PRESIDENT BUSH'S WESTERN WHITE HOUSE STATEMENT PRAISING AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER JOHN HOWARD FOR HIS STEADFAST, IRON-WILLED SUBMISSIVENESS
Statement by the President
THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. Today, I'm real proud to be welcoming Australian Prime Minister John Howard and his frumpazoid wife whatsherface here to the Western White House. This is a special place for me and Laura – a place where we can get away from all that stress and hard work in the other White House – usually for month-long stretches when we feel like a break from our weekly three-day weekends at Camp David. Why, did you know that since I've been President, we've spent almost nine whole months kickin' it vacation-style here on the ranch? Well it's true. And I'm mighty pleased that Prime Minister Howard was amenable to having our little ho-down here instead of Washington DC. As if he really had a choice in the matter.
The White House, May 4 2003
