QUOTE OF THE DAY Linton Weeks Washington Post Staff Writer
The Presidident's jokes From the The Gridiron's Club Annual Dinner in Washington yesterday 11th March 2006
"Dick, I've got an approval rating of 38 percent and you shoot the only trial lawyer in the country who likes me.
"You know there are all these conspiracy theories that Dick runs the country . . . or Karl runs the country. Why aren't there any conspiracy theories that I run the country? Really ticks me off. The truth is that I do run the country . . . but Dick runs me and Lynne runs Dick. So actually Lynne runs the country. And Lynne, I think you're doin' a heckuva job. Although I have to say you dropped the ball big time on that Dubai deal."
And: "By the way, when Dick first heard my approval rating was 38 percent, he said, 'What's your secret?' "
"President Bush pointed out that the vice president's full name is Richard B. Cheney and the B. stands for bulls eye," he said to laughter from the hundreds of reporters and officials from the administration and Congress. The press, The President joked, blew the matter way out of proportion: "Good Lord, you'd thought he shot somebody or something."
