Comics hit gusher: George of Arabia
http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/304055p-260075c.html

President Bush can forget about getting any mercy from Washington wags at Saturday's White House Correspondents Dinner - not after the setup he gave every comic and Democrat by strolling hand in hand on Monday with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah.

Jay Leno, who has emceed the dinner in the past, jumped on the tender scene at Bush's Texas ranch by offering "Tonight" viewers a spoof on those Las Vegas tourism commercials showing how Sin City reawakens a couple's romance. The punchline: "What happens in Crawford stays in Crawford."

Footage of the Bush-Abdullah air-kisses prompted Bill Maher to think of Michael Jackson.

"Bush is with the Saudis like Michael Jackson is with 12-year-olds," Maher told us. "He just doesn't care how it looks....He's just like, 'It's charming. We're just having milk and cookies!'"

...more...

due to copyright, I couldn't get all of them - the last one had me :rofl:

1. Funny thing - Al Franken's statement is actually a talking point
Air America host Al Franken observed, "People are saying a Saudi thing. But I think it might be more of a Prince Abdullah thing."

This is actually a talking point to cover the hand holding from the repukes.
