DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press Writer

CRAWFORD, Texas - President Bush and first lady Laura Bush are involved in a little he-said, she-said business here at the presidential ranch.

He's working on the acceptance speech he'll deliver in two weeks at the Republican National Convention. She's working on one she'll deliver earlier at the convention.

1. "Working on the speech" = "Memorizing Rove / Hughes index cards"

What a laugh..."working" on the speech. Workin' on a longneck and a sack of pretzels, thumbin' through the TV guide to see if there are any good cartoons on.

2. He rode his bike and didn't fall?

...and apparently didn't let the pretzel get the best of him! A good day of vacation...er, what's that Scotty? OOooh, sorry, yeah, I meant *Down Time* wink wink

On Wednesday, he took a bike ride, and has been watching some of the Summer Olympics (news - web sites), McClellan said.

3. August and Bush vacations at the ranch...the two go hand in hand......

.....like pretzels and beer. As regularly as the swallows return to Capistrano and the buzzards to Hinkley Ohio it is guaranteed that Junior will find his way back to the ranch each and every August for a little worm digging and extended vacation. Now, watch this drive.............

5. Does anyone with half a brain really think Chimp is "working on his speech

He's the laziest "leader" we have ever had.

I thought Reagan was bad. At least he was already over 70 at the time. But Chimpy wins the laziest award hands down.

10. Indeed. He cannot read more than a one page summary of anything.

Including the October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate regarding the "basis" for war. So like you I have no illusions he is busy writing a speech. I would sooner believe that Dick Cheney's energy task force was secretly looking for ways to implement solar power to replace oil!

4. I thought they did a story a few weeks ago that said he wouldn't be

taking a vacation, but instead would be on the campaign trail.

Guess all trails lead to Crawford....getting in a little R&R.....Rovian Reprogramming

6. Laura never worked a day in her life after she decided to sponge off

the Bush money and perform her wifely duty by producing offspring to the Bush family.

7. He needs at least a week to memorize what they write for him

He can't do anything on his own. I can't believe people actually want a pres like that. Sick.

8. Good - Now is the Time For Democrats to Pull Out All of the Stops

Time to go like a bat out of hell folks.

The Kerry der Kriegsruf Blitzen (Kerry war cry blitz) strikes again

9. Hmmmm. Hardly makes sense to come back to D.C.

n/t

11. Come January the headlines will read....

"Bush to take permanent vacation at the pig farm compliments of the American voting public."

13. Could he just go home now and stay there? I'm sure we could get some

volunteers to pack up his things and send them to Crawford.

14. So the "terrorist" attack is happening this week?
