You, sir, are no Gene Kelly
Mar. 19th, 2008 10:35 pmMaureen Dowd compares G-Bu's tap dancing on the White House steps to Gene Kelly. Mrs. Kelly begs to differ.
Dowd's column, "Soft Shoe in Hard Times," asked "why the president is in such a fine mood" - at a time when "the dollar's crumpling, the recession's thundering, the Dow's bungee-jumping and the world's disapproving." Nevertheless, she noted, Bush "has turned into Gene Kelly, tap dancing and singing in a one-man review called 'The Most Happy Fella.'"
Kelly's widow contrasted her late husband's achievements with those of the president. Kelley, she wrote, "graduated with a degree in economics from Pitt," and, unlike the president, was "a most civilized man. He spoke multiple languages; wrote poetry; studied history; understood the projections of Adam Smith and John Maynard Keynes. He did the Sunday Times crossword in ink."
