This Week In Pool Reports

Another slow week for the pool. President Bush has a quiet Easter Sunday, gives Shadegg a shout out and consults Bloomberg's Ed Chen on his speech. "Before leaving Yuma, the president met with the family of a fallen Marine. No other details provided. At the base before takeoff, Bush worked a fenceline of cheering, enthusiastic base personnel, most of them in camo. He shook hands and posed for pictures, his back drenched in sweat. Turning to head up the steps of the plane, Bush spotted Ed Chen of Bloomberg. 'Hey Ed, did you hear my speech?' Bush asked." -- Julie Mason, Houston Chronicle "After a left on Avenue E, your pool could see a huge Mexican flag waving in the wind. Past a prison (signs around it said: 'State Prison -- Do Not stop For Hitchhikers')." -- Joseph Curl, Washington Times "As the pool was led away, Bush yelled 'Shadegg, waddaya think?' The president then headed to the speech. There was virtually no one on the streets, and no one along the long stretches of desert highway. A group of about a dozen people, one waving a small U.S. flag, stood by Desert Valley mortuary. A few miles later, in a small field, a foal ran circles around his mother, who looked bemused." -- Curl "During the part of the service where congregants are encouraged to greet one another, POTUS strayed far from his seat to shake hands, and at one point looked over his shoulder by Graves is everyone else was back in place and said: 'I'm breaking the rules, I know.'" -- Michael Fletcher, Washington Post "Today is Day 64 -- the 64th day since POTUS announced his request for funds. And, he said, the Democratic leadership has spent 64 days passing legislation 'that would undercut our troops' because it contains 'arbitrary deadlines for withdrawal from Iraq.'" -- Linda Feldmann, The Christian Science Monitor "There were about 120 American Legion guests in the hall, many of them elderly vets from Korean War and World War II. Bush's 37-minute speech was followed by a standing ovation. After speech, Bush greeted audience members in front row." -- Feldman
