LAUGH LINES
On the Campaign Trail: Responding to preemptive attacks from Democrats, George W. Bush says they must be worried. “If Al Gore was your leading candidate, you’d be worried too.” (Ira Lawson)
On the Campaign Trail II: “It doesn’t feel like the presidential campaign has started. Ross Perot hasn’t even dropped out yet.” (Jay Leno)
