Bush Hosts Annual Congressional Picnic

June 15, 2006, 8:52 PM EDT



WASHINGTON -- President Bush was the host of the annual congressional picnic Thursday at the White House, but it was his chief of staff's band that came close to stealing the show.

"We got some interesting entertainment for you tonight," Bush told lawmakers and their families to the picnic, called "Rodeo on the South Lawn."

"We got some people who can play music and some people who think they can play music," the president said.

The Compassionates, Joshua Bolten's band, and the Second Amendments, a bipartisan congressional band, were the opening acts. The featured entertainment came from Riders in the Sky, professional musicians who played in fancy chaps and Western attire.

Bush had to find some way to celebrate hitting 2500 KIA.

They really think ol' W does things "the cowboy way"?

and no one stuffed the Little Emperor head first into the potato salad? A great opportunity missed. He looks like he spiked the pickle juice and then drank it. Ugh.

edit-some day I will remember to run the spell check first...

mariachi music...however, concertinizing with mariach music must have fallen by the wayside now that mejicanos are the enemy and have to be kept on the other side of the wall.
