Bush Plans to Return to Ranch in August

[kskiska]

WASHINGTON (AP) - Following the Congress in a midsummer exodus, President Bush plans a Texas ranch respite for several weeks, while Supreme Court nominee John Roberts has August to think about Senate confirmation hearings.

(snip)

It will be the president's 50th trip to the ranch since he was elected nearly five years ago.

McClellan said Bush looks forward to being able to ``shed the coat and tie'' at his more casual home near the small town of Crawford, Texas. Bush plans to travel to seven states from the ranch and hold at least 10 events to tout his agenda, including the war on terror and his economic priorities.

(snip)

Despite the stifling heat, Bush typically likes to spend time outdoors when he's at his ranch, doing things like clearing brush and riding his bike. McClellan said Bush will use that time to encourage other Americans to get physically active.

1. Meanwhile, soldiers are dying...

Whats he need a break from?

[DURHAM D]

2. I wonder if his loving children will join him ? eom

[dbonds]

3. Why is there so much brush on his ranch?

I get all nervous when he spends time there, especially when his poll numbers are low.

[Benhurst]

23. The "ranch" was really a pig farm. Pig farm- pig sh*t- lots of brush. NT

[meganmonkey]

32. He's really just 'picking up sticks'

They won't let him do anything else for fear that he will hurt himself.

But 'clearing brush' makes him feel more important.

}(

[cliss]

86. I don't really believe he likes to "clear brush"

I've read it's actually a PR ploy to make people think he's a "cowboy", or at least a "ranch hand"; a Good Ole Boy that the Working Man can identify with.

I've read his Public Relations people thought it would be a good idea to project this type of image.

There's nothing "Working class" about George Bush. There's no CLASS, period. He comes from a criminal family which spans several generations.

They have so much money that they've absconded from many sources, they'll never spend it.

But the one thing they DON'T have is -- -- class.

[saigon68]

111. A criminal family --- "THE BUSH CRIMINALS"

[LiberalFighter]

99. Too bad they don't have poison ivy or oak there

[Rambis]

4. Burp!

Time to down some scotch, clear some brush and crash some bikes!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. "A Texas ranch respite"? Respite from WHAT??

The sonofabitch never works as it is! What does he need "respite" from? Having to be more or less sober most of the time while he's at the White House, I imagine -- you ask me, he has to go to Crawford to visit his good friends Johnnie Walker and Jack Daniels. And this is his 50th -- FIFTIETH! trip to the pig farm in the last five years. Any of you guys had FIFTY vacations in the last five years?

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

8. Jack Daniels and Victor Ashe...

... who is the most frequent visitor to Crawdad Pig Farm.

[goclark]

68. Isn't good old Victor in Poland?

Ha ha ha

[dissent1977]

61. And those are just the vacations to his ranch

He has also taken vacations at Camp David and elsewhere. But you know "it's hard work" taking all those vacations.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

6. Any word on a 200 mile bike trip...

... for GW? :evilgrin:

7. Wish I could have a month off....

and I don't need to have bush encouraging me to be physically active. I have enough activity by working, housecleaning, cooking and every other damn thing I have to do because I don't have servants paid by the American people. He is such an asswipe I can't stand it.

[SpiralHawk]

9. Bush likes to ride his bike? Huh? He falls off of it regularly

whether he is at the Imperial Pig Farm Upon Crawford, or elsewhere. How much can he like smashing into the pavement with his face?

I mean, I am getting tired of reading about Bush's failures and crashes. Why doesn't he just watch some TV. Everyone will be much safer.

[JusticeForAll]

22. Watch TV with a big bowl of PRETZELS!!!

[MN ChimpH8R]

62. And a fifth of Jack.

Maybe he will go the way of Lupe Velez: http://www.quite.com/personal/cafeq/fdtextlupe.htm

[greatauntoftriplets]

10. what a shock!!!

Maybe the president of Colombia will bring him some good blow.

