she coughed after every comment made about Bush while he was down in that crowd of athletes,personally I was hoping she was choking on her own nasty little tongue.

Makes sense they would be Bush fans. To get to the level of being an Olympic athlete, you've got to believe in hard work, discipline, and dedication to get ahead. Those are NOT liberal attributes.

And from Palo Alto, CA, no less - home of Stanford University. Note: Mark Bingham once got in trouble for tackling the Stanford mascot (a tree) during a football game. :-)

And, BTW -- Would you believe it? I read that a Flight 93 hero, Mark Bingham -- according to his mom -- while he did not flaunt the fact he was gay, was very proud to be a member of: the GOP.

[bootless]

That's wonderful! The extremists try to mask the fact that there are both moderate and to-the-right members of each "protected group" ... and those people, I'm sure, don't WANT to be part of a protected group.

I already admired Mark - this is just icing.

... hard work, discipline, and dedication to get ahead. Those are NOT liberal attributes.

Boy, have you got that right. LOL

x42id's administration frustrated the Secret Service! I do believe the Bush Administration is a breath of fresh air for even the Secret Service, even in time of war.

Thanks for the ping, summer!

How many people can say that the most powerful man in the world talked on their cell phone?! LOL!!

OUR President continues to show the world how real and wonderful a man he is.

Praise God for this servant-leader!

(Take a look at the smile on this young athlete's face!)

Thanks for posting the photo! :)

***I wonder what kind of information they have on Clinton's family history?***

Hey, what a great idea! Maybe we could all chip in five dollars and send for Clinton's family tree. I suspect it then be fair use to publish it.

[cactmh]

How much does it cost. BTW, his tree probably doesn't have a fork in it.

[Lady In Blue]

Thanks very much,summer!

[mafree]

Thanks for the ping summer! Those athletes look absolutely thrilled to have W with them. Who wouldn't be? Loved the cell phone bit - too funny.

I've watched some of the coverage today and all the athletes mention meeting the President and what a thrill it was. He's awesome.

[summer]

GW with these upbeat athletes was a great tonic for the entire nation. :)!
