Top Cutlines

1. ELOISE: I'm here to lei you, sir.
MR. BUSH: I'm afraid you got the wrong president, ma'am.
ELOISE: No, sir, I'm here to welcome you. No one else volunteered.
MR. BUSH: Oh, that's right. I read you're from the Freedom Corpse. Funny, you don't look Iraqi.
ELOISE: It's the Corps, sir.
MR. BUSH: I know, it's at the core of the insurgency. They wanna get their freedom.
ELOISE (blank stare, walks away) -- JohnA.

2. Eloise: "Do you know where you are, Mr. President?"
George: "Huh? Why, uh..."
Eloise: "That's right, sir!" -- Family Phil.

3. President Bush, embarrassed that he'd been lei'd once, was even more shocked when he was lei'd the second time, by someone resembling his mother no less -- keithincda.