[aden_nak]

11. He's got a lot of friggin' brush. Has anyone else ever noticed that?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. I think he has somebody come out and plant it

so he can have his Manly Photo-Ops.

[aden_nak]

15. I wonder what he actually does all day.

Seriously. I mean, he clearly isn't on "the internets" or he'd know how many there are. And I can't imagine he trudges all the way down to the Oval Office just to watch T.V. So what, precisely, does he DO all day?

[Kurovski]

19. Where's Jeff Gannon when George goes down

to the raunch?

Anyone ever track Jeffies whereabouts in those time frames?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

57. He'll be there

Going down on to Georgie, to service him his needs.

[MisterP]

29. blank staring, eating bananas scattered on desk, wearing Burger King

crown, humping globe of Earth, humping Porfiro Diaz picture, comparing himself to King David and Alexander, plotting for his next lunatic plan, scheme, or nomination

[kestrel91316]

93. He doesn't read, he doesn't watch current events or TV,

obviously doesn't surf the internet or he would know more about the world. WTF is the man doing all day long when not in staged "brush-clearing" photo-ops??

Ask Jimmy/Jeff, ask Mr. Ashe, ask Mr. Daniels.

Heck, maybe he plays Nintendo all fucking day????

[ixion]

21. he has it stocked with brush

:evilgrin:

[aden_nak]

28. What's sad is that I am 100% ready to believe that.

[RevolutionStartsNow]

14. His 50th trip to the Ranch???

in 5 years? That's ridiculous.

But then, we knew that.

[aden_nak]

16. 50 trips in 55 months. Ponder that math.

[July]

112. 50 four- or five-week trips.

Not to mention his "weekends" (Thursday to Tuesday) at Camp David, visits to Kennebunkport, and photo ops abroad (e.g., pope's funeral).

It's got to add up to almost half of his time as Resident.

It's clear the guy has never learned anything about WORK.

[wake.up.america]

17. Ranch? What ranch?...

The country is going down the tubes, the economy sucks, people are dying in Iraq, etc, and Bush decides to take a break. It is hotter than hades in Crawford right now. I doubt he will be working outside much. Inside, he will be conferring with Rove to fiqure out a way to save Rove's
chubby behind

18. gee i`m 58 years old and i

throw around mailbags for 7-12 hours a day..gee i`m glad he cares that i should be physically active. can i have a month off to go bike riding and mow my lawn?

[Ilsa]

26. Good response. Shrub needs to understand that there

are many people with physically demanding jobs, and frequently, more than one of them. People are looking for rest and relief from financial strain, not trying to lower their split-time.

[Cha]

72. Don't forget the brush..bush clears

brush for photoops.

[WCGreen]

20. Man he takes a lot of time off......

[PurityOfEssence]

24. It's hard work

The guy's exhausted. Reading a dozen or so pages a day, holding office hours for at least the afternoon. Hell, it's hardly enough time to properly fuck the weak and racially challenged.

What's a patrician to do? The poor dear can hardly make it to happy hour; give him a break.

[kestrel91316]

96. Doesn't read AT ALL .........everything is spoon-fed to him by staff

[coda]

25. By default, he'll probably encourage scouting out all bike course hazards

but encouraging the need for attentiveness during PDBs would be nice, Scott.

[FreeStateDemocrat]

27. He deserves it, he has kicked the dems ass up one side and down the other

Reality check time, we have lost every fucking significant vote. He wins them all and don't even mention Bolton, who gives a shit and he'll end up being appointed anyhow. Bush with the help of the sellout democrats has turned the U.S. Treasury into an ATM for corporate America, in fact anything that US Inc. wants they have gotten. There is no effective opposition, the idiot can do anything he wants to do and the dems will call a press conference and whine and then get their ass handed to them again. It's over, we will be living in a one party country while the repukes have bleed it dry until we are all dead. DU has become a fantasy land, sign a petition, bitch, DU a poll, make a donation, pretend someone cares, and it doesn't make a bit of difference because they are too smart, too rich, and too powerful to be stopped. Piss on the admiral and call in the boats the war over and the rats have won.

