Laura Bush and I flew up to a floating space station that was part of a Star Wars-like anti-nuclear apparatus. Laura was a closet liberal, and she was looking forward to arriving and announcing to the world that she had convinced the commanders of the station to deactivate the system, or at least their part of it. When we arrived, we were sorely disappointed to find out that she didn't have nearly the clout that we thought she had; the commanders wouldn't budge.
