That was President Bush's equivalent of Chris Farley's "fat guy in a little coat" joke, part of his speech last night at the Republican Governor's Association gala.

Mr. Bush warmed up the crowd at the National Building Museum by mentioning his brother, Jeb Bush, who recently finished his second term as governor of Florida.

"Now that he's out of office, I understand Jeb is spending a lot of time on Florida's beaches," Mr. Bush said. "He says people still recognize him -- when he's out there in his Speedo, they come up and say, 'How you doing, Governor Schwarzenegger?'"

The crowd, which included Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California, roared with laughter.