[saskatoon]

66. To free state Democrat

Thank you. You have so succinctly put the situation as it really is on the table. It's hard to be faced with your HARD FACTS and hopefully you have given us renewed impetus to stand firm and fight on and never give ground. It will be hard indeed but we must go down fighting.

[Greenbeard]

30. so does that mean we all get a month off of work

I mean if all our so-called leaders get to take a vacation, shouldn't we???

Or perhaps we all just keep working hard during this month so we can get some new leaders :)

[schrodingers_cat]

31. Sounds good to me.....

Maybe he'll pull a bikey-Bono into a tree....I figure the more opportunity he has to inflict injury upon himself, the better. I wonder if they've considered field testing that high tech body armor on him first......couldn't think of a better candidate... all of those trees, shrubs, bike parts, well, they're HARD.:+ :freak:

[shantipriya]

33. Bush & BRUSH

If it were not for the family connections and stupid and idiotic electorate, clearing brush might be the only job Bush could have gotten!!!

[0007]

81. .....'ya can clean toilets with a brush, but the shakti involved

would be too much for junior.

[alcibiades_mystery]

34. Call it what it is: VACATION

Can't seem to get my mind off of you
Back here at home there's nothin' to do
Now that I'm away
I wish I'd stayed
Tomorrow's a day of mine that you won't be in

When you looked at me I should've run
But I thought it was just for fun
I see I was wrong
And I'm not so strong
I should've known all along that time would tell

A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I
Still haven't gotten over you yet

CHORUS
Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone

A week without you
Thought I'd forget
Two weeks without you and I
Still haven't gotten over you yet...

[daleo]

35. August at the ranch

Has been known to precede a pretty interesting September.

[Orsino]

36. Don't fly in September.

Hmmm.

[Dover]

37. Bush plans 50th ranch trip in five years

WASHINGTON (AP) — Following the Congress in a midsummer exodus, President Bush plans a Texas ranch respite for several weeks, while Supreme Court nominee John Roberts has August to think about Senate confirmation hearings.
White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Friday that Bush will leave after signing into law the Central American Free Trade Agreement that Congress gave final approval to earlier this week.

It will be the president's 50th trip to the ranch since he was elected nearly five years ago.

McClellan said Bush looks forward to being able to "shed the coat and tie" at his more casual home near the small town of Crawford, Texas. Bush plans to travel to seven states from the ranch and hold at least 10 events to tout his agenda, including the war on terror and his economic priorities.

Members of Congress can pick among meetings to reacquaint themselves with their constitutents, march in parades and attend barbecuers and, doubtless, take some official trips as well.

Bush's first speech from his away-from-Washington life will be Wednesday, just about 150 miles up the road in the Dallas suburb of Grapevine. Bush plans to speak to the American Legislative Exchange Council, a conservative-leaning, bipartisan group of state lawmakers and business leaders.

On Thursday, Bush plans to host Colombian President Alvaro Uribe at his ranch..cont'd

[phantom power]

38. I wonder if the saps who voted for him...

wish they could take 10 vacations per year.

[RobertSeattle]

39. Faux Ranch

Faux Texan (Born in Maine and went to Ivy League Schools)
Faux "Regular Guy" (Multi Millionaire plutocrat)
Faux "Career" that made him a “successful” businessman (Daddy's buddies made sure he'd be a "success")
Faux National Guard Service (What happened to all those missing records after all?)
Faux Christian (Based on deeds, not words)

[peacefreak]

74. Hey!

he wasn't whelped here. Babs spawned him in Connecticut. Bad enough that he comes to visit Poppy.

[Oreo]

40. I thought the war on terror was over?

The Global struggle against extremist ideology.
This is the same month-long vacation that he took before 9/11 :shrug:

Struggle is hell

[xxqqqzme]

42. no - 'struggle is hard work'

Struggle Against Violent Extremism - SAVE - see the savior is here

[xxqqqzme]

41. '...Colombian President Alvaro Uribe..'

bringing a some 'entertainment' in his diplomatic pouch!

