PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: The President and First Lady attended Sunday morning church services at St. Johns, and were spending a quiet day at the White House.
TRANSCRIPT OF THE DAY: While I could not find an official transcript of the First Lady's remarks last night, I didi find the next best thing by cobbling together several news reports.
First Lady Laura Bush has stolen the show with a surprise comedy routine that teases her husband President George W Bush.
The performance at a dinner honouring award-winning journalists brought a standing ovation from the audience -- that included much of official Washington and a dash of Hollywood.
The president pretended to start a planned a speech last night at the 91st annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner, but was quickly "interrupted" by his wife in an obviously planned ploy. "Not that old joke, not again," she said to the delight of the audience. "I've been attending these dinners for years and just quietly sitting there. I've got a few things I want to say for a change."
GWB sat down and Laura proceeded to note that he is "usually in bed by now," and said she told him recently, "If you really want to end tyranny in the world you're going to have to stay up later." She outlined a typical evening: "Nine o'clock, Mr. Excitement here is sound asleep and I'm watching Desperate Housewives." Comedic pause. "With Lynne Cheney." Comedic pause. "Ladies and gentlemen, I am a desperate housewife."
The First Lady went on to quip that one night she went out to Chippendales, a male strip bar, with Lynne Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and top Bush aide Karen Hughes.
"I wouldn't even mention it, except (Supreme Court Justices) Ruth Ginsberg and Sandra Day O'Connor saw us there," she said. "I won't tell you what happened. But Lynne's secret service code name is now 'dollar bill'."
Laura Bush also joked about the president's mother Barbara Bush. "People think she's a sweet grandmotherly aunt Bea type. She's actually more like (fictional Mafia capo) Don Corleone."
She said that her husband actually knew little about ranching when they bought their ranch in Crawford, Texas.
"I'm proud of George. He's learned a lot about ranching since that first year, when he tried to milk the horse. What's worse, it was a male horse," she said.
The president now often spends time at the ranch clearing brush and cutting trails. "George's answer to any problem at the ranch is to cut it down with a chainsaw. Which I think is why he and Cheney and Rumsfeld get along so well."
Boy do YOU fit in!!
Doing fine waiting for the toaster order
TURN THEM INTO TOAST!!!
It's 5:17pm here on the Pacific coast. Time for me to go get some dinner. Will return later.
See you later!
Smart move.
Cedric was upstaged by the First Lady's roast of her husband, and got off to a bit of a slow start. But his routine about Condi was one of the funniest comedy routines I have ever heard in my life. It was made all the funnier by seeing Condi laughing so hard she was about to fall out of her chair.
I'll bet she'll take ribbing about Connie and DeLeeza for a long, long time. It was probably all the funnier to her because there's more than a grain of truth in it.
Babs BoxoRocks got to see DeLeeza in the confirmation hearings, I think, and she'd better watch her step or she might see more.
Probably next month they are great crowd to be around I have known most of them for over 10 years now.
Hey Cowgirl! How are you?
Check out Condi's hair!! Is it up, or has she had a haircut? I LOVE her hair. In all the excitement, we fashion mavens forgot to even notice.
He is easily one of the funniest stand ups alive!
That is so great. I have lots of friends but not a GROUP of long standing. That must be so fun! Something to treasure...
Doing good, how are you?
Have a good meal give Ricky a pat from me.
No forgetting to notice! I just figured a change of pace for a night out and she put it up.
Condi is definitely a beautiful and classy lady, and always looks great! I should hate her for that, but I just can't! Speaking as someone who has absolutely zero fashion sense (me!)
Hello no time no speak I was getting a bit worried about you
