The White House seems to be a little defensive about President Bush's summer vacation. According to the San Bernardino Sun, a spokesman insisted "the reason that Bush is in Crawford, Texas, is due to the renovation of the West Wing of the White House."

Said the spokesman: "He's operating on a full schedule; he's just doing it from the ranch instead of from the White House. The only week he had officially off was this last week."

Whether he's on vacation or just away, USA Today notes he's been "shadowed by anti-war demonstrators" the entire time.

Uhhhhh

1. keep the pressure on!

he is going to crack!

[Dora]

2. Bullshit.

If it wasn't vacation, they would have said so from the get go.

[rodeodance]

te he. so why did we know know of this before?

[Voltaire]

3. These are the most twisted, lying sons-of-bitches ever!!!

NOW they come up with this fucked-up excuse?? And we are supposed to just be okay with it? Who in the hell do they think they are think they are talking to??!!

[shadowknows69]

34. I've heard 5 year olds that lie better than these idiots

Why can't the other side see it.

[Bob3]

4. Pull the other one it's got bells on it.

"do you think we're retarded?"

So why all this fuss about *'s summer reading list if it wasn't a vacation. And I remember the early august stories about the little sack of shit saying he was looking forward to taking it easy.

Swine. Apologies to the swine.

[Stirk]

5. More of that famous Bush Administration disregard for reality.

And it was raining when he fell off his bike, too! We've heard the position of the meteorologists who say that it was sunny and dry that day. They have a right to their opinion. We just disagree with it.

[evilqueen]

53. I remember that!

In fact, I was curious about that at the time, so I did a little digging on the internetS about Crawford, TX weather... and at no time in the preceding 10 days had Crawford had a drop of rain! In fact, it was sunny and in the 80's every single day for about two weeks.

My reaction at the time : I knew they were liars, but to even attempt to lie about the weather (something that is easily checked)... what kind of minds come up with this shit?

6. President Clinton moved into Blair House

The official white house visitor residence in Washington when extensive renovations were being done on the White House. The house is available to bush and he could stay in Washington and tend to the nations business (horrible thought). Fuck you conservatives, try spinning again.

[trogdor]

24. Camp David isn't far away, either.

[Straight Shooter]

36. Wow. Excellent memory.

Maybe some Dem on a talk show can get a clue and repeat what you just said. :thumbsup:

[BOSSHOG]

40. They moved into Blair House for three weeks

while the White House air conditioning was being repaired. I think it was in 98. The executive branch continued operating with the Chief Executive fulfilling his duties.

[SoCalDem]

7. Ha!

[Stephanie]

8. Really? Where is he today?

Where was he Tuesday? Biking & boating, that's where.

[rodeodance]

11. and to think that SO many will actually believe this now!!!

[sattahipdeep]

14. Where is the little turd

August 24

Residents of nearby Riesel traveled to Crawford today to warn President Bush that his
health, and the health of other Texans, will be affected by six new coal-fired power plants
proposed for Central Texas. One of the proposed new plants would be located in Riesel,
only 30 miles from the Bush ranch.

9. BUSHIT!

As always!

[miss_kitty]

10. I heard that on Democracy Now! this am

I nearly peed myself laughing. They really are losing their edge here. If they weren't in high 'CMA' mode-they'dve announced that at the BEGINNING of Aug 2005 Vacationpalooza, not in the middle of it.

[rodeodance]

13. well now watch for them to put out pics of them 'renovating' now.

[miss_kitty]

17. Watch for them to be in black and white

and have Harry Truman in them...

[Norquist Nemesis]

12. Switched from Charmin to White Cloud

is about the extent of that "renovation".

[havocmom]

15. Maybe putting in secert passages for Jimmy-Jeff to slip through?

And some new drug dispensers, the handlers need all the help they can get.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

16. Oh for the love of.

Man the power naps between naps sure can wear a guy out. Then of course there's crayon hour, followed by a bike ride, then some fishing, then Condi tells him what he's done all day. Then some cocoa and off to bed.

Nini lil W. :eyes:

[Mad_Dem_X]

19. LMAO!

:rofl:

[SammyWinstonJack]

22. You forgot brush clearing photo ops.

:yoiks:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

29. Shame on me.

I await my punishment. :D

[SammyWinstonJack]

37. Just don't let it happen again.

:spank: :-)

[Junkdrawer]

18. What, is Pat Robinson doing his press releases now?

:shrug:

[Nite Owl]

20. And they just got

around to telling us?

[applegrove]

21. Comparing his to the French lifestyle...really hurt.

[walldude]

23. Considering we are at war and have run up a huge deficit

why the fuck are my tax dollars being spent to "renovate" the White House???

[proud patriot]

25. The excecutive Branch is NOT allowed to Move The Seat of Gov.

x(

[bunkerbuster1]

26. So lame you'd think a DUer made it up

worst. excuse. ever.

[SammyWinstonJack]

38. I think we could do better than that.

:-)

[bunkerbuster1]

42. ok, a tired, hung-over DUer

who just had to post something.

Present company excluded of course.

[donco6]

27. And on his bike?

That must be SOME mobile office!

[DanCa]

31. And off his bike and on his bike and off his bike and on his bike (nt)

[DanCa]

28. It takes a month to get rid of Chimp Stink? (nt)

[Citizen Jane]

39. Thanks for making me laugh out loud! n/t

[DanCa]

41. Welcome to DU CJ and your welcome

:hi: All we have left is laughter and beer. :beer:

[Crankie Avalon]

30. What happened? At the beginning of the month...

...it was "his tradition" to take August off every year. Now they deny saying that? Robertson denies saying he called for an assassination, Limbaugh denies calling Cindy Sheehan "Bill Burkett--her story is all forged documents"...what's next?

Can't these rightwing people stop lying long enough to stand by anything they said? Oh, yeah...that question supplies its own answer. Never mind.

[dxstone]

32. NO WORRIES! They're just having the White House painted... BLACK!

52. Paint the White House Black!

[KamaAina]

33. Once it's all clean and shiny, it will be renamed...

the White Wash!

[elehhhhna]

35. Breaking: His last 4 one month Vacations were for "Heavy Cleaning"

uh, riiiight.

[BlueJac]

43. Full schedule this

[ernstbass]

44. Shouldn't they wait to fumigate

until AFTER he leaves office?

[Roland99]

49. They're going to have to raze it and rebuild it.

[Cha]

45. They'd LIE about whether

the sun was shining or NOT if it would help prop up the chimp.

[Bluebear]

46. All of a sudden. n/t

[Kickin_Donkey]

47. Riiiiight ...

They're trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube.

[ChickMagic]

48. So typical

Remember when Bushler went off sweets to try to shorten his running time? He said that himself. Later, his mouthpieces said he gave up sweets as a sacrifice because of the sacrifice of the troops.

[TheCowsCameHome]

50. Oh, you must mean 'Fumigation' .

[Cleita]

51. I think it really needs an exorcism or smudging

rather than a rennovation. The new President after Bush is going to need gallons of holy water and sage sticks to remove all the evil that they brought there.

[Roland99]

54. Looks like he'll skip S.F. again and go to Rancho Cucamonga next week

While the West Wing is "renovated"