[Gato Moteado]

55. no doubt about that

junior will be coked to the gills.

10 vacations per year. that's almost 1 per month. and some of these vacations are a month long! you know he heads back to the "ranch" for a little nose candy every month and that's what these "vacations" are.

[gatorboy]

43. So many vacations!

How very...French of him. :P

[The_Casual_Observer]

44. Hope he falls down again, in a pile of shit.

[WhiteTara]

69. nah, he got rid of the cows because

they kept sh*tting and he didn't like the piles lying around! :rofl:

edited for spelling

[Lisa]

75. naw, it was because people kept mistaking the piles ...

... for his Administration's policies. See, they'd go, "Here's a copy of Bush's postwar plan for Iraq -- he must have dropped it". They'd reach out to pick it up, and discover it was actually a cow patty.

And also, the cows kept laughing at him when his back was turned.

[Art_from_Ark]

80. So THAT'S where they got the idea for "La Vache Qui Rit" cheese!

Those sly French!

[WhiteTara]

83. LOL

:rofl:

[anotherdrew]

45. five years of this asshole already, hardly seems possible

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

46. When can he start writing "Mein Kampf II"

preferably from his prison cell?

[jayfish]

47. I Wish I Could Have Ten Vacations Per Year.

Even those of a "working":rofl: variety that * is so fond of.

[DemsUnite]

48. How about retiring and

movin' down...

[calimary]

54. Welcome to DU! Yep, can't wait til he moves down.

Especially in the afterlife...

:evilgrin:

[Robeson]

49. Ah, back to his Berchtesgaden retreat. Uh, I mean, the Ranch.

[Vinca]

50. Are there any animals on "the ranch" or is it just

W and his teeny weeny chainsaw?

[Patchuli]

88. Yeah, there's those "male horses" that *

keeps trying to "milk" per Laura! On the other hand, I heard Littleboots doesn't ride 'cause he's skeered of horses. Some 'cowboy' huh? LOL!

[smirkymonkey]

51. Why would anyone go to a ranch in TEXAS during the hottest

month of the year?

I really don't get it? Don't you think that if you could afford to go anywhere, you would at least go someplace near the ocean or a lake instead of some ugly, hot, dusty, brush covered ranch?

And WTF is he doing going on vacation again anyway? Lazy piece of crap!

[wakeme2008]

53. Only a Fucking idiot would go to Texas in Aug for a vacation

:rofl:

[Thor_MN]

89. I imagine Crawford in August is the closest analog he can get to hell

where he truly belongs. DC must seem cold to him, I think that the "hard work", having to put up with the frigid DC summer.

[kestrel91316]

98. Not so hot if you spend 100% of the time inside with a cold beer or 100

[MichiganVote]

52. 10 times a year we pay for this hack to play cowboy--excessive!

[Lisa]

90. and not only that, but you also have to pay for those Western-themed ...

... extravaganzas that Georgie hosts, complete with singing cowboys and ranch grub.

" "We have a really wonderful visit planned for them," first lady Laura Bush said last week. "We're going to have a chuck wagon out in the lawn with cowboys cooking. We're going to have beef tenderloin, of course, and pecan pie."

She added that the two couples will be serenaded by "a great little Texas swing band . . . who sing those great Western songs like 'Drifting Along with the Tumbling Tumbleweeds.' "
http://copleydc.com/Archives-2001/condon_11-12-01.htm

I'm sure the reaction of the visitors ranges from stunned disbelief to barely-concealed hilarity. For example, Russian President Putin:
"Just I had a hard time imagining how could a living person create such a masterpiece of cooking. A fantastic meal. And when I said so to the President, he said, indeed, this cannot be done except for in Texas."

