7. Getting in a little tanning time while he's campaigning?

Could be related to this: Bush spending little time at White House.

Excerpts:

Bush has not spent a full day in Washington since Aug. 2 -- roaming the country rather than staying in the Oval Office as he seeks a second term.

(snippage)

The number of Bush travel days has been in double digits every month since February. And Bush has spent just a handful of full days in Washington all summer long -- just 10 since Memorial Day.

Bush aides, always loath to acknowledge political calculation behind the president's decisions or schedule, say the travel is nothing more than a continuation of normal practice.

"The president has always traveled outside of Washington to discuss his agenda with people across the country," Bush spokeswoman Claire Buchan said. "As the election approaches, the president is enjoying talking about the issues facing the nation, his record of accomplishment and his vision for the future."

Um, shouldn't that be downplaying? Or maybe distorting would be a more accurate (and better) choice.

Indeed, Bush seems to bask in the attention from the supporters-only crowds he speaks to on the road. And a venue that the Bush campaign uses frequently -- the "Ask President Bush" format in which the president, mike in hand, casually and with lots of humor, interacts with his audience -- plays to his strengths as a campaigner.

Of course, that means "strength" as in, "Hey, he does really well when he's in an environment that's totally scripted and he's provided answers to the questions that are handed out to audience members to ask!"

9. 10 days in Washington all summer. Meanwhile they are screaming "TERRA"

They have virtually promised us a terror attack before the election. But Bush can't be bothered to attend to business in DC. So either they are lying about the threat, or Bush has no interest in protecting us from it.

10. George: "I see spots in front of my eyes..."

"Have you seen a doctor?"

George: "No, just spots..."
