CNN's Bush Christmas fluff piece reaches a new low: "Imagine a tough guy from Texas shopping..." |

Bush gives purse, gets biking gear for Christmas http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/WASHINGTON (CNN) – It's hard to imagine a tough guy from Texas shopping for a pocketbook, but President Bush gave his wife a new purse and a silver tray for Christmas, according to an aide to First Lady Laura Bush.A U.S. soldier holds his M16 rifle in Baiji, November 25, 2007. A suicide truck bomb killed at least 20 people and wounded 80 in the northern Iraqi city of Baiji on Tuesday, the U.S. military and police said, in one of the deadliest attacks in Iraq in two weeks. (Stefano Rellandini/Reuters) Sally McDonough, the First Lady's spokeswoman, said that in turn Mrs. Bush is helping quench the President's thirst for vigorous bike rides, even during the frosty months. "For the President, Mrs. Bush is helping to outfit him for cold weather mountain biking," said McDonough. "With a new coat and warming soles."Rescue workers clear the rubble after a suicide truck bomb attack in Baiji December 25, 2007.

The twin girls are among several family members spending the Christmas holiday at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland. Others attending the celebration included the First Lady's mother, Jenna Welch, as well as two of the President's siblings — sister Doro Bush Koch and brother Marvin — along with their families.A man picks up body parts after a suicide truck bomb attack in Baiji December 25, 2007.

A car bomb killed one person and wounded five others on Sinak Bridge in central Baghdad, police said. REUTERS/Mahmoud Raouf Mahmoud (IRAQ) The President will get a chance to digest all of that, and prepare for a busy year ahead, starting Wednesday when he heads to Crawford, Texas, to spend a few days relaxing at his ranch through New Year's Day. Bush kicks off a busy year of international travel January 8, when he heads to Israel to work on Mideast peace on a trip that will also include stops in nations like Bahrain, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