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/11/20011115-4.html

[AValdoux]

56. It is not a ranch

1 : a large farm for raising horses, beef cattle, or sheep
2 : a farm or area devoted to a particular specialty

Merriam Webster

Everytime I hear them refer to his hideout as a ranch I want to puke. Here in Texas you have to be careful what you call a ranch or you will get laughed out of the feed store. He probably doesn't even know where the closest feed store is to his 'ranch'. Also there are zoning restrictions against having pigs (he has pigs, right?) in the rural area I live in. Also no trailer houses. They are viewed the same.

[Historic NY]

108. Were at war shouldn't he be in DC..............

oh wait it now that global struggle thing..........

[winston61]

58. I don't Bush actually owns the 'ranch'

I heard some time ago that George does not actually own the acreage in Crawford. That it was actually purchased by some other group and more or just gave it to George. Can anyone verify?

[demgrrrll]

59. This is vague but I heard the the Reverend Moon had something to do

with th purchase. I have no verification of that statement at this point but it is something I remember reading at least twice.

[dmr]

67. I found this:

http://www.sptimes.com/News/111901/news_pf/Columns/President_attracts_ne.shtml

President attracts new kind of crowd to tiny Crawford
By SARA FRITZ

© St. Petersburg Times, published November 19, 2001

- snip -

Bush loves his ranch, which he bought for an estimated $8-million while he was governor of Texas. He no longer owns the elegant home in Dallas that he lived in before moving into the Governor's Mansion in Austin.

Few journalists have ever been invited inside the gates of the Bush ranch, and the house is not visable from the road. Local shop owners discourage out-of-town visitors from even driving out to the gate. Owners of the surrounding farms have given the Secret Service access to their property to patrol the perimeter of the Bush ranch.

More ...

I read elsewhere that he bought the place in 1999 when he decided to run for president. I know his dad was wealthy at the time, but did he have that kind of money to spend? I suppose this purchase might be on his tax return for that year. :shrug:

[Lisa]

73. interesting ...

Whenever someone asked him about how much he'd paid, Bush would either get irritated or pretend he misunderstood the question ("Oh, it's not for sale").

I think he only visited the place a couple of times before the end of 2000 (once so the cameras could show him sauntering around the humble little green house where the original owners once lived ... meanwhile, his luxurious new custom-designed home was under construction, elsewhere on the property).

[kskiska]

104. Poppy didn't even own the Kennebunkport property

until just before he became Reagan's VP. It had been owned by one of the Walker relatives prior to that, though the family had spent time there. It became available at that time.

I remember when Poppy was president and no one seemed to know exactly where the Bushes were really from. He gave his address as a hotel room in Houston, I believe. When he was unexpectedly expelled from office, the media was musing on where he might go. He said he owned some land in Houston, but it seemed awfully small to build on. He did build his present house there, though.

[DoYouEverWonder]

60. I'm sure our troops in Iraq

would like a chance to shed the 100 pounds of gear they have to carry around or the heavy cloths they have to wear all the time in the 100+ degree heat.

Maybe Bu$h could spare a few minutes for a visit so he would have some empathy? Fucking idiot.

[saskatoon]

64. despite the heat bush likes to spend time oudoors

Lord, I'm not always asking you for favors but please let that Texas sun shine mightly down on Bush and we will all pray the sonofabitch doesn't get heat stroke. Amen!

[VegasWolf]

65. It's NOT a real ranch and Bush is NOT a real president. nt

[darkism]

70. Remember what happened...

...the LAST time he went to the "ranch" in August and his approval was in the tank... :scared:

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

77. I Have A Bad Feeling Something Terrible Is Coming n/t

[BeHereNow]

107. "Roger" that, and FUCK yeah!

