I think by now we all know about Bush's semi-coherent
search for Bianca during his press conference yesterday.
What we want to know is, who, or what, is Bianca?
Various hypotheses below the fold.
Bianca is:
- like Harvey the Pooka, Bush's invisible friend whom he calls in times of need (interesting parallel: in the movie, Jimmy Stewart, too, is a drunk).
- like Charles Foster Kane's Rosebud, the name of one of Bush's childhood toys, perhaps his bike?
- like William Randolph Heart's Rosebud, a pet name for Laura's, er, bush - he must surely crave some.
- his favorite cocktail - desperately grasping for it; he must crave some of that, too.
- a popular internet smut shack that must be a blessed escape to the days when he was a fratboy at Yale, back to the past.
- his dominatrix for the days when Condi actually has to do work, er, shopping.
- a Texas flamenco dancer he's secretly in love with, which explains his long vacations in Crawford.
- as hypothesized by Billmon, Bianca Jagger, but why???
- Cannabis journalist Bianca Sind, perhaps his dealer.
