(She would get $1,500 back from the government, according to Bush.) Asked by reporters where the rich tax families were, the President said he represented them...

I told him that I didn't use to think so, but that lately I'd been having my doubts. "It's like being a waitress," our Frank said. "These artists depend on your royalties to live." Suddenly I felt like we were in the opening scene of "Reservoir Dogs" - and I was Mr. Pink...