Uzbekistan just asked us to leave
and Cheney told the military
to be prepared to attack Iran
if there is another "attack" on US soil.
I'm thinking it's going to get real scary, real soon.
Methinks Uzbekistan kicked us out because
THEY know Cheney was planning to use that
base to bomb the fuck out of Iran.
That would put them in a bad position
with their neighbors- now that they are
shuffling Bush off to the pig farm and
the traitors on the hill are going on a
five week recess, I think anything could happen
at this point. They've got their Patriot act ready
to swing, CAFTA, and their Hitlerian new SCOTUS
ready to go- and a whole mess of nasty
scandals like the ACLU FOIA requests for the rest of the
Abu Ghraib photos, Plame/Fitzgerald and the DMS
annoying them. Combine all that with low opinion polls and
the stage is perfectly set for another attack if
you ask me.
Plus Iran is the BIG plan, always has been.
All they need is something to justify the
attack, and that would be us getting hit again.
BHN

[Cha]

71. Better watch out!

Back in 2001 when bush's numbers were way down cause he hadn't done a god damned thing but cause trouble for our Country..9/11 happened.

Those twoheaded fascists get fat and lazy in August ..no time to alert the American People there may be terrorists using airplanes to fly into buildings.

[Gay Green]

114. This time cargo planes

with nuclear bombs in 'em.

:scared:

[Vickers]

76. "Bush will use that time to encourage other Americans to get..."

"... physically active."

How about you go and read a goddam book, you stupid fucking jackass.

No, you'll spend your time hiking your jeans up on your bandy legs, and bragging about the brush you clear at Pork Manor.

Oh, and take two aspirin before you go to sleep each night, it'll help with the hangovers. :eyes:

[Patchuli]

92. LOL!!!!!!!!!

I would like to nominate your post as funniest of the week!!!

hahahahahhaaaaaa "bandy legs!"

[Bluebear]

100. Hahahahahahaha

:rofl:

[Erika]

78. But he's performed such "hard work"

You know, "hard work".

[electron_blue]

79. Here's what I don't get: Texas in August

A whole month of it.

wtf? why? Could there possibly be a worse time to visit Texas? (okay, maybe July).

[UrbScotty]

82. Bush on vacation? I am SHOCKED!

:sarcasm:

[Ksec]

84. Id like to have the money hes spent on fuel to go back and forth

50 times? Holy sheeit.

[Patchuli]

97. You used to have that money...

they took it from you in taxes and we pay for these constant trips to the Pig Farm. :wtf: !

[nashville_brook]

85. WHERE can i find NUMBERs that compare bush's vacation days to every other

president's? i know he's got to be the all-time winner in terms of "personal days." 50th trip in five years? that's 10 trips a year. almost once a month. i can barely find one weekend a month to go and work at the in'law's. shesh.

hard work.

[AuntiBush]

87. Physically Active, huh. Why? So We Can Fight For His Profits/Oil?

And the horrific mess he's gotten our country in?

Hope he doesn't fall off that bike (again)! *special sarcasm* added - Jerk!

[Reciprocity]

95. I feel safer already.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

101. Barney breathing a sigh of relief - no more milking for awhile

Bush can go back to his stallion at the ranch.

[deadparrot]

102. He's scared of horses, for fuck's sake.

What percentage of his presidency will be spent in Crawford before it's all said and done, do you think?

:grr:

[ninkasi]

103. Oh, for pity's sake, it's not a ranch

no matter what he chooses to call it. Livestock...cattle, horses, etc., are raised on a ranch, and are normally a source of income. In East Texas, especially, there are more farms...watermelon, whatever. I'm a 5th generation Texan, and I would never refer to whatthehell ever he has in Crawford as a ranch.

He's a phony, he comes from a family of phonies, and we don't want him back here in Texas polluting the atmosphere when his "hard work" is done. Bad enough that Poppy and the she-devil who spawned him claim Houston as home.

As I said, I'm a native Texan, and if I could afford to escape the hell of a Texas August, I would do it gladly. And some of the ranchers I've known have had controlled burns of brush when it got out of control, rather than clearing a couple of hundred acres with a chain saw.

What a moran.

[Reciprocity]

105. I live in deep East Texas and ninkasi speaks the truth.n/t

[me b zola]

106. The puppeteers sent him to Crawford

Told him to pack while they make arrangement for their relocation to Argentina just in case those indictments come in.

Meanwhile, said puppeteers are making arrangements to make sure that no indictments will ever be issued.






