A day in the life of President Bush (photos) 12/14/04

TODAY'S HIGHLIGHT: GWB awarded the nation's highest civilian honor -- the Presidential Medal of Freedom -- Ambassador L. Paul "Jerry" Bremer, former CIA Director George Tenet, and retired U.S. Army General Tommy Franks.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: General Tommy Franks was raised in Midland, Texas -- nothing wrong with that. (Laughter.) I didn't know him then, but Laura and he went to the same high school. In those days, some people in Midland wondered about Tommy's future. It sounds familiar. (Laughter.) At a recent high school reunion, Tommy's old principal told the General, "You weren't the brightest bulb in the socket," to which the General replied, "Ain't this a great country?" (Laughter.) -- President George W. Bush, Presidential Medal of Freedom Ceremony, 12/14/04

Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island.

The President cracked some fine jokes, especially about Franks and Bremer.

I hope you have some pics of Bremer as well. I always thought he was pretty hot.

But there are a lot of cute Republican guys and gals.

Bremer seemed particularly moved (and isn't that a fine-looking officer in the background).

Because Tommy Franks is taller than the President, he had to stoop down a little so GWB could place the medal around his neck.

I like this one of our Dubya. He looks like a proud parent or brother.
