This Is No "Working Vacation" - Do They Have to LIE About EVERYTHING? >>>



WHERE'S GEORGE?





Bush himself described a typical day at his Crawford ranch to reporters recently, as reported by The New York Times: "I'm going to have lunch with Secretary of State Rice, talk a little business; Mrs. Bush, talk a little business ... take a little nap. I'm reading an Elmore Leonard book right now, knock off a little Elmore Leonard this afternoon; go fishing with my man, Barney; a light dinner and head to the ballgame. I get to bed about 9:30 p.m., wake up at 5 a.m. So it's a perfect day."

6. That's the fatcat donor's "ranch"
The Broken Spoke, IIRC. On the way to the fundraiser that day he drove past Cindy in the ditch. The next day he traveled by helicopter. After that he stayed inside his Waco Compound for eight days straight - did not appear at all.

After speaking to reporters, Bush took a bike ride and then had dinner plans with Idaho Gov. Dirk Kempthorne and the state's congressional delegation. He said he also planned to spend some "quality time" with the first lady.

18. Or like they fear him. Ever see the Twilight Zone with little Ron Howard?
Edited on Fri Aug-26-05 03:46 PM by blm
All the adults play acted around him as if it was one big happy family, because if they didn't, he would torture them, kill them or have them disappeared.

"I'm kind of hanging loose, as they say," Bush said Tuesday before his first bike ride around the grounds of Tamarack Resort, where he's staying until Wednesday.

Bush spent part of the day with Idaho Gov. Dirk Kempthorne, though the state's top elected official wasn't always able to keep up with the brisk pace Bush set on his morning laps around the pine-studded grounds.

"Did they come by this way?" Kempthorne asked a uniformed officer as he rode past a checkpoint Tuesday morning about two minutes behind the presidential cycling pack, known as "Peloton One" in the jargon of White House security.

In cycling, a peloton is a closely packed group of riders who find reduced wind resistance by drafting each other. The presidential cycling peloton, however, bore a greater resemblance to a mechanized cavalry unit.

There were four other cyclists keeping pace with the president, followed by five forest-green golf carts, each carrying three men in military fatigues down the trail. Driving along a gravel road running parallel to the trail were four sport utility vehicles, three of them black Chevrolet Suburbans with electronic communications equipment and turrets sprouting from the roofs.
