New York has sure had it tough, My thoughts and prayers are with the people of New York and the families who lost loved ones today

Did you hear Nelson Mandela's statement? He called President Bush a "great leader" and said that we MUST NOT GIVE UP THE WAR!!! He was 100% in support of the war, and warned that if we withdraw, the terrorists will say that they defeated the United States of America, and then they would be back!

It was a wonderful statement, and a masterful bit of diplomacy which will make Chirac SHUT UP!!! Ha!!

Plus I noticed how helpful President Bush was to Mandela as he negotiated the stairs, as you can see in the pictures. No self-conciousness...just natural courtesy for the elderly, which I have noticed with him before. He is a good man, isn't he?

What an incredible day huh Bush/babes and Cheney/chicks? This shows on the face of President Bush again unfortunately. The day started out so surreal, like we were living through our national nightmare all over again.
My prayers go out to the loved ones of all of the victims on the flight and in the homes in NY. Who can even believe what they have had to go through there? God Bless them

Thank you rintense. Our President has the weight of the world on his shoulders.

I was born in New York, but we moved when I was 7 years old - have cousins who still live there - they are hearty people, but all these tragedies are starting to wear them down.

Guess all we can do is keep them all in our prayers.

Rin, thanks for the Ari pics! He's so cool under the wilting pressure of the WH press corps. Everytime I watch him I can't help but remember when that idiot x42 appointed Dee Dee Myers (egads!) as press sec'y. She was completely unprepared and had no background for it....just goes to show how little respect he had for the presidency. He just saw it as a big ole jobs program for his cronies. As GW said the other night, "Good Riddance"!

Hi Ritense and thanks a mil for the daily pics. I look forward to your post everyday.

Our guy looks a little tense today. No, he looks really PO'd! That's a good thing.

Thanks rintense. Where is Laura?

[Calpublican]

I love Ari's press conferences. He's so patient and also has a good sense of humor. Typical of a member of this administration.

Also, I think he's handsome. Wonder what he'd look like with a full head of hair. Does anyone have the capacity to give Ari a cyber-toupee, just for fun?

Heart warming as usual.
