Bush also doesn't strike me as a parcicularly nice fellow one would enjoy a meal with. I would be extremely surprised if many people havn't turned down such invitations. <strong>jb says</strong>: Please form an orderly queue. :) What a boost for one’s ego to be able to say “I turned down an invitation to a presidential meal”.

Good to see that not all are so easily wooed by proximity to power. Sad, however, to see the 'mouth-honour' of mere courtesy being placed above the need for honesty. <strong>jb says</strong>: Thanks, Dick. And I also think manners should take a back seat when dealing with the architects of Guantanamo. Fine words. Good to see that not all are so easily wooed by proximity to power.

Manners take a backseat to preening self-important narcissism. I'm sure all the right people chuckled and nodded their heads in appreciation when they read her tripe. Ms. Olds may perhaps be a talented writer, having never heard of her I cannot say for certain. But I am sure that her grasp on the niceties of common courtesy has become unhinged. <strong>jb says</strong>: Boorish is a good word, Chris. Did we see you on the television the other night, performing circus tricks for Mrs Palin? How utterly boorish.
