Any surprises here? (There's some mixed up names on the release. Sorry)

Special question -- Is Jeb Bush a possible candidate for the 2008 Presidential election?

Would you support him?

There's a rumor that he would VP with Romney. Do you believe it?

I think we've thought about Jeb before as a possibility. I'd want to know more than I do about him. As to the rumor, anything's possible at this point. People really seem to like Romney, I'm not sure I'm one of them.

Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Paul Pelosi.

Blech.

Of course Nan wouldn’t miss this opportunity, though she was too busy to meet with Patreaus.

I take it they are going to be having some kind of food tonight. I am using the grill at home and I cooked some T-bone steaks and jalapeno peppers. For the jalapeno peppers, I grilled them and then sliced them up and drizzled olive oil over them. I ate them with the steak. We also had broccoli and a salad of greens, pepitas (like pumpkin seeds), diced Gouda cheese and sliced hard-boiled egg with olive oil. I also had a $10.99 bottle of Rancho Zabaco Zinfandel to go with it.

Now I've switched over to margaritas made with Jose Cuervo. If the Queen and friends want to drop over, I reckon I can scare up another pitcher or two.

What a rip. For those of you that didn’t see the Derby, the jocky seems to be a real character. He sort of reminded me of popeye . He’s a cajun.

On the other hand, Hillary must be grinding her teeth that’s she’s not on it.

I believe it, and I think he with the best list wins. The Bushes have the best list, and they have tended it very well.

What? No Hillery? A lousy president she would be if she can't find the strings to pull to meet her Queen. (Then again they may be some unseen jealousy involved)

More likely, George Bush and Carl Rove tricked her, again.

Gets paid back for having to battle Rosie every day.

Notice no Harry Reid. That’s what you get when you call the President a liar.
