 
Asked in an Oval Office interview with the German newspaper
Bild to name the "most wonderful moment" of his
presidency, President Bush came up with a fish story.
"I don't know, it's hard to characterize the great moments.
They've all been busy moments, by the way," Bush said,
apparently trawling his memory for good times since 2001.
"I would say the best moment was when I caught a 7 1/2-pound
largemouth bass on my lake," he said eventually.
It's reminiscent of a 2004 press conference when Bush was
asked to name his biggest mistake, and he couldn't come up
with any.
"He can't think of the worst mistakes or his best moments.
May be that's how he survives, " said Larry Sabato of the
University of Virginia Center for Politics, reported Daily
News. "I doubt his wife will be pleased," Sabato added. "If
he wasn't going to name some official moment, the least he
could have done was name some moment with Laura."
On a late Friday evening in New York, a Pakistani-American cabbie
picked up a passenger from the 42nd St and 8th Ave. The
passenger asked the dark skinned, short, underfed cabbie "Hey..where
r
u from..? He responded ..Pakistan, sir."
The passenger said "Hey you? Pakistan? Who
made an atom bomb?" The cabbie responded "Hey you.
American?, who use atom bombs? The passenger immediately demanded
the cabbie pull over his taxicab, hurriedly handed a $20 dollar bill
to him and jumped out without waiting to grab
his nine dollar change back.
 On the day Baghdad fell, a surreal
scene was unfolding thousands of miles away in the Gotham city aka the city that never
sleeps. A Pakistani-American cabbie picked up a heavily
drunk but apparently overjoyed passenger. "Where to
sir" asked the cabbie. The passenger responded "Take me to Baghdad". The uneducated probably
undocumented Pakistani American cabbie looked back at him
through his rear view mirror and said "Via Auschwitz Sir?"
The passenger immediately asked him to pull over. He
got off the taxicab, looked back and hurriedly walked away.
