Two recent gems from The New York Times:
First, from a story about the alleged President conversing with a woman from Venezuela while visiting Nebraska:
On a visit to the Juan Diego Center here, Bush met Lourdes Secola, who told him she came to the United States 25 years ago Wednesday from Venezuela to get an education and work in dentistry.
''I'm a little worried about your country,'' Bush said after listening to her story. ''I'm worried about it, a little worried about it. I think it'll be OK.''
But, he added: ''It's going to take awhile. Sometimes leaders show up who do a great disservice to the traditions and people of a country.''
Second, from a story on the failure in the U.S. Senate of a proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage:
''The Republican leadership is asking us to spend time writing bigotry into the Constitution,'' said Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, which legalized gay marriage in 2003. ''A vote for it is a vote against civil unions, against domestic partnership, against all other efforts for states to treat gays and lesbians fairly under the law.''
In response, [Utah Republican Senator] Hatch fumed: ''Does he really want to suggest that over half of the United States Senate is a crew of bigots?''
