Decision ‘08

Good To See The President Can Still Laugh At Himself…

…after all he’s been through. From this year’s Radio and Television Correspondents’ Dinner:

“A year ago my approval rating was in the 30s, my nominee for the Supreme Court had just withdrawn, and my vice president had shot someone,” President Bush said Wednesday night during the annual gathering.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.

Bush thanked the organization for providing dinner, “and I’d like to thank Sen. Webb for providing security.”

Nothing like last year’s blogswarm over the Stephen Colbert appearance, though…
