That's how many days Bush has spent at his ranch, so far. More than one full year, out of 5 has been spent in Crawford, TX.
Instead of parking here for the whole month, Mr. Bush, who arrived Thursday night, will spend just 10 nights before returning to the White House. During his stay, his aides are taking pains to present Mr. Bush as deeply engaged in world events; on Saturday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and the national security adviser, Stephen J. Hadley, arrived to brief him on the Middle East.
“It basically reflects busy times and a busy schedule,” said Dan Bartlett, counselor to Mr. Bush, explaining the abbreviated visit.
Really? Busy times? We all know that Darth Cheney is running foreign policy, the only need for Bush is as a figure-head, meant to push others into doing Cheney's bidding.
Back to vacationing. Finally, one republican gets the outrage of the average American, at King Georgies European-style summer vacations.
“This is a direct reflection of the debacle of last summer where a perception became a reality that he was isolated down in Crawford,” Mr. Reed said, adding: “I’ve always thought a month was a long time. Most families don’t take a whole month off in the summer.”
King George's summer book-reading list is included in this article. Yeah, the yearly attempt to make King George look like an intellectual.
