Bush: “The Thing I’ll Miss Most About the White House is John-John and Monica Under the Desk in the Oval Office”

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In a wistful interview, President Bush pondered what his life will be like after he leaves Washington.  “The thing I’ll miss most is seeing John-John and Mon-Mon [Monica Lewinsky] under the desk in the Oval Office,” the President said.

“I can’t tell you how much enjoyment those two have given me,” Bush said.  “Just watching them frolic about the desk, crawling in and out of the front panel, brightened my spirits during some of the darkest moments of our nation’s history.”

Bush tried to convince his wife, Laura, to take the desk, along with John-John and Monica, back to Texas when Bush’s term ends in January.  “She thinks we’re too old to take care of a rambunctious little boy like John-John,” Bush said.  “Laura didn’t explain why she doesn’t want Monica to come with us.”
