The more I watch Bush on TV these days, the lighter my heart becomes.
By Annie Lamott Section: Media
I thought Bush had hit his high water mark last week when he held the press conference to show the world his "snowflake babies," i.e. the children who were adopted when they were frozen embroyos. He just seemed mad as a hatter that day, like Brigette, the French spokewoman for the Clone Baby company a couple of years ago. But he was peerless today -- arrogant, clueness, stupid. My heart soared like an eagle, which is probably politically incorrect, but it is also the truth. You could see exactly what Jim Hightower meant when he said that Bush was like someone born on 3rd base, who thinks he's hit a triple. It was mesmerizing to watch him lie and mispronounce words; I couldn't take my eyes off him: it was cobra-hypnosis.
