Perhaps Bush simply forgot to read mudcat yesterday morning, and so he was in better humor than usual.

On the other hand, he might be more relaxed and open after winning the election. The fear of losing the second term, like his daddy did, might have been a huge pressure on the boy.

Bush now only has to worry about not being as intelligent as mudcat addicts who carefully write each of their slurs with consummate freshness, wit, and wisdom.
