In Reply to: Vacation, yeah right - Reality Check
Rode bikes and had barbecues, sounds like vacation to me. Played a few rounds of golf in the morning on the day he was scheduled to go to Mississippi to survey the damage. Then Rove instructs the MSM to keep playing up the fact he cut his vacation short - what a lying hoot! He didn't cut one minute short. He went back to Washington on the day he was SCHEDULED to come back - on Wednesday, the same day Sheehan planned to leave Crawford. Just shows how desperate they are to try to fool the people into believing that he actually gives a fig, that they have to lie like that to cover up his apathy.
Heck, this perpetually vacationing president is a joke worldwide - even Hugo Chavez knows the scoop. No one has forgotten how he left another vacation - flew immediately from Crawford in the middle of the night no less! - for and EMERGENCY session of Congress (which was actually two people) to address the Schiavo situation. Taking political advantage perhaps? We think so. Hundreds of thousands dead and dying ain't worth a rush back to Washington where America expects its president to be. I don't care how you try to spin it - it looks BAD. And everyone is noticing.

vacation
Hey Big Bad - I agree with you most of the time - and I will miss your posts. Hope you have a wonderful vaction.
Vacation, yeah right
No president ever takes a vacation.
Now let's talk about the rest of Washington, D.C. where all the congress and senate are on vacation, but because Bush moves the operation to the Oval Office South you think he's drinking umbrella-ed drinks and getting massages. Not even close.
You like that phrase it seems. He WAS on vacation. sm
I don't know where you have been but he has been making speeches about the Hurricaine all weekend before it even hit and pledged support, etc. So obviously, he may have been officially on vacation, but he wasn't in any way. Do you watch TV. He's been all over it. Get over your own bad self.
Stumped about where to go on vacation?
Problem solved! Grab your passports, pack up the kids and go to The Other Iraq where there are less than 200 coalition troops stationed! Guaranteed fun time for all.

That is his vacation home
Or should I say his $10 million retreat in New Hampshire. His legal residence is a big colonial in Massachusetts. You know, the one where he had the illegal immigrants doing his lawn work. I actually voted for McCain today just so I could vote against this guy.
means he went on vacation ...

vacation in Pakistan?
Now I'm starting to worry . . .
Have a good vacation
I don't think I ever agree with you on politics, but I always agree with you on religion. I always like a stimulating conversation (or argument if it leads to that) HA HA.
Everyone deserves a good vacation so have yourself a good time.
Enjoy your vacation......and as a poster down below said.....
I may not agree with your postings all the time, but I love reading them.
Hope you have nice weather if you are going a long distance.
Did the NYT try to 'out Cheney and Rumsfelds vacation homes?' sm
Right wingers must only not believe in conspiracy theories when they are brought up by what they percieve as the left. Because many of them believe the NYT is conspiring with al-Queda against America.
Yeah.
I first saw the vacation homes of John Kerry and Pres Bush on VH1. I think they had Cheneys on there too during the 2004 presidential campaign. Were these treasonous acts as well. Come on, the VP, Rumsfeld and their wives shopping spots are not top secret information. If these folks were not so serious about this, it would be funny.

Taken from DemocraticUnderground.com
Yes, the right is actually accusing the NYT of deliberately trying to get Rumsfeld and Cheney offed. Yesterday the Times published a perfectly innocuous fluff piece in their Friday Escapes section about the town of St. Michael's where R and C both have summer homes. It showed (gasp) photos of the driveway entrances to both houses. It was a typical travel type article, full of information about crabcakes and bed and breakfast establishments, but the idiots across the right wing web are in full howl, spurred on by the loathsome David Horowitz who wrote an article in front page magazine, accusing the NYT of giving directions to Jihadists so that they could assasinate Cheney and Rumsfeld. (Let me add, that I've read dozens of pieces about the Cheney Rumsfeld home purchases in the last year. The NYT hardly broke new ground with this article)
This full bore attack on the NYT is looking more and more orchestrated. Alas, a fair number of people on the left persist in believing that the NYT is an apparatus of the administration.
I find this unrelenting attack on the Times, and by extension on ALL of the press, more than a little disturbing, and wonder if it's not a harbinger of dangerous restrictions on the first amendment.
On vacation and not watching the news, thanks. I don't spend all my time sm
watching politics so I guess I missed it.
Yeah, just heard today he decided to cut his vacation short to deal with the
huricaine. Sheesh.
