Hot First Lady

bushes.jpgPresident Bush’s standard mention of wife Laura is now getting a new audience reaction.

“Laura sends her love,” Bush said in a Wednesday evening speech at a Republican National Committee gala in Washington. “She’s a fabulous first lady. She’s got to be the most patient woman in America.”

“She’s hot,” an audience member yelled, reprising a line used by the Bush impersonator who appeared recently with the president at the White House Correspondents Association dinner.

“Yes,” said Bush, reprising another line used by his impersonator. “Muy caliente.”

“I hope she’s not watching, you know,” he added.
