Exactly. My thinking is- MadMood wants to make a BIG display of trying to "dialogue" with the president...but doesn't REALLY want the chance to get into it...so he's doing a set-up to make himself look 1) willing to "talk" and 2) a man of principle and religion.
On the other hand...it would be interesting to know how many events he attended in Cuba this week where alcohol WAS served... :)
AHmanutjob is terrified he will come face to face with GWB who is at least a foot taller and who will give him the Texas Look.
