Politics: Ruining His Vacation

A puff piece in today's Dallas Morning News really makes me weep for President Bush. The headline is a tearjerker: "Bush Gets No Break from Foreign Crises."

The story then proceeds to run down the various plans that Bush had to do campaign-style sh*t while vacationing on his ranch, and how bloody bomb attacks kept ruining his plans.

Perhaps if the president didn't spend the entire month of August on vacation, hoovering up filthy lucre from the scum of the corporate earth, and fooling exactly no-one about his incredibly bad environmental record, then we wouldn't have to read a pair of experts tut-tut about how it's hard to be president. Is it? Really? Who'd a thunk it?

Dig deep and you will see that there is content in the story. But it is of the Dallas Morning News variety, where the nine Democratic contenders are derided as not having the chops to be war presidents. This is after you hear also-Ari Scott McClellan talk about how terrorists hate freedom and blah blah blah. Get a new rap, fatty, that one's beat.
