President Bush coming to Maine - for a wedding (Jeb's son)
Family obligations will provide President George W. Bush with an excuse to spend a summer weekend at the family compound in Kennebunkport.

The president plans to take a break from his re-election campaign to attend the wedding next Saturday of his nephew, George P. Bush.

White House spokesman Ken Liasius said the president would stay overnight Friday at the family compound on Walker's Point after speaking at a picnic in New Hampshire. Bush plans to return to Washington on Sunday, said Liasius, who would not comment on any other plans for the weekend.

Tee hee...local Dems have known about this for months. Of course I can't say how they knew. ;)

2. Kennebunkport ? how elitist of them
you think news articles which are not opinion pieces will write things such as "Bush, who claims to represent the heart and soul of america is taking time off to vacation with the elite rich in kennebunkport" or some other shit like that which they always do with kerry?

3. Is George P. Bush the one who climbed up the building and broke into
the room of the girlfriend who broke up with him? The one whom George H.W. Bush referred to as "the little brown ones" when the press asked if his grandchildren were disembarking an airplane?

16. Victims declined to press charges
From TSG

"Bush, then a Rice University student, soon fled the scene. But he returned 20 minutes later to drive his Ford Explorer across the home's front lawn, leaving wide swaths of burned grass in his wake. Young Bush avoided arrest when the victims declined to press charges."

DWI?

I have been to Kennebunkport. (Stayed in Wells on US1. Great beach, Ogunquit, etc.)

The "heartland" has no idea how elite this place is, especially in early August.

6. "Kennebunkport for Kerry"
Also, the local Democrats have a fantastic party headquarters in the middle of Dock Square in K'bunkport. The sign says "Kennebunkport for Kerry". (I think they've added "Edwards".) People stop and take pictures outside it. It's a terrific location for tourists.

The local GOP office is down the street and state GOP officials are a bit miffed that the Dems got the better location.

Some people are referring to the town as "Kerrybunkport"! :D

8. Would increased surveillance have clued Mainers to some oncoming Bush
activities?

Increased fly-over helicopters, increased sea patrols, tanks rolling by the highway?

Or, is the Mandy girl someone who is also from Maine?

Just curious about what sort of intuition alerted you all to what was coming! :D

11. Here's a little story
I think it was last summer, a local woman was planning her wedding. She had arranged with a hotel almost a year in advance to hold her reception in their ballroom. A week before the wedding the Secret Service took over the hotel and she was told she couldn't have her wedding there because the Boy George was coming to visit Mommy and Poppy.

I think the end of that story was that the White House provided a tent for the hotel's lawn so she could have her reception there. But the family was NOT happy.

The locals aren't thrilled with the Bushes.

And that's all I'm sayin'. ;)

26. Is the bride to be" a little brown one" too?

Just wondering, pretty soon the Bush family will be of "mixed" heritage now that the little Prince George is ready to marry.

Is his bride of the upper crust?

Will his mother's relatives be in attendance?

Did his mom go to Europe to select her dress for the wedding? Hope she can clear customs this time.

13. My Vow: There will NOT be another President George Bush
-snip

George P. Bush is widely expected to have a political career of his own, though he has announced no plans to run for office.

In addition to the two presidents who share his first and last name, he is also named for his great-grandfather, Prescott Bush, a Republican senator from Connecticut in the 1950s.

"He definitely has the right genes," said Joseph Agostini, spokesman for the Florida Republican Party. "He comes from a good family."
-snip

NO NO NO

Of course I don't know how I would really stop it myself, because it seems that name lulls half this country into a stupor.

27. Yeah, what a bachelor party this would be.
No car with which to farm a yard, but you could probably pay a prostitute extra so's you could pretend to stalk her. What fun.

18. Following in his uncle's footsteps
When Uncle George decided to enter politics he nedecided he eded a wife, and he found and married the unwitting Laura within weeks.

George P. has graduated from law school!!! and is now working for a cushy Texas law firm (Baker Botts?) and instead of enlisting to fight for his country in Iraq, is entering the family business.

22. He can't handle not having August off!!
If I was a repub, which thank god I'm not, I would be pissed he is taking soo much time off on important weekends when he could be out campaigning. He is lazy and can't work for more than a few days. Thank the Lord he is who he is...it makes it so much easier for us to win!!!!
