SOME CORRESPONDING THOUGHTS

There may never be a white house correspondence dinner to match the 2006 classic engineered by Stephen Colbert. Nonetheless, the 2008 edition (Mr. Bush's last) featured his own unique brand of, heh heh, humor. He attempted to play the political pundit and talked about all the 3 major candidates for his office. He mentioned John McCain not being there, allowing that Mr. McCain wanted to distance himself from him, he noted Hillary Clinton's absence by saying that she couldn't get through the sniper fire, and said Barack Obama couldn't make it because he was at church. Mr. Bush's humor, alas, reminds us of what we've said at the Faux that complete sentences are frequently used in lieu of complete truths (case in point; the Bush administration). Here's how he may have more fully developed his humor with (dare we say it) a more Fauxvian flavor; Mr. McCain isn't here so I guess he wanted to distance himself from me, trying perhaps to get as far away from me as he was while serving/imprisoned in Vietnam, hey I was free from duty and everything else. Mrs. Clinton couldn't get through the sniper fire, its too bad my national guard unit from Alabama wasn't around to give her support. And Mr. Obama was at church and if there is one thing that my administration would never do, its use religion as any kind of refuge for political gain. We would then have rated our Presidents last performance a full 3 heh hehs.
