There were plenty of reminders of why President Bush doesn't relish traveling abroad. In Moscow, the VIP terminal's red carpet turned out to be just a wide stripe of red paint on the Tarmac. In Jordan, all the King's men formed a wild motorcade, their vehicles nearly crashing into one another as they jostled for position trying to snap photos of the presidential limousine. In between were five other countries for a total of some 37,000 miles and 56 events...
...forever.When Will, one of my unemployed (amendment: he’s now employed as a Starbucks barista) ’06 roommates all but moved-in this fall, indefinitely, I knew I had to pursue this topic.

He is more than a mouthpiece; he's a one-man echo chamber, able to riff on the themes of the Bush presidency with...

The breast of his white lab coat was smothered in goodwill medals given to him by VIP guests. His accent was effeminate and Mississippian. He held the lowly title of medical support technician. But from behind the nurse's station, where he worked, everyone knew who was in charge...
