Bush and Prince Abdullah's Love Affair

Thursday April 28, 2005
President Bush became the butt of many a joke this week after strolling hand in hand with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah at his Crawford ranch. The two shared a tender moment as they kissed, held hands, and discussed oil imports while walking through a field of bluebonnets.

Some jokesters wondered whether Bush had found the love of his life, while others speculated about whether he might be ready to retool his stance on gay marriage. Editorial cartoonists, meanwhile, had a field day, David Letterman offered up a list of the top 10 thoughts going through Bush's mind (#2: "What we need is a constiutional amendment to ban this"), while Jon Stewart quipped that the incident confirmed "the long standing rumor that the president is, in fact, queer for oil."
