Bush humors journalists
WASHINGTON — Tell us, Mr. President, how have things changed since the last broadcasters' dinner?
BY ANN SANNER ASSOCIATED PRESS
"A year ago my approval rating was in the 30s, my nominee for the Supreme Court had just withdrawn, and my vice president had shot someone," President Bush said Wednesday night during the annual gathering.
"Ah," he said, "those were the good ol' days."
In keeping with the lighthearted traditions of the Radio and Television Correspondents' Association dinner, Bush poked fun at himself and a few others in remarks that drew laughter and applause at the Washington
Hilton Hotel.
Noting that Vice President Dick Cheney was not in attendance, Bush said: "He's had a rough few weeks. To be honest, his feelings were kind of hurt. He said he was going on vacation to Afghanistan where people like him."
On the controversy over the Justice Department's firing of eight federal prosecutors, Bush said: "I have to admit we really blew the way we let these attorneys go. You know you've batched it when people sympathize with lawyers."
Cheney's recent trip to Afghanistan was marked by a bombing near where he was meeting with officials.
Acknowledging House Speaker Nancy Pcelos, D-Calif, at the head
table, Bush said some had wondered how he'd get along with her. "Some say she's bossy, she's opinionated, she's not to be crossed," he said. "Hey, I get along with my mother."
"I'm thinking of something really fun and creative for mine," he said. "You know, maybe a pop-up book."
Looking ahead to life after leaving the White House, Bush said he might follow President Clinton's lead and produce a memoir.
Possible titles: "How W Got His Grove Back," "Who Moved My Presidency?" and "Tuesday with Cheney."
The black-tie dinner, the group's 63rd annual gathering of journalists, politicians and their guests.
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
HOROSCOPE
You'll get more done in the next day or two than you have the whole previous month. Don't take off on a side trip; concentrate on the task at hand.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Today is an 8
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 5
A dear friend would like to provide comfort, a generous thought indeed. Do not be talked into spending a lot for something you don't even want. Take the kind thought. Don't go shopping.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 6
You'd love to be out playing with friends, but you have to clean your room. The specifics may be different, but that's the general idea. The good news is you'll end up with more than you would have had otherwise, a clean room.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 7
More caution is advised now.
Don't go overboard with innovations. You're just about to have a reality check. Proceed with caution.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 6
Choose your words carefully,
the same way you spend your
money. You will have to go shopping soon, and great caution is required.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 7
You're more assertive and dynamic now, which could cause controversy. You're not in the mood to just go along when you disagree. You won't be intimidated, either.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 5
Old memories are stirred, raising new questions. Before you wander off to ask them, remember to do what you promised.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is an 8
Get other people to talking and catch up on all the news. You can share some of your latest ideas, but don't expect to get funding.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is an 8
If you truly enjoy what you're doing, you'll easily make the cut. You can't fake your attitude and, in this situation, you won't have to try.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19) Today is a 7
As you look back on your old limitations, some of them look pretty puny. One of them still has some merit, however. Don't make a big mistake again.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18) Today is a 7
One thing you shouldn't delegate is the counting of the money. This may be interfering with your creative processes, but that's OK. Whether you have a lot or a little, it's best for you to keep track.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is an 8
Follow through with as much energy and enthusiasm as you can muster. Soon, reinforcements will arrive, and you'll be able to relax. Don't go limp yet.
