Stolen from Tim Bousquet's local mailing list:
Can't make this up. This is from Lloyd Grove's regular
column from the Washingtom Post, and if you don't
believe me see it for yourself at
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A45517-2002Mar6.html
It reads (toward the bottom):
"Here's a vignette we're dying to see on the ABC
broadcast of Sunday's Ford's Theatre Presidential
Gala: When Stevie Wonder sat down at the keyboard
center stage, President Bush in the front row got very
excited. He smiled and started waving at Wonder, who
understandably did not respond. After a moment Bush
realized his mistake and slowly dropped the errant
hand back to his lap. 'I know I shouldn't have,' a
witness told us yesterday, 'but I started laughing.'"
