Salon.com News | Bush draws laughs on 'Splash Day' question: "President Bush drew laughs from his audience Tuesday when he asked whether the Galveston area still hosts 'Splash Day.'

The annual beach party that dates to the 1950s does live on -- but now as an unofficial gay and lesbian event.

In town to speak about Social Security, Bush told the crowd: 'I want to thank the mayor for being here -- Lyda Ann Thomas greeted me coming in. I said, 'Do you still have Splash Day?''"
