SEA OF GALILEE, Israel -- Immersed for two days in the intense and arcane world of Mideast peacemaking, President Bush looked relieved Friday to see something of the landscape that all the fighting is about. Obviously moved, he even giggled, too. . .

. . .After touring the Mount of Beatitudes, overlooking banana groves, a grinning Bush held hands with two elderly nuns, laughing with them and posing for pictures with their digital camera. A larger group of nuns later gave Bush a crystal statue inscribed with words from the fabled Sermon on the Mount, recounted in Matthew Chapter 5: "Blessed are those who are peacemakers for they will be called children of God." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/11/AR2008011102319.html

Grinnin' and gigglin'. I'm just surprised Bush didn't melt and have his eyes popped out like that dude from Raiders of the Lost Ark when he put his hands on a statue that said, "Blessed are those who are peacemakers. . ."

the places that he's touched.

"Fool on the Hill".

and start thinking that they are Jesus. Now that would be funny.
