It's Official-W is REALLY missing his vacation
Yesterday's
Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/08/20040805-3.html

Today at the Unity Conference
One journalist there, an African-American man named Ronald Martin (?) badgered Bush with a series of nuanced questions leading him from condemning affrimative action and "race quotas" to discussing "legacy quotas" and whether Bush 2 supports university policies that weight the sons and daughters of alumni with extra points toward admission. Following this line of reasoning, Mr. Martin ultimately got Bush to state: I believe colleges should act affirmatively.
Audio here


Another journalist there, a Native American asked Bush what sovereignty meant to him. He responded:
Sovereignty means just that, sovereignty. We have given you sovereignty, so now you are sovereign.

"We actually misnamed the war on terror, it ought to be The Struggle Against Ideological Extremists Who do not Believe in Free Societies who Happen to use Terror as a Weapon to try to Shake the Conscience of the Free World."

2. Does bush* realize he's fucked things up so bad that he's throwing
this thing so the "Perfect Shit Storm" hits during President Kerry's watch?

Kerry is going to have a exponentially Herculean task on his hands keeping these United States from imploding.

bush* recession becomes depression when
bush* war on terra becomes WWII when
bush* oil buddies crank per barrel cost over $50 because of
bush*s war on terra

8. Things could get ugly.
Bush will be like a cornered animal if he misses his monthly vacation. The W stands for Whore, but for some odd reason Bush thinks it stands for Vacation.

10. Is there any chance he could melt down during the RNC?
This is my fantasy -

Bush takes the stage for his speech at the RNC but something technical goes wrong. His ear implant starts buzzing or the teleprompter type is too small or not spelled phonetically. He angrily pauses for it to be fixed. It gets worse. He snaps at somebody offstage. It gets worse.

He loses it and yells a string of obscenities at somebody back stage, then turns his back and stalks off stage.

Oh please oh please oh please oh pleeeeeeeeeese........

11. Seriously, will Bush make it to November?
Edited on Fri Aug-06-04 02:06 PM by rpalochko
He seems to be unraveling faster each day. Who knows what he may do,this is more than a little scary for the country.

16. I said a long time ago
That W can't go that long (really only three days as noted). It will probably get worser and worser especially if the med stories and hysterical outbreak stories are true.

13. He's worked 3 days in the last 2 weeks, give him a break!!

After spending most of last week on vacation at Crawford, then he went out funning it up on the campaign trail most of this week..

I think Bush has been at the White House doing a little work a couple days this week.. He's tired, so give the guy a break!!

Let him take the rest of August on vacation (like he did the last 3 years) and after several weeks vacation Bush will be ready for a few days at the office.
