Bush Flies over New Orleans

Air Force One carrying President Bush flew low over New Orleans today while bringing the President back two days early from his vacation. The president was observed to have his face pressed hard against the window as the plane flew over the devastasted area, and was heard to comment 'Man.... look how we're leaving a wake in the water. That's really cool.' Upon arrival in Washington, he promised to fly back to the city soon, noting in passing that as primary user of Air Force One, he is not affected by the current surge in oil prices. "What the heck", he said, grinning, "I might just flog it back to Crawford just to see if I left my toothbrush there."
