President targets Cheney for laughs at dinner

WASHINGTON - President Bush headlined the annual Gridiron Club political press roast Saturday night, but Vice President Dick Cheney was the main target of the humor.

Cheney’s well-publicized Texas hunting accident last month drew ridicule from the press corps and all the speakers, including the president.

Bush pointed out that the vice president’s full name is Richard B. Cheney.

B. stands for bulls eye,” Bush said to laughter from the hundreds of reporters and officials from the administration and Congress. The press, Bush joked, blew the matter way out of proportion: “Good Lord, you’d thought he shot somebody or something.”

8. Bush* is good at standup comedy, especially roasts.

He loves putting down other people to make himself feel better, and he's mean enough (something he picked up from Babs) to carry it off with verve. He seems to be able to do it without his usual flubs of vernacular.
