The Miller family went to a minor-league baseball game last night, so we missed the president’s speech. Saw a few clips on the late-night news, though. My wife had a great comment about Bush flying the plane: “Bill Clinton never could have done that.” She’s right, of course. (You’re always right, honey.) With Clinton, it would have been one of those Dukakis-in-a-tank moments. GWB in a flight suit? Looked perfectly natural.
