I don’t know… Dubya never seemed like an orgy kind of guy… he seemed like a “treat everyone like one of the fellas” kind of guys. He far too often came off as a deer in headlights type to me, like he was just saying what he was told to say.

But the look of horror on her face is utterly priceless.

I wonder if it exists in gif form?

Edited to add: Also, when did you become a leader, dear leader! :wink:
