White House Denies Bush is on Vacation
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."

2. "He's operating on a full schedule"

Well yes, his full schedule consists of doing nothing of any substance and or tirades about everyone that's against him. He could do that anywhere, including a cell at The Hague.

10. A full schedule of fishing, cycling, napping and fundraising

It's such HARD, HARD work being George W. Bush.

4. So, the West Wing gets spruced up EVERY August?

Yeah, right.

Full schedule? So they are admitting it's a part time job for the shrub?

ILLEGAL!

So now he's "officially" operating from somewhere other than the White House? Unconstitutional last I checked.

He likes to kick up his heels and relax with a few tall cool ones out where he can't hear the peasants cry.

Shall we make a big deal about requesting them? Hmmm?
