I Wonder Every St. Patrick's Day

why the poor Prime Minister of Ireland always finds himself at the White House on March 17.

Seriously. Every St. Patrick's Day, the President, be it Bush or Clinton or Bush (or, in a few years, maybe, Clinton?) hosts the Prime Minister of Ireland, and talks about how many Irish-Americans there are in the United States, and how his great-grandfather's uncle's college roommate was Irish.

And I'm thinking the poor Irish PM is standing there through this photo op, thinking, "Ach, Seamus, here ye are, the Prime Minister of Ireland and here I am with some Texas cowboy who won't even have a damn green beer with me today."

Seriously. It's St. Patrick's Day. He should be in, y'know, Ireland. I mean, we don't send W over to Ireland for the Fourth of July, do we?
