A friend, who is a lifelong Democrat....

   ....and hates Bush, sent me this today.

     The Pope is visiting Washington, D.C., and President Bush takes him
     out
     for an afternoon on the Potomac, cruising on the Presidential
     yacht, the
     Sequoia.
     They're admiring the sights when, all of a sudden, the Pope's
     hat (zucchetto) blows off his head and out into the water.
     Secret Service guys start to launch a boat, but President Bush
     waves them off, saying, 'Wait, wait. I'll take care of this. Don't
     worry.'
     Bush then steps off the yacht onto the surface of the water and
     walks out to the Holy Father's little hat, bends over, picks it up,
     and then walks back to the yacht and climbs aboard. He hands the
     hat to the Pope amid stunned silence.
     The next morning, the headlines all proclaim:
     'Bush Can't Swim!'

   Pretty indicative of the times, wouldn't you say?
