If you’d like an Official Greeting from George W. Bush for a special occasion, you can go here<\/a> for information on doing so.<\/p>\n

(I’m presuming this particular program didn’t originate with Dubya — it’s just the sort of thing that pols love.)<\/p>\n

Special occasions include: Anniversaries (50th or higher), Birthdays (80th or higher), Weddings (send your request after the event), Baby’s Birth (must be born during the current Administration; send request only after baby’s birth), Boy Scout Eagle Scout Award, Girl Scout Gold Award, Bar\/Bat Mitzvah or “equivalent occasion.” <\/p>\n

Order the greeting 6 weeks in advance (except as noted); they’ll be mailed about ten days before the event.<\/p>\n

Now I kinda regret not knowing this in time for Nona’s 90th. I have no idea about her feelings regarding the current Administration, but I know she met the Reagans during some catering work once upon a time (Nancy thought she set a very pretty table, and specifically asked for her again).<\/p>\n
