The meetings with Powell and Armitage had nothing to do with their possible futures in the Bush administration, officials said. Bush jogged with about 30 military personnel, mostly Marines, on his ranch at midday Tuesday. They waited until early afternoon to allow temperatures to reach their forecast high of 102 degrees.

That allowed the Marines to earn a coveted spot in Bush's "100-degree club."

You gotta love this man's sense of humor, don't you?

They WAITED until afternoon, so it was over 100?? Gee......I wonder why the press hates to go to Crawford?? :o)

He has a few more days to induct others into the club before a cool front moves in.....

Thanks for the Bush humor "Ping", oWf!

"...wonder why the press hates to go
to Crawford".

Yes, it's beastly hot in Texas now. I
do know they also despise Crawford for
its small town, "isolated", Americana,
Texana, non-liberal, Mayberry USA-and-
Jimmy Stewart-like, dull-ly ordinary
AMBIANCE.

Not disagreeing with your reason, just
adding another one.

And I love this stuff he pulls on the
press. Marines & 100-degree heat for
his run, INDEED!

Haha! I was just telling Deport on another thread tha right now it's 111 degrees about 15 miles out of Crawford where I sit under a ceiling fan with the AC running full blast. I saw some of the press corps in a restaurant at lunch today and there was some major complaining going on about the heat. Poor babies.
