CNN published the speech of Laura Bush where she read the poem by her poet husband. The fact she read it shows her utter ignorance of what constitutes poetry and an inability to preceive what a buffoon she has for a husband. As you know, she just came back from a five day jaunt in Europe and the media made a big splash of Jacques Chirac kissing her hand.
Judge for yourself the quality of the literary achievement:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Oh, my lump in the bed,
How I've missed you.
Roses are redder,
Bluer am I,
Seeing you kissed by that charming Frnech guy.
The dogs and the cat, they missed you too,
Barney's still mad you dropped him,
He ate your shoe.
The distance, my dear, has been such a barrier,
Next time you want an adventure,
Just land on a carrier.
OK, you can stop laughing!

Whaddya mean, 'written books? The guy can hardly read!
The former ambassador, Joseph Wilson, whose wife was 'outed' as a CIA agent - not an analyst, but a 'spy' - by, according to Robert Novak, a conservative hack media whore, a "senior member of the administration", was on a PR talk show this morning. The dirty deed was done ostensibly because Wilson revealed that the alleged supply of 'yellow cake' uranium to Iraq was untrue and came out opposed to the war on the grounds that Iraq did not constitute a threat to anyone and had no links to terrorist activities. The interview was the best heard on radio for several months and put to rest the misinformation put out by the usual media hacks like Fox News. Wilson pointed out the revelation of his wife's undercover status is a criminal offense under a 1982 law, but that the offense does not concern him or his wife directly or personally since it is an offense against the nation's security. Wilson was appointed by the current Bozo Bush's father and Wilson began by saying he did not believe the current president was a party to the 'leak' to Novak. The latter was invited to the program but a spokesman said he has nothing to add to his newspaper column. Wilson said that the CIA had told Novak not to publish the leak, but he had done so and now says the CIA 'advise' was not strong' Wilson asked what part of 'No' he did not understand!
This administration is dripping with slime.
How many know that the recall of Davis in California is based on a suit taken out by Bustamente to recover $8 billion from Enron for the scam they ran on the state? That Arnold is a party to this having had a 'secret' meeting with Enron officials not more than 2 months ago was revealed only two days ago.

Aww, that "poem" would be quite sweet for a husband to write to a returning wife as a 'welcome home', but sickly schmaltz like that should definitely be kept private and not put into a speech! I suppose once Dubya leaves office, there might be an opening in the greetings card verse-writing business? <g>

Perhaps, but I cannot see Hallmark going for such poor 'versification', can you? Not that he would not be as good in that business as his other failures.

[:o)]I know a poet called George,
who writes poems that are ever so sweet,
he`s better at counting or so he tells us,
and if others count wrong he kicks up a fuss,
count again he shouts madly and make sure I come tops,
cause if you get it wrong I`m telling my Pops,
I want that house in Washington DC,
my Pop lived there once so now it has to belong to me.[  ]
I`m worse than him !!!! [ ][ ][ ][  ]

I was recently sent a list of beautiful 2 liners that Dubya might like to try on his wife, see what you think.
These are entries to a competition asking for a rhyme with the most
romantic first line but least romantic second line
Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss
but I only slept with you because I was pissed
I thought that I could love no other
Until, that is, I met your brother
Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you. But
the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty
and so is your head.
Of loving beauty you float with grace
If only you could hide your face
Kind, intelligent, loving and hot
This describes everything you are not
I want to feel your sweet embrace
But don't take that paper bag off of your face
I love your smile, your face, and your eyes-
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!
My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you screwed up my life
I see your face when I am dreaming
That's why I always wake up screaming
My love you take my breath away
What have you stepped in to smell this way
My feelings for you no words can tell
Except for maybe "go to hell"
What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime
