Politics & Government - 3 December 2006

Pres. Bush asked Senator elect James Webb how his son was faring in Iraq. Webb responded that he "wants my G.I. son home soon".
Bush retorted that:
......."I didn't ask you that; I asked you how he was doing."

I can imagine Bush saying that, with a smile on his face, eyes blinking furtively.
Had it been me, I would have turned the question around. I'd have smiled and said to him ..."ah well Mr. President. I think the better question is....how are YOU doing, if you know what I mean"...and then I'd have smiled at him, eyes blinking furtively.......

I think so.

"History I believe furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance, of which their political as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purpose. " – Thomas Jefferson to Baron von Humboldt, 1813

http://www.wonderfulatheistsofcfl.org/Quotes.htm

Since the neo-conservatism movement clearly promotes religion in government, you can take "priest-ridden" and replace it with "neo-con."

FYI, though, Jefferson was a Deist, not an atheist.

I know of course that if a man is President of the United States, his wife is called the First Lady. If Hilary Clinton, or any other woman for that matter, were to become President what would her husband be called?
