Is this guy EVER in Washington?

[tularetom]

1. Why would we possibly want him there?

[mike_c]

2. it's hard work fucking up a government with checks and balances....

Give the guy a break. Sneaking fascism into a nation with a tradition of democracy is REALLY hard work. He deserves his vacations.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

3. Does he really raise pigs?

[leftyladyfrommo]

4. I don't think he raises anything but lots of brush.

So he is leaving his vacation at Camp David to go on to his vacation in Texas.

He certainly does have vacationing down to an art form.

But I feel safer when he's not in Washington. I even prefer Frist to him - that's how bad it is.

5. The "ranch" used to be a pig farm.

[Poiuyt]

18. Correct

The Bush family bought it I believe in 2000, right before the election. They wanted to create the image of George as a hardworking cowboy.

[NanceGreggs]

7. Nah, he doesn't raise pigs on his ranch ...

... he just invites them all there occasionally -- like, Condi, Rummy, Dickwad Cheney, etc. Gives the place its former stench ...

[The Icon Painter]

12. In our house ...

we refer to the Crawford spread as the 'hog wallow'.

9. It's Tax Evasion : Texas-style

If you put a few animals on the lawn of your McMansion,
you can evade property taxes by declaring yourself a "farm".

The guy is friggin' president and he still cheats on his taxes.
What an awful person Bush is... corrupt to the core

19. BabyBush owns a former pig farm and PapaBush has

his library on the former swine center of Texas A & M. Pretty appropriate, I think.

6. Hey, he deserves some time off.

Like from today until forever, as far as I'm concerned.

[RebelOne]

8. Yeah, he sure does. He "works hard."

[flordehinojos]

10. BUSH: cindy sheehan. cindy sheehan. cindy sheehan to you!

[Retrograde]

11. and starts his Crawford vacation tomorrow (n/t)

[mountainvue]

13. I thought he was already in

Crawford. I guess I kind of assume he's always there.

[DoYouEverWonder]

14. Funny, only one picture of him since Dec 22nd

He must be really soused.

[southernleftylady]

15. but..but..but.. you can work out of crawford these days you dont have

to be in dc to do work :eyes: :puke:

[stevedeshazer]

16. Come on. He made NINE phone calls! Ease up on the guy.

He's workin' hard.

17. It's interesting they don't call it the "Camp David Retreat" these days.

Mortimer Smirk needs a vacation from his retreat - more time off to recover from such stressful relaxation.


Of the thousands of articles mentioning Camp David in the news, only two (and the republication on other outlets) use the phrase "Camp David retreat".
