Bush Vacations as GI's Make Ultimate Sacrifice in The Useless, Unprovoked War in Iraq

by Al
10 Apr 2004

And yet Bring 'Em On Bush is taking it manfully in stride. As The Washington Post reports, "This is Bush's 33rd visit to his ranch since becoming president. He has spent all or part of 233 days on his Texas ranch since taking office ... Adding his 78 visits to Camp David and his five visits to Kennebunkport, Maine, Bush has spent all or part of 500 days in office at one of his three retreats, or more than 40 percent of his presidency."

A "war-time president" wouldn't skip town just as the combat situation soured.

Which must by why George W. Bush has skipped town.

Yes, he's taken another unearned vacation down in Texas, where he's been showing off his expansive ranch to representatives of the National Rifle Association and other "sporting aficionados and conservation groups."

Now, why true sportsmen would have any interest in the anti-Teddy Roosevelt -- the President who's weakened protections on as much land as Roosevelt set aside, and whose shootin'-fish-in-a-barrel sidekick is Dick Cheney -- is beyond me.

But it's good to know that George W. Bush has found time for a 500th vacation day, even as the ever-rising American death toll in Iraq reaches 628. (For all of you shrill semantic hair-splitters out there who divide war zone sacrifices into those that count and those that don't, the toll of Americans killed in full-on combat action stands, at this writing, at 455. It's no doubt rising even as I type this.)

And yet Bring 'Em On Bush is taking it manfully in stride. As The Washington Post reports, "This is Bush's 33rd visit to his ranch since becoming president. He has spent all or part of 233 days on his Texas ranch since taking office ... Adding his 78 visits to Camp David and his five visits to Kennebunkport, Maine, Bush has spent all or part of 500 days in office at one of his three retreats, or more than 40 percent of his presidency."

That includes a month-long kick-back in August 2001 that was the longest presidential vacation in 32 years.

Forty percent of his presidency! That's the equivalent of taking paid leave off from Jan. 1 to May 24. Must be nice. But it sure does cast a harsh new light on this Administration's anti-weekend drive to scale back overtime pay.

7. That should be a good bumper sticker!

And everyone who reads it will know exactly who you're talking about.

3. Now it's up to the rest of us to make sure that he has all the time in the

world after next January to fish. For the rest of his life. Unless by some act of a merciful God (or however you want to see it) he ends up on trial somewhere.

4. Fri was taping a cable show as a fisherman

and how NO media is covering this taping

5. His father did the same thing

at the time, I thought it was all for show you know, --I'm the president and is so confident at he does not and cannot get involved in all of that fighting and bombing and killing of civilians.

What is important is that he maintain that image of the "president" and that is important to this idiot. He does not , of course , realize that it takes more than acting to be a leader and a president.


So, Bush number one, went out on his cigarette boat and his stupid son will go down sporting a four pound bass that someone saw to it that he 'caught". LOL

This idiot son seems to be doing the same thing, But I think the son actually is so stupid that he really does ot even know why he is doing this, Someone else told him how to act here and what to say here.

He is totally a stupid man.

6. No, I'm sure he's saying something very heavy on policy and . . . you know

"I'm tired of swatting flies?"

Did he say that at his ranch? Is Condi sure he was talking about terrorists, or actual flies?
