Bush draws laughs when he asks about Galveston's Splash Day

Too funny ... I found this through Kevin's website:

Bush draws laughs when he asks about Galveston's Splash Day _ now a gay event

GALVESTON, Texas President Bush made a splash with his audience in Galveston, Texas, when he asked whether the area still hosts "Splash Day."

The annual beach party that dates to the 1950s does live on -- but now as an unofficial gay and lesbian event.In town to speak about Social Security, Bush told the crowd that he asked the mayor of Galveston: "Do you still have Splash Day?"The crowd laughed. Bush added: "You have to be a baby boomer to know what I'm talking about." The crowd laughed again.Splash Day once marked the end of school and the beginning of summertime fun. The city backed off from it many years ago when it turned a little too wild. It later became a party day for gays and lesbians.Drawing another round of laughter, Bush said: "I'm not saying whether I came or not on Splash Day. I'm just saying, 'Do you have Splash Day?'"
