WASHINGTON - President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and their wives have chosen mostly re-election battleground states for commencement speeches this spring while maintaining the tradition of addressing military schools.

Bush chose the U.S. Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs, Colo., for his annual service-academy commencement, on June 2. The motto of this year's graduating class: "Parati ad Bellum" - "ready for war."

The Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn., will get Cheney for a graduation speech on May 19.

The vice president will speak at Florida State University on May 1.

Supplementing the effort in Florida, where the 2000 election was decided, first lady Laura Bush gives a commencement speech May 1 at Miami-Dade College. Ballots in Miami-Dade County were at the heart of the state's re-count dispute....

4. Please..

Lynn Chaney was too stupid to leave an open phone line for Richard Clarke on 911.

Laura Bush was a librarian in a tiny town in Texas and she thinks she is an authority on schools.

Please!Let the door hit you Lynn and Laura.
You are both lost in the twilight zone and so are your husbands.

He can tell them all about SH's "Rape Rooms". I'm sure they can relate to that topic.

8. Let's all tell Lynne Cheney...
...how much we love her lesbian novels.

Ask her how she feels her husband "taking orders from" an anti-gay President, as Barney Frank put it.

9. looks like a fairly safe choice for Jr
They want to keep the amount of overripe fruit projected towards the podium at a minimum.
