Guardian: Bush Cuts Short Holiday As Anti-War Neighbours Move In

The principal of neighbourliness is about to be stretched to its limits in Crawford, Texas, where the well-known peace activist Cindy Sheehan has bought a plot of land not far from the town's most famous resident, George Bush.

Ms Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in Iraq two years ago aged 24, will use the two hectare (five acre) plot as a permanent home for Camp Casey, the roadside peace protest that dogged Mr. Bush throughout last summer.

The president traditionally spends a long August vacation at the ranch, but this year he is curtailing his holiday to a fortnight - ending it days before the advertised start of Ms Sheehan's protest.

"We are beginning to believe that he is frightened of us," she wrote in a message to supporters, adding that this year's campaign would begin two days earlier than scheduled, "so we can at least share part of the summer with Georgie."

If there is one thing George W. Bush knows, it's how to do the Chickenhawk Shuffle.

1. Run away, scared little Bushie boy. What a coward.

7. And take your Poodle with you

[Carla in Ca]

2. But...

What about 'love thy neighbor'? Oh, I forgot, repubs get to be selective, don't they?

[SoCalDem]

3. Looks like the campers will have to go early too..

:evilgrin:

[radfringe]

4. *smirk*

heeheehee...so he "cut and ran"?

[MADem]

5. How clever to have bought the land...no more getting hassled in the ditch

now. And as a property owner, she's part of the community. Heh, heh....!

[SlavesandBulldozers]

13. i absolutely love it.

so smart, and so aggressive - unrelenting.

I'm so proud Cindy's on my side - or I'm on Cindy's side - not simply because it's the right side - but because she's not on the other:)

[Phrogman]

6. I give it a rec and a kick for Cindy!

Brave (and smart) Lady!

[Vidar]

8. The Chickenhawk Shuffle is usually followed by the Warmonger's Rag.

[Jazzgirl]

9. I think its great that Cindy has so much power

*shrub can't even take his traditional month-long vacation. He is frightened. Chickenshit shuffle is what I call it.

[cliss]

25. You're right.

Remember all those photos they used to release of Bush? on his summer vacation? The dude is out there, cutting brush with a chain saw, moving branches here and there, just looking so tough and ordinary. GREAT photo ops!! Even though you can clearly see a box on his back through the T-shirt as he drives his dusty pick up truck.....

Oh, well. So much for staged Photo Ops.

I think you're right. He would be absolutely crazy to take a month-long vacation while all this is going on. Plus, there was an article about how Bush simply CAN'T take his long vacations because of all the trouble brewing in the world. He would look like a disconnected fool if he did.

So what's new about that?

[smirkymonkey]

29. Why on earth anybody in their right mind would want to take a

summer vacation in Crawford,Texas in the first place? Wouldn't his family's place in Kennebunkport be more "vacation friendly?" Oh wait, I forgot - if you're just going to sit in an air conditioned room and drink yourself into a stupor everyday, I guess it doesn't matter where you are.

Cheers to Cindy for making the little creep squirm.

10. I thought

Didn't Bush buy the property just before his handlers started advancing him for the presidential run? I thought he lived in a gated rich community before purchasing the prop ranch. And I always assumed he would be selling it off just as soon as he left office and didn't need the image boost anymore.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

14. i believe you are correct.

i also believe your assumption regarding his selling it off is probably true as well. It's gonna be a long 2 years for him, though. Especially considering he vacations more than he "works".

[The Backlash Cometh]

11. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! WELCOME TO MY WORLD, MR. BUSH!

[leftchick]

12. love you Cindy!

you go girl!
:)

[llmart]

15. What a yellow-bellied coward.............

but we already knew that. Just more evidence of it.

He's lower than a piece of dogshit on my shoe. How did the mighty US end up in this predicament with an imbecile for a president?

[BrklynLiberal]

16. PNAC chose him precisely because he is so stupid and would do anything

they told him to do.
I think they tried this with Nixon, Reagan, and even Poppy, but they all balked at some of the commands. Dimson just followed all the orders blindly because they were able to convince him that it was "God" talking to him. The man is dumber than a box of rocks, and his psychopathology lends itself perfectly to their plans.
It was a perfect storm of stupidity and evilness.

[llmart]

30. I agree with your assessment...........

he certainly is just a "puppet" and will do whatever they tell him to do, no matter how evil. The only thing I've never believed is that he is truly a religious person. I think that part is all an act.

[BrklynLiberal]

34. I agree. His only religion is "ME FIRST".

[chill_wind]

17. Bush's ownership society is finally working! :-) Go Cindy! nt

[snappyturtle]

18. Good one: "...ownership society..." ! nt

[midnight]

31. Owner ship society never was working better.

I think Cindy is starting to understand how to use the laws to her advantage.

[kath]

19. Is US Pravda reporting on this?

or, once again, is this something that only the foreign press will cover?

[Dulcinea]

20. CNN has it.

21. Let's buy some land near the WH and drive shithead out of there,

too!

[texpatriot2004]

22. Yellow-Bellied Coward that George nm

[Joe Bacon]

23. Hey Cindy, let us know when Pickles comes over for a cup of sugar

She's got to use SOMETHING to cut the cocaine for Chucklenuts!

[City Lights]

24. C-O-W-A-R-D!

:middlefinger:

[progressivebydesign]

26. oh.. the mofo wont' cut his vacay short for the FUCKING WAR?

Unbelievable. At first I thought it was about "neighbors" being Lebanon and Israel. That dumbass should NOT be on vacation right now! He should be working on stopping this new war, and hey.. what the hell.. fixing the one he started in Iraq. Guess he'll have to head up to kennebunktport for a while where the polo shirts and plaid golf pants prevail.

[tgnyc]

27. Bush is and always has been a little punk-ass biyatch.

[eppur_se_muova]

28. How many ways can you say "COWARD"? Bu**sh** must know them all. nt

[genieroze]

32. Whadda pussbag.
