DON'T WEAR BLUE

Recalling the big fashion faux pas of last week's presidential debate, when she and Mrs. Kerry both wore white, Mrs. Bush told Jay Leno during her guest spot on NBC's "The Tonight Show" that she and Mrs. Kerry probably have "a lot in common."

"We even chose to wear the same color suits (at last Thursday's debate)," she said. "So now I just want to announce today that I'll be wearing a blue suit Friday night."

She added of Sen. John Kerry's spouse: "I really do feel like we're members of a club. We're the only ones who know how it feels to have a husband running for president in 2004. I'm sure we have a lot to talk about."

Laura Bush's appearance on the Leno show, her third since her husband took office, marked a lighthearted interval in what has become an increasingly heated campaign.

"The Tonight Show" has become a frequent stop for presidential hopefuls and their surrogates eager for the exposure to the program's 6 million nightly viewers.

Asked by Leno about the president's scowling facial expressions during his first debate with Kerry, Mrs. Bush said she had not noticed it too much while watching the event up close as part of the live audience.

"You know, I didn't see that. I was in the very front row, and in person that didn't really show up that much," she said. "But I think he said this morning that anyone who listened to his opponent say that many things about him would have to make a face."

Leno quickly joked, "When you don't have botox, you can actually move your face."

Good points.

And I'm not restricted on whether I'm allowed to bring cheat sheets to our next "debate" so I'll continue to argue until she "gets it." -gg-
