Hey, Blog Guy - I’ve read that President Bush is a big fan of legendary songwriter Cole Porter. Is that true?
Yes. He even performed recently at an annual gathering of fans of the songwriter, “Friends of Cole,” though it was a bit embarrassing. Due to an unfortunate typo, Bush’s staff had brought along a huge banner with the songwriter’s name misspelled, as you can see in this photo.
Despite that mishap, Bush sang his Cole Porter favorites, like “I’ve Got My Eyes on You,” “Anything Goes,” After You, Who?” and “My Heart Belongs to Daddy.“

Friends with coal?! (gasp)So unrefined and, quite frankly, unbecoming of the President. His advisors should forge a relationship with coke. Much more pure and in line with his evangelical backers.
