>From Slate, by Jacob Weisberg:

"Where Bush shines is in less formal situations

after he's done with his speech--greeting

well-wishers and taking questions from

reporters. He has a hearty, disarming manner,

and expresses his enjoyment of the moment

with body language that is fluid and

comfortable. Grenades don't faze him a bit.

The comedian Al Franken, here on assignment

for George, gives him a chance to lose his

balance. "Governor, have you ever

manufactured crystal meth?" he asks Bush. "In

a bathtub or anything?" Bush, not thrown for a

second, cracks up. "Are you looking for

work?" Bush says, "I'm looking for a new

spokesperson."
