And speaking of Mr. Bush, did you read or hear about the town hall-style meeting Bush held in Pennsylvania earlier this week? He tried to explain the "philosophy" behind his veto of the S-CHIP bill to fund children's health insurance.
His gibberish at this event is perhaps only slightly less astonishing then his belief that explaining what he thinks - or, as he says, how he makes his decisions - will change any minds about the value of what he actually does.

Come now Jessica. You could only hope that Blaine would speak of you with such eloquence and adoration. Our President's lovely words about our First Lady are quoted below. For example, she apparently "cares alot about women in Afghanistan" and about things like malaria and literacy. His acknowledgement that he's "sure proud to call her wife," was particularly touching. I suggest that you and Blaine pour over our leader's words for personal inspiration.
The very best,
Nick Straley
I'm sorry Laura is not with me. She's, by far, the better half of the Bush family. (Laughter.) And she's a -- she really is a remarkable woman. She -- when I married her she didn't like politics or politicians. (Laughter.) And now she's the First Lady of the United States. And she's come to realize what I understand: It doesn't take much to be able to put influence -- to influence somebody in a positive way. And so she -- she cares deeply about issues like malaria. She believes like I believe, that we can eliminate the scourge of malaria and save lives all around the world. She cares deeply about literacy. She cares deeply about making sure women have got good information to -- when it comes to healthy choices with their life so they don't suffer from heart ailment. She cares a lot about women in Afghanistan. She cares a lot because she's got a big heart, and I'm sure proud to call her "wife," and I think the country is lucky to have her as the First Lady. (Applause.)
