Bush’s twice-slain vampire

On June 11, after the Dracula bill had been slain but the evil ones were seeking to revive it again, President Bush, during a visit to Bulgaria, which is not far from Transylvania, was asked about the bill’s prospects and answered: “I believe we can get it done. I’ll see you at the bill signing.”

I entitled the blog entry, “Cocky Bush still on that aircraft carrier.”

On June 28, in Newport, Rhode Island, President Bush, according to the Washington Post,

looked uncharacteristically dejected as he approached the lectern, fiddling with papers as he talked and avoiding the sort of winking eye contact he often makes with reporters. And then President Bush did something he almost never does: He admitted defeat.

“A lot of us worked hard to see if we couldn’t find a common ground,” he said an hour after his immigration plan died on Capitol Hill. “It didn’t work.”
