Yesterday on the Tonight Show
Yesterday on the Tonight Show, Jay Leno had as his guests former first lady Barbara Bush, and four-year-old Abby, a child who knows quite a lot about presidents. Leno admitted he thought it would be fun to have Abby interact with Ms. Bush, and so it was, since Abby is not only smart, but a happy, cute girl who has no problem interacting with strangers. There was a moment, however, that revealed more than anybody planned for. At some point in the interview, Ms. Bush asks Abby to give her a quote from President Bush."Which one?" Abby asked.
"Either one."
"Iâll give you a quote from your son: âI hear you, the rest of the world hears you, and the people who brought this buildings down, will hear all of us soon.â--George W. Bush" The audience cheered loudly, like the firefighters did that day.
I felt an spinal chill--not the cowardly one, the bloodthirsty one.
Ms. Bush had to look away to contain her tears.
