I don't know if you remember this, but recently I had the honor of -- and privilege of taking my friend, the Prime Minister of Japan, to Graceland -- Elvis's place. (Laughter.) I've never been to Graceland. I thought it would be fun to go, but more importantly, he wanted to go. See, he was an Elvis buff. (Laughter.) I also thought it would send an interesting message that I hope helps explain the stakes of this ideological struggle we're in. Can you imagine somebody after World War II saying, I predict one day an American President will be going to a singer's home with the Prime Minister of Japan? They'd have thought the guy was off his rocker. Isn't it interesting that a son of a Navy torpedo fighter who fought the Japanese with all his soul and all his might, like many of your relatives did, flew down on Air Force One with the Prime Minister of the former enemy? I think it is. And I think it's an historical lesson that we all can learn something about.

And by the way, when we were on the plane, guess what we talked about -- how we can work together to keep the peace. We talked about North Korea. We talked about what it meant for Japan to send a thousand troops into Iraq to help this young democracy fight off the ideologues of hate. We talked about our HIV/AIDS initiative in Africa. We talked about building roads in Afghanistan. I found it incredibly interesting that I was able to sit down with the Prime Minister of a former enemy and talk about the peace. Something happened between 41's time in the U.S. Navy and 43's time talking with the Prime Minister of Japan. Japan adopted a Japanese-style democracy.

1. Not Disneyland, he meant Dizz Knee Land

I just ran away from home
Now I'm going to dizz knee land
I just crashed my car again
Now I'm going to dizz knee land
I just robbed a grocery store
I'm going to dizz knee land
I just flipped off President George
I'm going to dizz knee land

I just tossed a fifth of gin
Now I'm going to dizz knee land
I just got cuffed a gin
Now I'm going to dizz knee land
Shot my gun into the night
I'm going to dizz knee land
I just saw a good man die
I'm going to dizz knee land

Hey

Kicked my ass out of school
Rolled me out into the street
Hitched a ride on a monkey's back
Headed west into the black

I'm going to dizz knee land

2. How about Jena going to Iraq

and fighting her daddy's war?

[Virginia Dare]

3. I doubt she'd ever be able to fit that into...

her busy social schedule. She's got too many bars to hop to with her posse.

4. gawd, he keeps repeating that same old Japan story over and over.

[sabra]

7. indeed

:puke:

[fooj]

8. You wonder why he doesn't question how his father was

the 41st President of the US when his grandfather was THROWN OUT OF THIS COUNTRY FOR TREASON. Now THAT'S something to ponder...

[petronius]

5. Someone better tell Jenna that they don't serve a lot of alcohol

at Disneyland. She'll need to bring a flask...

[longship]

6. I didn't know that the Iraqi PM liked to get wasted, falling-down drunk.

We need film.

9. …interesting.

Isn't it interesting he loves that word.

10. Tell Jenna they don't play beer pong at Disneyland.
