President Bush is taking his final August vacation down on the ranch. This is a picture that was taken at a local gas station during his FIRST vacation back in 2001.

This picture was printed in the Waco Herald-Tribune on Friday, August 15, 2008. (h/t Moss-e in Waco)

2. Having trouble posting a comment there

To the person who said that at least Bush kept his zipper up... How come gay male prostitute Jeff Gannon had 19 sleep-overs in The White House and yet nobody has investigated?

If Bush did not keep his zipper up, we would not know about it because nobody in the Conservative Corporate Complicit Press is investigating the Gannon story, or the rumors that Bush is sleeping with Condi while Laura stays at The Mayflower Hotel.

Or the photos of Bush obviously poop-faced drunk at The Olympics.

3. Ain't that the truth. He kept his pants zipped (?), and yet;

has screwed millions of people. Doesn't take much to appease the Bushbots.

What a legacy.
