WACO, Texas (AP) - After a six-month search, First Lady Laura Bush announced Sunday that the new head chef at the White House will be Cristeta Comerford - the first woman to take the top spot in the executive kitchen.

Comerford has been an assistant chef at the White House for 10 years, working under former executive chef Walter Scheib III, who resigned in February.

Mrs. Bush has been trying out applicants for the job in recent months, asking them to prepare test meals at special functions and private meals at the residence.

Comerford developed the menu for last month's honorary dinner for Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The 134 dinner guests dined on chilled asparagus soup and lemon creme; pan-roasted halibut, ginger-carrot butter, basmati rice with pistachio nuts and currants and herbed summer vegetables; and salad of Bibb lettuces and citrus vinaigrette.

1. it took her SIX MONTHS?

to hire the woman who had already been assistant chef for 10 YEARS? I mean, we're talking RIGHT UNDER HER NOSE??? Any chance Laura's cheap and just wanted to pay "assistant chef" salary as long as she could?

5. Actually I like Laura.

When she's not exspousing her husbands politics. When she does. I can't stand the sight ot sound of her. Otherwise she is a very charming and personable lady.

I just wish she would divorce George and go find someone with a brain and a heart.
