So while the rest of us plebes idled in our taxis on the West Side Highway yesterday, wondering whatthefuck the hold up was: George W. Bush, our great and powerful leader (for now) was in town at the Intrepid, honoring soldiers and anyone who got their hands on a sailor outfit during Fleet Week. Said W., "The truth of the matter is, I will miss being the commander-in-chief of such a fabulous group of men and women, those who wear the uniform of the United States military," because Bush still doesn't know the appropriate adjectives to commemorate important events.

Meanwhile, over at the Regency Hotel, a little birdie informed us that Mayor Bloomberg was having a pow-wow with a higher up from Israel, maybe something to do with those bank cuts Mike's paper reported on yesterday, or their standoff with Hamas at the Gaza strip, perhaps?

Guess who else was at the Regency? Emma Roberts of Nancy Drew fame, but more importantly daughter of Eric Roberts. She was there filming a promo for her upcoming Hotel for Dogs (exciting!).
