From the “couldn’t make this up if we tried” department…
While the House of Representatives debated weighty matters of war and peace yesterday, President Bush headed to the YMCA.
In a brightly lighted basement gym, he visited children bending paperclips into different shapes and urged Americans to volunteer as mentors. He talked not of armies in Iraq but of “armies of compassion” at home. Even the kids seemed confused. One asked why he came. “I came to see you,” the president responded. As the cameras clicked away, a 7-year-old boy made peace signs.
President Bush’s response?
“Put your hands down.”
As if that wasn’t classic enough, the Washington Post provides photographic proof…

Bush does it again! A new “classic”
