This Week In Pool Reports

With the president and the press corps in Crawford, TX, the pool reports were rare this week. "Moments later, Bush approached a machine called a 'press brake.' (Insert pun here.) This 112-ton machine is used to shape, bend and mold materials. (Pun is optional here). Bush took a turn. He placed a piece of metal on the platform, and successfully bent it into a 90-degree angle. 'This goes to show you can teach an old dog new tricks,' Bush said to the pool and assembled employees." -- Peter Wallsten, Los Angeles Times "President, clad in a dark suit, strode over to a small group of Waco area merchants and officials whose lives are affected every time the WH entourage descends to the city on the Brazos. There were some familiar faces to Waco/Crawford regulars in the press corps: Ken and Bruce from the Crawford PD, Katie from Katie's Custard, and Monica from the Hilton Bush shook hands, posed for pics, and climbed aboard." -- Wallsten "Looking at the curly-haired photographer Charles Ommanney, Bush then added playfully: 'People down here don't appreciate furry haircuts like that.'" -- Wallsten "The fundraiser took place in Oneida in what felt like one of Karl Rove's favorite neighborhoods -- exurban style -- with new McMansion-style homes situated close to each other with well-manicured lawns." -- Wallsten "Snow then brought Karl Rove to the press cabin, who clarified the report yesterday that he had called Joe Lieberman on Tuesday. 'I called him. He's a personal friend, and I called him,' Rove said. 'I called him the afternoon of -- Tuesday afternoon, 5 o'clock thereabout, and wished him well in his election that night.' Asked to characterize the call, he added: 'It was a personal call. Look, Harry Reid's been at my house for dinner. So I actually do have friendships on the other side of the aisle.'" -- Wallsten
