More lasts today …
This morning President & Mrs. Bush departed the White House for Camp David, Maryland, where they will spend their last weekend as the First Couple before Tuesday’s inauguration.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice gave her final press conference today at the State Department in Washington. She also met with Israel’s Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni. Dr. Rice’s last official act as Secretary of State was signing a memorandum with Foreign Minister Livni that will help prevent arms smuggling to terrorists in Gaza.
And today Press Secretary Dana Perino delivered the Administration’s final press briefing (Transcript). Dana took time to pay tribute to her predecessor Tony Snow and to all the members of the White House press staff. But one name was conspicuously absent from her remarks.
Q Dana, you mentioned Ari and Tony, but I don't think I heard you mention Scott. Was that a slight or was that -- was anything deliberate --Dana: No harm meant, I just didn't mention him.
What did you think of his comments [on MSNBC] last night?
Dana: I didn't bother watching them.
Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island
President George W. Bush salutes a U.S. Marine crew member of Marine One upon his return to the White House Sunday, Jan. 18, 2009 from Camp David, which marks President Bush's final return to the South Lawn of the White House aboard the Presidential helicopter as President.

Wow Kas, that’s quite an honor. Thank You!
Pray for W, America and Our Troops
They talked about the dog that brought President Bush to tears. A man that worked at the White House said the night before little Spotty was put down President Bush took her out to the South Lawn and sat down on the grass with her cradled in his arms for a long time. He choked up telling this story and I'm getting teary eyed typing this.
I am doing to miss him
Thank you
Man, time is short!...They both look terrific & hopefully they had a great week-end
I don't even want to think about what is going to happen to this country. On Fox News Sunday Pelosi hinted to Chris Wallace that she open to criminal probe of some Bush administration officials
EXCELLENT. Thank you.
The new daily dose ought to be prayer dose for the protection of America and her citizens and her constitution....
I thank you for posting this. I have often wondered about Spotty and the President. God bless President Bush - he is a lovely man.
Great comments Bray
Thanks snugs and Howdy! Hope you and your dad is doing well.
Pray for W, America and Our British Allies
Thanks dad is coming home tomorrow at about 11.00am.
Glad to hear that. Let him know he’s in our prayers.
Pray for W, America and snugs Father.
Gotta love that furry little face :-)
I echo your feelings, snugs and jonny, about Gretchen ... so, so awful.
And it’s my sincere hope that a “Sanity Island” monthly thread can begin in a reasonable amount of time.
