Laura Bush is a big hit for the one-liners she told at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner Saturday night. some pretty funny stuff from an unlikely source. i've heard some clips and her delivery was quite good.

I am married to the president of the United States, and here's our typical evening: Nine o'clock, Mr. Excitement here is sound asleep, and I'm watching Desperate Housewives— with Lynne Cheney. Ladies and gentlemen, I am a desperate housewife. I mean, if those women on that show think they're desperate, they oughta be with George.

later, her press secretary set the record straight.

Playing off "Desperate Housewives," the racy hit U.S. television show, was a natural, even though Whitson said in a brief interview after the dinner that Bush had never actually seen it. Whitson said the first lady had heard about the characters and plot from her twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara, who are fans, and was planning to watch the entire first season on a DVD she has at home.

now i know they watch first-run movies at the White House movie theater, but do they get their hands on DVDs that haven't been released yet? if not, just what the hell is she gonna watch and where did she get it?
