(at a book signing)

But there was one fellow unhappy to see me and a stack of paperbacks. He was dressed in a blazing orange Izod shirt and sporting a neatly trimmed beard. He approached the owner, got very close to her, and told her he was offended by my presence and couldn’t remain in the gallery because of my book. “Really, Berta!” he exclaimed and left in a slightly-controlled huff.
The punchline? He is George W. Bush’s interior decorator. Or so I was informed by others at the opening. For years, I was told, this fellow has helped bring a sense of style to Bush’s homes in Texas and the White House. To her credit, Walker seemed unperturbed about having alienated one of her customers.
Can it be that Bush has his own personal “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"? In any event, before he left, Bush’s I.D. said to one of the artists present that he has been retained for further work in the White House–for after the election. Is Bush getting a little cocky? Only his interior decorator knows for sure.
