THE PRESIDENT: You're doing good, Sammie.

MS. BRIERY: I told you you'd have to cut me off.

THE PRESIDENT: I haven't cut you off yet. You and my mother go to the same hair-dye person. (Laughter.)

MS. BRIERY: President Bush, I'm a natural blonde.

THE PRESIDENT: Oh, yes.

MS. BRIERY: I'm just a natural blonde.

THE PRESIDENT: I couldn't help myself, sorry. (Laughter.) Do you want to say something? Good job.

5. This is unbelievable. And....whether you believe Astrology has any value

or not, our own Nancy Waterman, DU's Resident Astrologer has posted that Bush will become increasingly "out of touch" and his speech will relect this.

Reading this transcript, frankly he's "unhinged." Making a joke about hair color not being real is totally insulting and I don't know the age of the woman but it's a very sensitive thing for some folks of a certain age.

Plus the fact that he mentions Babs, the dragon lady, also says something really weird is going on here.

Nope...he's imploding. Plus his cutting people off and talking about terror and evil again.

I heard his speech on C-Span this a.m. and he was talking about "when your jobless you should just hug your neighbor because a little love goes a long way!" I almost fell off my stool. It's the same speech he's been giving since he stole the WH and he uses it for everything.

:crazy:

6. What a dick

Maybe he should ask Frist if he dyes his hair.

7. Here's an article on it

Bush compares a guest to his mother, but she is not amused

EL DORADO, Ark. (AP) - President Bush has a penchant for dishing out good-natured insults, and usually the victim laughs along. But Sammie Briery didn't seem much amused when Bush fired one at her Tuesday.

Bush was wrapping up a town hall-style appearance at South Arkansas Community College when he let the jest fly. It was a mother joke, a blonde joke and an insult all in one.

"You and my mother go to the same hair-dye person," Bush said to Briery, whose blondish bob bore little resemblance to Barbara Bush's shock of white hair.

The audience in the gymnasium laughed, and Briery smiled, but replied firmly: "President Bush, I'm a natural blonde."
