Tonight we'll have a dinner, just the four of us — Ms. Blair and Laura and the two of us, and I'm really looking forward to it.

British PM Tony Blair's wife's name is Cherie Booth, as she did not change her last name when they married (this is the sort of thing Presidents need to know when they invite guests over: their names), Feb. 23, 2001

REPORTER: There has been a lot said about how different you [and Tony Blair] are as people. Have you already in your talks found something maybe that you — some personal interest that you have in common, maybe in religion or sport or music?
DUBYA: Well, we both use Colgate toothpaste.

Not the answer that anyone would have guessed, Camp David, Maryland, Feb. 23, 2001

It is not Reaganesque to support a tax plan that is Clinton in nature.

Los Angeles, California, Feb. 23, 2000

I don't have to accept their tenants. I was trying to convince those college students to accept my tenants. And I reject any labeling me because I happened to go to the university.
