Coming up at the White House: A visit from "The Lion King"
It's one of those rare sights at the White House: President Bush in black tie.
Look for it Monday evening, when he is the host at a state dinner for the president of Ghana, John Kufuor. His distaste for formal occasions notwithstanding, a state dinner is the least Bush could do for the African president.
When Bush visited Kufuor last February in Accra, his host told him that he would complete a major highway from the Accra airport into the capital city -- and it would be named after George W. Bush.
The entertainment on Monday evening after the dinner will be provided by the cast of, what else, "The Lion King."
