Bolivian President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada, meets with President Bush in the Oval Office today. The President spent most of the day away from the cameras, so we have just a few pics. :-(
......in his eyes........
Reaching to a child.........
Now if you want pictures with Laura, I got a million!! :o)
Goodnight all
PS.... Play nice :-)
(That's a heckuva lot of love ;-)
We're coming into the time of year where death, sudden and otherwise, is even more painful than at other times. Two weeks before Thanksgiving - so very sad. I was thinking the same thing about the victims of the tornados - it just seems like there is more grief and sadness as we come into the season that should be the most joyous...
WHY WE LIKE DENNIS MILLER
Next time somebody you know starts complaining about ubiquitous knee-jerk liberalism and all-around imbecility in the entertainment industry, remind him that sweeping generalizations are usually wrong. . . .
Okay, don't do that. But definitely show your friend the following excerpts from comedian Dennis Miller's most recent appearance on Jay Leno's "Tonight Show." Nothing knee-jerk or imbecilic about it.
LENO: I'm fascinated to hear your take on the election. Because you always have a little different look at things than most Hollywood people.
MILLER: I want to congratulate my president. I think he had a great day. I think George Bush is a good man. [Applause.]
LENO: Yeah? He did a fine job.
MILLER: I think, I think he's a good man and I think he's done a fine job in these last two years. I don't think he's a great man but I would prefer that our president would be a good man, because great men tend to believe they're great men and then they end up not being great men anymore. I like Bush because he seems like a regular decent guy. . . . But uh, I think the thing I like most about him is that he's not Clinton. I just think he's a decent guy. I mean, you know [applause]--I'm telling ya when I watch those, the videotape of the retarded kids playing tee-ball on the White House lawn, on the field that he built for them.
LENO: Yeah.
MILLER: And I juxtapose it with Clinton and the wocka-wocka porno guitar of the Clinton administration. I just like Bush; he makes me proud to be an American again. He's just a decent guy. . . . Listen, I began to go off liberal America when they insisted to me that Rudy Giuliani was a bad guy. You remember that years ago? How they told us Rudy Giuliani, they always like tinged on the Nazi reference.
LENO: Right, right, yeah right.
MILLER: "He's a storm-trooper! He's a bad guy!" Every time I'd go to New York it was cleaner and safer and I'd think, "Wait a second, how bad a guy can this guy be?" And now you don't hear anybody saying that because it's been proven out that Rudy Giuliani is a good man. . . .
It's not a perfect world. Listen, I think Bush's old man could have ended this whole dilemma in the Middle East around 12 years ago. We were like two exits away on the Jersey Turnpike from croaking this toad and we back off because the coalition doesn't want us to go up the road. Are you kidding me? The coalition? This better not happen again. . . .We gotta assassinate Saddam Hussein. Why have we taken assassination off the table as a viable political tool? And yet they'll tell you the collateral damage of civilians is acceptable. But you're not allowed to assassinate the main pain in the ass. My theory is if you have trouble with your conscience, pretend you're trying to kill the guy next to him, and think of him as collateral damage, alright?! If that will allow you to get to bed at night. [Applause.] . . .
You know I find our approach to the war on terrorism to be amazingly nonchalant. I mean the simple fact is we are not being protective enough of ourselves. I think that was a mandate yesterday, saying, "Listen! We don't want these morons trying to croak us!" You know when the al Qaeda made a big mistake? It's when they whiffed that dog on videotape. That got the liberals into it. Because they're all sitting at home with their Marmaduke day-planner saying, "Wait a second? They croaked a puppy?"
