CONGRATULATIONS PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH!!!!

Continuous coverage on C-SPAN. Spotty everywhere else.

I absolutely love Laura's gown. I just can't decide if I like this one more than the one 4 years ago.

This isn't a great pic of her dress from 4 years ago...but it sure is a great pic, isn't it?

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Awwww...they are so great!

[Peach]

Oh, kitkat. Hugs.

President at Patriot Ball.

[snarkytart]

Yeah I saw him too on LKL.
He is hyper but funny.

King asked him ,"Do ou like Georgetown?" and Pierce Bush responded by saying something like,"Yes I love it, and the ladies seem to be responding well".

LOL

I liked the red gown better. Laura always looks better in vibrant colors.

[mabelkitty]

Wrong color and cut for Barbara.
Jenna looks fantastic, as does Laura.

[alnick]

The First Lady's gown is gorgeous on her.

CSPAN seems to be missing all the balls the president is at. He's at a ball speaking, but I don't want to hear Bob Woodward flapping his gums on CNN, and Larry King has no common sense to STHU.

Sally Quinn is one of those stuck up blue bloods and the funny thing is, a true blue blood wouldn't speak badly about other people publicly.

I loved the way Jeb and Columba looked at each other while they were dancing.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Isn't it though? I love this music.

Laura lost a lot of weight. She's wearing a very unforgiving gown...and she looks fabulous!

[rwfromkansas]

Would be cool if he showed up to the FR ball, but he has 100 balls to go to as it is.

[gab1279]

Yep, to "cut a rug" is to be a very good, or enthusiatic, dancer as in you danced so well, you cut the rug! LOL

Ever heard "cutting a rusty"? That's another one, same thing. Like "Boy, he was really cutting a rusty out there"

Said often in these parts, but that one may be just an East Texas thang though! ;)

[Miss Behave]

Lovely Laura is BREATHTAKINGLY STUNNING.

[MKM1960]

I don't think she's liked anyone since Nancy Regan.

[rwfromkansas]

Man oh man...

[Peach]

Oh, wouldn't that just thrill Freepers to pieces? Andy Card talked to a freeper who volunteered for the Inaugural Committee and Card said some very good things about freepers!

[ride the whirlwind]

Yes, they looked really comfortable dancing with eachother despite the difference in height.
