Affairs of State update

"Are we in love or just friends?"



It's been a while since a camera caught Laura looking at him like that.

For those of you who haven't been to the grocery store lately, here's your tabloid update:

The Globe's latest front-page story on the Bush marital troubles says lawyers for the couple are putting the finishing touches on a $10-million divorce settlement. It reportedly (if that's not too strong a word) calls for Mrs. Bush to stick by her husband's side until six months after he leaves office, at which time she will get a divorce, a five-bedroom house along with a paid staff to run it, and a lot of cash.

Then, if fairy tales do come true, the Secretary of State will become NFL Commissioner, the president will become Baseball Commissioner, the first lady will run for the U.S. Senate, and they'll all live happily ever after.

Until one of them writes a book.
