Bush quote on Katharine Armstrong- Aug 22,2005 NYTimes

[TomInTib]

We may be getting somewhere.

''I'm going to have lunch with Secretary of State Rice, talk a little business; Mrs. Bush, talk a little business; we've got a friend from South Texas here, named Katharine Armstrong; take a little nap. I'm reading an Elmore Leonard book right now, knock off a little Elmore Leonard this afternoon; go fishing with my man, Barney; a light dinner and head to the ballgame. I get to bed about 9:30 p.m., wake up about 5 a.m. So it's a perfect day.''
-- President George W. Bush, as quoted in the Aug. 22, 2005, New York Times


Sounds like Barney Fife


What kind of access does Armstrong enjoy? Well, you already know about her "face time" -- oops, poor choice of words -- hunting with the vice president at her family's other ranch in South Texas.

In November, Armstrong attended the official White House state dinner for Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, and she was also on the list of overnight guests who visited the Bush family at either the White House or Camp David. That's a lot more than Hannukah rope-line access.

One footnote. The reason for the Bush quote at the top? It was because of the woman he would not see while he was hanging around with friend -- and lobbyist -- Katharine Armstrong: Iraq war mother and protestor Cindy Sheehan.

1. Avoid going off your property and seeing all us protestors.

2. there is no way he could read an Elmore Leonard novel

number one he could never understand one and number two, Elmore Leonard can not stand him. Can you imagine him reading the novel of someone who loathes him?

5. Elmore Leonard--he has some short Western stories-my brother has

a few of them but i have not picked them up.
