Well, guess who happened to show up in Manhattan in the latest extremely non-political terror alert! Why Waura and The Twins, of course!

Uptown, at the heavily guarded 59-story Citigroup building on East 53rd Street and Lexington Avenue, New York Gov. George Pataki and Mayor Michael Bloomberg paid workers a call with three surprise visitors -- first lady Laura Bush and her two daughters.

Asked by a reporter why she had come to the center, [Lady Mac]Bush smiled and replied, "For coffee."

Smirk.

Then She remembers the line:

Seconds later she added, "I want to thank people for coming to work and I'm really glad to be with them today."

Hey, and get this! She actually spontaneously meets with some citizens in a totally unscripted setting, just like aWol does:

Later, Nandika Madgavkar of Short Hills, a Citicorp volunteer program manager who sat with Bush and the others, said workers were surprised by the first lady's visit.

"We didn't know anything about it, so it was an absolute surprise," said Madgavkar, 39. "I'm absolutely delighted that they were here, because a lot of us who work with Citigroup, with these alerts, we are fearful."

Gag me with a spoon.

Nandika, Nandika, Nandika. Do you really think Bush would send his best campaign surrogates into any real danger?
