Wonkette walks us through Bush's rollicking laughs at a recent RTCA Dinner: He led by observing that Donald Rumsfeld's favorite show is "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," and then suggesting that the "Fab Five" give Ashcroft a makeover. Soooo funny! If you're not getting the joke, let me explain: See, in order for Ashcroft to be on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," Ashcroft would have to be straight. No, wait, that's not it. Oh, yes: The joke is this: When not out cornholing each other, gay people often have helpful fashion advice. And then there was his "White House Album" slide show, which included pictures of himself looking for those darn WMDs. . . in the White House! Oh, I nearly peed. There were slides of him searching! Under a chair? No. In a closet? No. Ha ha. Do I need to explain again? OK: It's funny because the WMDs are in Iraq, not in the White House, silly! Except they aren't. Wait. What was the joke again?
