Ladies like shoes and home decor and new hairdos:

From Bush's opening statement during his press conference:

I told Congresswoman Pelosi that I look forward to working with her and her colleagues to find common ground in the next two years. As the majority party in the House of Representatives, they recognize that in their new role they now have greater responsibilities. And in my first act of bipartisan outreach since the election, I shared with her the names of some Republican interior decorators who can help her pick out the new drapes in her new offices.

First act of bipartisanship. Nice.

White House transcript has that remark followed by:

(Laughter.)

There was no laughter. Only complete and utter silence.

Maybe as her first act of Democratic frugality of our tax dollars, Nancy Pelosi can pick out her own damn drapes.

except for his dig at Karl Rove's time being spent more on reading than the campaign

I wonder if this was really a "friendly joke" at all or if maybe Bush is REALLY pissed at Rove.

Of course women can't be trusted to do anything without the assistance of one or more paid Republican staffers.
