RNC blogging - Day 1, Part 14
Written by: Beck
For some reason, Sinatra's "New York, New York" is playing. I take that back. They're rebroadcasting an old Sinatra performance from a concert. You know, I never realized before how much Sinatra looks like Phil Hartman.
OK, so I don't have a hard time understanding the reason they're playing it, especially coming right after Giuliani's speech.
Since I would seem to have some time...
A great line
ripped from the pages of Captain's Quarters, in an interview with Ari Fleisher from Blogger corner (where I wish I were right now):
Q: What's President Bush like to work for?
A: I thought President Bush was the most uplifting, warm boss that you can ever imagine having. His pat on the back is as hard as his kick in the butt. You don't ever want to let him down, because he treats his staff so well, he is so good to be around. He has the greatest sense of humor, good nature, and when you're the President, you really want to work hard on someone's behalf because there's nothing more important. He's a wonderful man who works well.
I think that's why you see such longetivity among his top staff, which is unusual for the White House staff to work as long as they have. [unintelligible] You don't find that in a modern presidency any more. Karl Rove, Jan Bartlett, Scott McClelland, Judge Gonzalez, Harriet Myers, Josh Bolton. You don't find this much anymore in a presidency. It's a tribute to the person at the top. It doesn't matter what party you are, it's human nature. He's a wonderful boss and a wonderful man.
