That stuff puts me to sleep.

I absolutely cannot wait to see him dance with Laura at the Inaugural Balls in 2005!

My husband and I were sitting in bed watching them in 2001, and we both said......these two people are fabulous! The new President looked like an ornery little boy at a dance class, and gorgeous Laura looked like she was completely smitten by him! I only wish I had it on tape!

"Dose, a dear, a female dear..."

Watching this again. There is something about this Bush dude that is so elequent, I can't explain.

I have been a professional speaker all my life and seen the best. But this President George W. Bush is the best I have ever seen.

Yeah, I remember Drew Carey. I loved what Dubya said about David Bloom saying his job wasn't important and that his family and Jesus were. You know, they say when someone's goin' they have a revelation towards the end. Now, nobody flame me, I hate religion threads. It just seems applicable in Bloom's untimely death.

"David Bloom - He was a perfect man to carry viewers along on the charge to Baghdad. He was tireless, completely focused and clearly did the work he loved. Natural sincerity. Saw some of the finest war coverage ever broadcast (applause). "Our last images of David Bloom capture a journalist in his prime. His own last email home tells us something else about this man who was about to turn 40.

He wrote to his wife in his final email, "Here I am, supposedly at the peak of professional success and I could frankly care less... In the scheme of things it matters little compared to my relationship with you, the girls and Jesus." POTUS: Michael Kelley and David Bloom "May God bless their souls." (long applause).

He wouldn't last a minute in mine. I toss and turn too much. It would be a flying pooch!

[azGOPgal]

I can't wait for it to come on in the West Coast. Let me know if they do Baghdad Bob skit.

Turn to SNL Akroyd will say what we all think:

[Maigrey]

Whew, I was worried. I mean, even the newbies know about the Dose!

Good memory re: the peep hole. That was funny.

[nicmarlo]

Please retract your insult to the pigs of the world. At least they're not pigs pretending to be something else...

[Maigrey]

Yep. I'm here now, caught up when it's all said and done.
I'm not in control of the remote, so DH is watching Space Cowboys on TNT.

I thought Condi Rice played the piano with Yo Yo Mas (sp) at some other event in D.C. He's a viola player or some other string instrument. Last year was Ozzie Osborne too. Remember he stood in his chair?
