Found this out the other day. Big cats scare me. Tigers normally don't like the flavor of humans either; however, some Tigers are abnormal.

Of course George W. Bush said nice things to Bill Clinton. It was a nice, happy event for the 42nd president, welcoming him and his portrait to the people's house. What did people expect Bush to say?
"Look at him — a red-nosed satyr, a godless fleshy sack of appetites and vanities, his very blood clotted with the money he so assiduously condemned while seeking the votes of his peers. And now he comes again to the building he turned into a brothel, to bask in our regard! Perhaps it is too much to point out that this painting, being of two dimensions, has one more than the man it depicts? Fie, I say! Fie!"

[xsmommy]

No, Bush gave a nice speech, warmly received, full of charm. Sure, some wanted him to leap over the podium and plant a stake in Clinton's heart — or, at the very least, to hose him down with holy water until he ran shrieking from the building. But that's so 2000.
