Bush'a little wistful'during annual dinner
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Bush poked fun at his potential successors Saturday night, expressing surprise that none of them were in the audience at the White House Correspondents' Association annual dinner.
Bush then referred to scandals that have dogged the campaigns of the two remaining Democratic candidates, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, in explaining their absence: "Hillary Clinton couldn't get in because of sniper fire and Senator Obama's at church."
"Senator McCain's not here," Bush said of GOP nominee-inwaiting John McCain. "He probably wanted to distance himself from me a little bit. You know, he's not alone. Jenna's moving out too."
During the ongoing campaign, Clinton mistakenly claimed to have landed under sniper fire in Bosnia as first lady. Obama's longtime Chicago pastor has been criticized for his negative comments about America.
The president admitted to being "a little wistful" in his final appearance at the dinner, showing video clips of his routines from previous years. He finished by conducting the U.S. Marine Band in a medley of patriotic marches.
Bush was followed by Craig Ferguson, the host of CBS "Late
Late Show."
The Scottish-born Ferguson found middle ground between the tepid impersonations of last year's entertainer, Rich Little, and the merciless satire that Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert delivered in 2006.
Ferguson, who became a U.S. citizen in February, asked Bush what he was going to do after leaving office, then suggested, "You could look for a job with more vacation time." The president has drawn criticism for the amount of time he has spent away from the White House during his presidency.
Vice President Dick Cheney, Ferguson said, "is already moving out of his residence. It takes longer than you think to pack up an entire dungeon."
The guest list for the dinner included plenty of VIPs from outside the Beltway: Actors Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, John Cusack, Pamela Anderson and Claire Danes, singers Ashlee Simpson and the Jonas Brothers and author Salman Rushdie were among the invitees. Washington's power elite was still well represented, with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff in attendance.

Rivelli, one of two recipients of the Deborah Orin Scholarship, during the annual dinner of the White House Correspondents' Association, Saturday, April 26, 2008, in Washington. When Rivelli was taking his picture with Bush, Bush quickly noticed how much taller Rivelli was and decided to gain a foot or two by standing on the chair.

CAMPUS McCollum Hall resident reportedly overdoses
A female resident of McCollum Hall reportedly overdosed on ecstasy early Sunday morning.
An ambulance evacuated the student, a Lee Summit, Mo., freshman, from McCollum Hall and took her to Lawrence Memorial Hospital at about 2:15 a.m. The KU Public Safety Office reported shortly after that the woman was in stable condition.
At 2 a.m., an unknown caller reported the medical emergency to the Public Safety Office. Two Public Safety Officers and an ambulance were dispatched to the scene. When the ambulance arrived, the woman voluntarily accepted medical care.
The resident told the officers she did not know what kind of pills she had taken or where the rest of the pills were. The unknown caller was the person who indicated that the woman had taken ecstasy.
She also refused to tell the officers whom she received the pills from. She said that information was not relevant, even though the officers told her they were not interested in making any arrests.
