This is the caption for a photo of Laura Bush at the WH correspondents' association dinner:

At the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, President Bush and Ron Hutcheson, the group's president, appreciated Laura Bush's wit.

The only wit Laura has is dimwit, wit's end, and twit. You know it's a speechwriter-the Times admits as much later on. I think it's about time that we had a bill making speechwriting illegal for political campaigns, that way we could really get a read on who the candidates are. Think Bush would have gotten elected without speechwriters? No. Reagan? No. Nixon? Come on. I know there's a strong current of anti-intellectualism in this country, but if you don't trust someone smarter than you to run things by counter-definition you must be dumb. These are also the people who believe in god and religion, so it's a pretty contradictory stance.

Note: I'm not really serious about banning speechwriters.

Well, half serious :P
