I'll save you the read.

There was a surprise ending to the press conference when a reporter noted to Bush that it was his birthday, too. Bush invited the reporter, 54-year-old Raghubir Goyal of the India Globe and Asia Today, onto the stage for a birthday picture."Anybody else have their birthday today?" Bush called out.
Richard Benedetto of USA Today, turning 65, stood up and was summoned to the stage.
"Amazing, everybody's birthday today," Bush exclaimed.
Harper piped up, "I was going to say, if there starts to get any more, I'm going to start to question it."
But there was another celebrant, State Department employee Todd Mizis, who was in the audience.
"My goodness," Bush said. "Today's your birthday? Awesome."
There was time then for a song: a chorus of "Happy Birthday."
