What was the funny answer that W gave a few minutes ago? I missed it, but heard all the laughing.

[Spyder]

Yes - I missed the comments Bush gave that caused the laughs, too. Did you catch them?

Rec'd the below this a.m. via email. Wonder if there will a discussion on the mass migration to the north?

The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the illegal immigration.

The re-election of President Bush is prompting the exodus among left leaning citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray and agree with Bill O'Reilly.

Canadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, animal rights activists and Unitarians crossing their fields at night.

"I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn," said Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota.

The producer was cold, exhausted and hungry.

"He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken. When I said I didn't have any, he left. Didn't even get a chance to show him my screenplay."

In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences, but the liberals scaled them. So he tried installing speakers that blare Rush Limbaugh across the fields.

"Not real effective," he said. "The liberals still got through, and Rush annoyed the cows so much they wouldn't give milk."

Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals near the Canadian border, pack them into Volvo station wagons, drive them across the border and leave them to fend for themselves.

"A lot of these people are not prepared for rugged conditions," an Ontario border patrolman said. "I found one carload without a drop of drinking water. They did have a nice little Napa Valley cabernet though."

When liberals are caught, they're sent back across the border, often wailing loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumors have been circulating about the Bush administration establishing re-education camps in which liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer and watch NASCAR.

In the days since the election, liberals have turned to sometimes-ingenious ways of crossing the border.

Some have taken to posing as senior citizens on bus trips to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young vegans disguised in powdered wigs, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior-citizen passengers.

"If they can't identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we get suspicious about their age," an official said.

Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating an organic-broccoli shortage and renting all the good Susan Sarandon movies.

"I feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can't support them," an Ottawa resident said. "How many art history majors does one country need, eh?"

In an effort to ease tensions between the United States and Canada, Vice President Dick Cheney met with the Canadian ambassador and pledged that the administration would take steps to reassure liberals, a source close to Cheney said.

"We're going to have some Peter, Paul & Mary concerts. And we might put some endangered species on postage stamps. The president is determined to reach out."

I just clicked in, and President Bush looks great. Rested, tanned, and quick witted....as he thanked all the Canadians who waved at him today...those with five fingers! And to the reporter who asked about Canadian polls that show him unpopular, President Bush said, "America just had a poll". I love it when he's on fire like this. Killin em with kindness and good humor.

[bahblahbah]

They laughed when Bush said he was glad for the hospitality and he was happy to see all the people who waved at him....especially those using all 5 fingers.

[Republican Red]

President Bush got one of those "Why do people hate you" questions. The end of the President's answer included that he thought he had received a very warm welcome from the crowds in Canada. The people were waving with all five fingers.

[KevinDavis]

Shades of Ronald Reagan..

[OXENinFLA]

Ping.....

[Spyder]

LOL - that is good. Thanks!

[Ashamed Canadian]

The thing is, we've always been like that, our country's unity has always been tenuous at best because of the English west - French East balance.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Divorce the East and join us!

And to the reporter who asked about Canadian polls that show him unpopular, President Bush said, "America just had a poll".

Oh, that's RICH! He really said that? Good for The Boss!

He was refering to the 50-80 of us that came out to welcome him, and he enjoyed our welcome.

One thing that struck me was that in his introductory remarks, Prime Minister Martin did not say one complimentary word about President Bush or the U.S.A. President Bush, in stark contrast, effusively praised Martin and Canada (just as Pres. Bush always thanks and praises our allies.) What is wrong with P.M. Martin? Are Canadian leaders always this rude? Is it some sort of French thing? I mean really! It doesn't cost a dime to act like a gentleman. What gives here?
