Who Did What for Memorial Day?
Non-specific threats of terrorist activity notwithstanding, most of us went to a ballgame,
did a little shopping, or fired up the barbeque last Monday.
What did our nation's political movers and shakers do to celebrate?
- Dick Cheney: Enjoyed private screening of "Saving Private Ryan" at an undisclosed location.
- Senator John McCain: Ate conscientious objector alive at Flagstaff VFW picnic.
- President Bush: Gave stirring speech about World War II to appreciative "Normandians" at
Omaha Beach, walked through cemetery with thoughtfully puckered face, avoided John McCain.
- Bob Hope: Inhaled, exhaled.
- Al Gore: Mugged vainly for cameras with rest of crowd at packed MTV Memorial Day Beach Party.
- Bill Clinton: Watched new "Girls Gone Wild" video while Hilary was at the parade, ate eleven
cheeseburgers at family cookout, then lay around the house belching and repeatedly saying, "Man, that was gooood."
