On Tuesday, Ann Romney will host a fundraising luncheon for her husband's campaign in George W. Bush's Dallas home. I'm sure it'll have everything: Finger sandwiches, impeccable place settings, some nice chilled wine, a fleet of quiet minorities to serve the food...what a perfect afternoon! Not a single thing is missing. Except...

Romney campaign aides said Thursday they were unsure whether former president Bush would appear at the lunchtime event at his home, or at a separate finance event with Romney later that evening at a Dallas hotel. A Bush spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment on the former president's schedule, but one Texas Republican close to Bush said he will be in Dallas on Tuesday.

I like to think that Bush will be out back the whole time, playing with his toy aircraft carrier in the pool.
