This would be a heartwarming little story if it didn’t involve Pure Undiluted Evil.

JAMESTOWN, Va. – JoAnn Falletta was doing what a conductor should — concentrating on the orchestra in front of her. No wonder it took her a few seconds on Sunday to realize someone behind her was motioning for a try.
President Bush.

“Smiling at me kind of devilishly,” Falletta said.

She gave him her baton and stepped aside.

Gesturing exuberantly, the president led the orchestra during part of its performance of “Stars and Stripes Forever.”

“We didn’t expect him to know the score so well,” Falletta said afterward. “He was not shy about conducting at all. He conducted with a great deal of panache.”

And then afterwards he had them all lined up against the wall and shot for not playing patriotically enough

UPDATE: Aaaaaaaaaand cue the leftist outrage!
