You bring the brains, I'll bring the guts

President Bush and French President Nicolas Sarkoszy had lunch yesterday at the Bush compound in Maine. Sarkoszy brought the brains. You don't believe it? Read for yourself:

Q Mr. President, could you say something in French?

PRESIDENT BUSH: No, I can't. I can barely speak English. (Laughter.)

Q Mr. President, what kind of lunch are you going to have?

PRESIDENT BUSH: We're going to give him a hamburger or hot dog, his choice. (Laughter.)

MRS. BUSH: A traditional family lunch --

Q Mustard or catsup?

PRESIDENT BUSH: It's up to him. We got it all laid out in there. He's got some baked beans, if he'd like some baked beans we've got that, as well.

MRS. BUSH: Native Maine corn.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Corn on the cob, real fresh this time of year.

MRS. BUSH: -- salad, fresh tomatoes.

PRESIDENT BUSH: If he feels like it, he can have him a piece of blueberry pie -- fresh blueberries up here in Maine.

Q Do you think he's bringing cheese?

PRESIDENT BUSH: I think he's bringing goodwill. He's bringing a good brain, good vision and goodwill.

I like that Barbara Bush is taking credit for the corn. She probably thinks her Mayflower ancestors gave it to the Indians.
