At first I thought this might be an allusion to "Don't forget about Poland!"
"Lipstick, anyone?" might also serve as a subject line

I liked this, but there is one better for which I shall look.
>Lately, I have been asked what I will miss about the presidency. And my answer is that I will miss being the Commander-in-Chief of these brave warriors

This is it............
>Well, I'll miss being Commander-in-Chief. I have gotten to be -- grown to be so appreciative of our military. It's hard to believe that so many kids, and some not-so-kids, have volunteered to fight in a war. And I'll miss -- and it's going to sound strange to you -- I'll miss meeting with the families whose son or daughter have fallen in combat, because the meetings I've had with the families are so inspirational. They -- I mean, obviously, there's a lot of sadness, and we cry, and we hug, and we occasionally laugh. And we share -- I listen to stories. But the Comforter-in-Chief is always the comforted person.
Believe it or not, I'll miss going to the hospitals as the Commander-in-Chief, and looking a kid in the eye, and have him say, heal me up, Mr. President, I want to go back in. And so, there will be a lot of these special moments that we'll miss.

While I was surfing just now I found a brief blurb about him kissing two injured Marines today.I'm going to lie down now, Sigismund. If you don't hear from me tomorrow, don't send the "Comforter In Chief".

That is a great idea for a bumper sticker.
Someone could make a mint.

In Afghanistan...
"I must say, I'm a little envious," Bush said. "If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed."
"It must be exciting for you ... in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You're really making history, and thanks," Bush said.
Too bad the nearest thing to that available in his younger days was defending Texas from Oklahoma as a brave warrior in the Champagne Squadron... poor George, born too soon!

correction to previous: Bush was not in Afghanistan; he was doing a videoconference with soldiers who were in Afghanistan.

1. You left out his defending the honor of the female cheerleaders at Yale.
2. You also scared me when you say he was actually in Afghanistan.

With all these young democracies (Abkhazia, Moldova, Congo) on the block, there would be an endless frontier to go back into.
Yes, if only one was young again; what an adventure.

How hard it was to serve and how easy it is to kiss those who did and were horribly injured.
