[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: The Waaahhh!-nter Olympics (WAS Sarah Hughes - from my home town!)

[Kathryn]

Is it normal for o president to phone a gold medal winner? (I know I've heard about it before but I can't see Dubya as a figure skating fan somehow and it strikes me as odd)
Besides there was a US Helicopter crashed in the Philippines, he's still trying to hunt down Bin Laden, trying not to piss of the Chinese having upset the Koreans and scared the Japanese Stock Exchange, the embassy in India had just got film of a journalist being killed, and it's possible someone tried to attack the US embassy in Rome (I think) with cyanide,  ...... and the President's talking to a figure skater?!? Either he multitasks really well or your government has a problem with its priorities!
Seriously, there was an actual question in there somewhere on something. Not particularly (despite the sarcasm) trying to get at Bush, until you guys elect Josiah Bartlett as President I'm going to keep up my general dislike of all politicians.

If an advisor says to me "My liege, he is but one man. What can one man possibly do?", I will reply "This." and kill the advisor.

  Oh, you're AWFUL!  Dissing our ever-dignified Commander-in-Chief like 
  that...bless your heart! ;-) (I was about to bless pretzel 
  manufacturers, too, but methinks I better not.  Secret Service might 
  come knocking.  Ahem.)

  And I know there are folks out there thinking this already: Sarah 
  Hughes' comment is *undoubtedly* proof of the ignorance of American 
  youth about their government compared to their peers in the rest of 
  the world.  Just thought I'd put it out there first (she says with 
  tongue firmly in cheek...)
