This story reminds me of the line about "keeping your friends close and your enemies closer."

Elizabeth has really fallen a peg, or two, from berating Scott McClellan to writing human interest fluff.

Great line from "The Godfather".

...This Busmiller reporterette has had nothing but contempt for the president...I've never read anything remotely positive written by her regarding Mr. Bush, from his candidacy until now. The bile continues to run. That line about the Purell...that's a brand new all-time low.

This kid sounds to me like one I would want my daughter to date. If she were younger.If she were single. OK, maybe my granddaughter. If she were older.
This young man sounds like he is very well rounded and smart with a good sense of humor and will go far. Remember the name you will probably be voting for him in the not too far distant future.

I would have an oil-drum full of it, now that Bubba is part of the family.

FWIW, the only people who can follow your link and read the story are those trapped in AOHe11.

And, FWIW, this was posted yesterday, straight from the International Herald Tribune under the title The helper who knows what Bush will do next.

FReepers wanting to read the story, and it is a neat story, can follow that link.
