I saw the Chief Executive of the Federal Government deifying him in Alaska earlier today.

But none of that stopped President Bush from embracing Stevens, at least verbally, when he stopped at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska last night to refuel on his trip to Asia. Stevens is popular in Alaska, known as "Uncle Ted" for his faithful record of steering federal funds to the 49th state over the years. When Bush acknowledged him, the audience applauded. Talking to airmen and their families, Bush said:

The United States military has had no better support and stronger friend than Sen. Ted Stevens. Thank you for coming, Senator.

As the Swamp reported, White House press secretary Dana Perino called Bush's remarks "absolutely appropriate."
