On the Road Again

A long, hot humid summer — new excerpts from Ben Stein's Diary.

(Page 5 of 5)

Anyway, up very early this morning for another speech, this time to a large assembly of credit union officials. They were a great audience. Truly great, really super. One of the best ever. We talked about how much we hate the obscene executive compensation that’s going on and how my hero, Bush, has turned a blind eye to it.

We talked a lot about how much we love our troops and our police and firemen and even our teachers. Two standing ovations. That’s me bragging.

Afterwards, many women came up to me and told me they would want me to be president even though they were Democrats. I wonder if Karl Rove knows what a thing he could have here….

Then, a long, long drive to Detroit and a flight to Dallas. A middle-aged woman at the Detroit airport asked me if I would marry her. She said she wanted a rich husband so she would not have to work. I told her I was happily married plus I was not rich. She didn’t look happy.

In Dallas, I had dinner with a woman whose ex-boyfriend had just given away his German short-haired pointer. He needs shooting.
