laughter, the best medicine

After an uproarious morning of clever hijinks, including Scottie McClellan cracking wise about wearing his orange tie in case Dick Cheney shows up, and Jebbie "I'm HUSKY, dammit" Bush affixing an orange sticker on his chest with a similar punch line, and of course, our president yukking it up with a Texas football team, we can only imagine how amused Mr. Whittington must be.

Of course, the "mild heart attack" that he suffered this morning, leading to a heart catheterization to try to remove one of those harmless "pellets" from his cardiac chambers is only a minor setback, and as long as he keeps his good Republican sense of humor, everything will be hunky-dory.

I guess it will be a knee-slapping few more days in the ICU.
