Let them eat souffle
I couldn't resist the obvious line to M. Antoinette's "Let them eat cake."
Dubya's admitting he was eating a souffle when he found out Bin Laden
was dead was pure SNL.

The souffle is so emblematic of the Bush era...a lot of hot air rising so much
unsubstantial filling and then falling flat when served.

So appropriate for some in the rich class in this country who earn their money
the old fashioned way...lying, cheating, hiding profits and hired for speaking
tours when speaking isn't their first language or necessarily the truth.

GW Bush should be in the Hague or Gitmo awaiting trial.
Intelligence was what finally got Bin Laden, along with some soldiering at the end.
Bush instead, spent trillions of dollars and wasted thousands of
lives unnecessarily in his two endless bombing and troops on the ground wars.

Bin Laden's dead...way overdue and not such a big factor in this country's
current dire straights.
Now let's finally investigate why those two towers came down so quickly to dust...that's the real
reason thousands died.

1. He learned his lesson ordering quiche

Bush and Cheney are at a restaurant for lunch. The waitress comes over and asks what they will be having. Bush says, "I'll have a quickie." The waitress steps back in disgust and says, "Mr. President, I thought that kind of piggish behavior went out with the last administration!" She storms off and Dubya looks confused. Cheney shakes his head at the president and says, "Boy, it's pronounced QUICHE."

4. remember that Richard Perle is an expert at souffle making
He once had plans to open a souffle restaurant in Provence.

If you google "souffle" and "Richard Perle" you'll turn up many many references to his expertise with the souffle.

5. Don't knock souffles: they're a good recession dish
I sometimes make a spinach and cheese souffle (from the good ol' Julia Child Mastering the Art of French Cooking) for a light supper: just four eggs and a bit of spinach and parmesan, and you can amazingly feed two to three people a delightful meal for a few bucks, with a little salad and french bread on the side.

Bush's restaurant souffle was probably expensive however: they get to charge a lot because people don't know that they are quite simple dishes to prepare.
