Bush and Splash Day -
XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX TUE APRIL 26, 2005 10:25:52 ET XXXXX

BUSH ASKS ABOUT 'SPLASH DAY'

President Bush raised eyebrows on Tuesday when he asked locals in Galveston, Texas: "Do you still have Splash Day?"

"Splash Day" is the annual "adult oriented enormous beach party" celebration on the Gulf Coast.

BUSH: Do you still have Splash Day?

(LAUGHTER)

BUSH: You have to be a baby boomer to know what I'm talking about.

(LAUGHTER)

BUSH: I'm not saying whether I came or not on Splash Day. I'm just saying, Do you have Splash Day?

(LAUGHTER)

Bush was unaware "Splash Day" is now a fully gay and lesbian event on the beaches.

1. Reminiscences of Splash Day....
This article gives some historical background on Galveston; Ray Hill, Houston Gay/Prison Activist, recounts fond memories.

www.outsmartmagazine.com/issue/i07-00/history.html

The "old" Splash Day wasn't exclusively gay, but was generally considered a giant, drunken mess.

14. "I'm not saying whether I came or not on Splash Day"

22. Bush cant remember coming on Splash day
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/04/26/AR2005042601063.html

Drawing another round of laughter, Bush said: "I'm not saying whether I came or not on Splash Day. I'm just saying, 'Do you have Splash Day?'"

26. I'm surprised Drudge mentioned it.
Drudge probably thought it amusing and yet he still won't report anything on Gannon. I'll bet there are pics of those two floating around somewhere.
