In search of the Bush cultural footprint on the capital: a visit to the
hot church and the hot bar.
By Jonathan Darman and Holly Bailey
Newsweek
Jan. 24 issue - In terms of social life, Bush's Washington is an
oxymoron. The 43rd president has never embraced, nor particularly
liked, official Washington-the lawyers and lobbyists and journalists
who make up Washington's more or less permanent establishment. Bush,
who prefers to go to bed at 9:30 p.m., has entertained at only a few
state dinners; his socializing tends to be rare and low-key, mostly
with old Yale and Texas buddies. And most of the Texans who came to
Washington say they want to return home when their time is done. The
one cabinet officer who made the social circuit with some regularity,
Secretary of State Colin Powell, was not asked to stay on for the
second term.
