. How does he stack up against Dick Cheney?"

W. should have given a sly smile and drawled, "You mean you don't find Vice sexy?" Instead, he looked irritated and spit out his answer: "Dick Cheney can be president." <font color=red>Indeed, he already is.<font color=black>"


She's a bit catty but I like her irreverent attitude! ;~)
