Bush Begins Weeklong Stay at Texas Ranch
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.

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......
Edited on Thu Aug-19-04 04:47 PM by benfranklin1776
.....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!

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.

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.
