President Bush is Fun At Parties

The thing you have to love about President Bush is that he has insisted on having a good time as President, despite the state of the country. You have to give him that. At no time has he allowed actual problems to interfere with his clear intention to have a good-time on his turn at POTUS. You can see that he is having a good time. He wants you to see it. Credit for him. He has nailed it. I like that about him. I really do.
