CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) -- President Bush stuck out his right elbow Thursday, jokingly demonstrating how he'll escort his daughter down the aisle at her wedding this weekend.

He made the gesture at Andrews Air Force Base before boarding Air Force One for the flight to Texas, where Jenna Bush will be married Saturday before about 200 guests at the family's 1,600 acre, secluded ranch. Asked if he was excited, the president smiled and gave a thumbs-up.

''He's looking forward to it,'' White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe told reporters aboard the plane as it flew from rainy Washington to sunny Texas. ''He's excited like any proud father is to see one of his daughters get married.''

I'm glad the Pres and his wife will have one evening of pure bliss, uninterrupted by the world and its problems.

I would love to be at the wedding.

I am sure Pelosi will say something about it on Monday.

You mean Cindy Sheehan isn't standing outside the gate smelling bad and screaming obscenities?

Anyone want to bet there'll be at least 2-3 negative/critical articles about this?

Already heard from one MSM radio reporter that's it strange the guest list is ONLY 200 - considering the number of family members, etc. Guess they weren't on the invited list and have hurt feelings.

Do you mean - gasp - President Bush is a normal human father with normal human dreams and goals for his faily?

I wish them all well and blessings for the newlyweds.

They simply can't conceive of a family and friends wedding. Too many of the wealthy use weddings as a payback for business acquaintances and big donors to political campaigns.

I'm glad Jenna is getting her way on this. She may regret it when she's older (not having a White House wedding, I mean) but at least it will be the way she wants it. I saw Luci Johnson on TV yesterday and it sounded as though she didn't get to do anything she wanted at her wedding.

Good grief, people, let the Bush's have their wedding in "PEACE"!!