I have an active imagination;)

[ClayZ]

109. Pray to the Gods of RELOCATION!

Your imagination is my friend. I have been imagining Mr. Fitzgerald with a big posse!

Thanks for a breath of fresh air!

[are_we_united_yet]

110. Stayyyyyyyy!

[symbolman]

113. He now clears Brush

with his bicycle - they just send him out for a ride and when he crashes the bike (as he invariably does) he flies over the handlebars and creates a wide swath of destruction in the Brush, breaking all that useless wood with his useless wooden head into small pieces.

While he's reeling from another 70 mph interior brainsmash into the forehead of his size 6 skull, they stand him up and tell him "We're going to play 'Pik up Stiks' now, won't that be FUN?" - and he obliges happily.

Later he goes fishing (the press are barred from photographing the event as he stands right there on the water, just like Jesus, don't need a boat or nuthin') - but without a fishing pole so he won't prick himself on a hook and get more infected than he already is, the boils are coming hard and fast with the RoveGate case looming - the SS tell him it's the latest technology, a "stealth" (invisible) fishing pole, so that the fish don't get scared away - so he stands there whipping his arm forward and back with nothing in his hands, reeling in to cast again, and again - a big smile on his scraped and bruised face (from a long day of Bicycle Brush Clearing), just waiting to catch one of those genetically engineered 60 lb bass, which have been stocked in the pond.

In the afternoon he "milks" a horse and then thinks about having the SS shoot it so it won't give him away to the media, but then makes a call to McClellan demanding that Scotty offer the Horse White House Press Credentials instead, but they have to say "Gannon" on them..

For dinner they invite one of their Favorite Pals to the Disneylike "ranch", a REAL PRINCE from Saudi Arabia, and offer him a BIG old side or Baby Back PORK ribs, doused in BBQ sauce which uses 40 weight oil as a base, along with yummy molasses.

The Prince brings a big bag filled with unmarked bills and fills up everyone's gas tank.

Later Cheney stops by and seems to be enjoying himself until Bush and the Prince get too playful, playing "keep away" with Cheney's new transplant cooler, which holds a heart harvested from a young Iraqi boy from Fallujah, and a six pack of Coors lite. The BBQ is almost ruined with Bush tosses the heart too hard and it lands on the grill, but Cheney is nonplussed and just tells the cook to add some sauteed onions and put it on a bun for a snack, as he has plenty more kiddie hearts - his trunk of his fine German limo is filled with coolers and organs on ice.

When the guests have been bedded down or left Bush goes into his gym and works on his Smirk for two hours, not wanting to be outdone by Cheney's sneer - poor Bush doesn't know that the sneer is caused by Cheney's actual form (Satan) wearing a "human" suit disguise that is at least one size too large - it constantly slips and shifts around on him, mostly on the face part, so one side or the other of his mouth is drooping. Satan (Cheney) had planned on getting a more perfect fitting disguise, but doesn't have the time, so much evil and misery to spread and so little time to spend between earth and Hell, and Congress..

Late at night, when Pickles and George have the lights out in the bedroom, Bush gets "frisky" and takes from his wife what the bible has insisted is his - much to his surprise she is frisky herself, making little animal noises that turn him on very much.. When he's "completed the Mission" he sighs contentedly and tells Pickles, "That lovemakin' was some of the best we've had - it felt like you were 20 years old again.."

Pickles turns on the light, rolls over, pulls off her Black Lone Ranger style eye covering pads and says, "What in the hell are you talking about? And where's Barney?" Both notice that Barney is in the corner of the room, whimpering, with his head down in his crotch, shivering.

Laura says, "Gee, I haven't seen him lick that much since I clocked you during the football game while you were eating pretzels and when you were out cold Barney was licking the salt offa you for an hour - I'd better get him some Preparation H, and YOU, YOU sleep in the barn tonight.."

So Bush picks up his favorite "pilly" (pillow) and toddles off to the barn with SS men in tow. He lays out a blanket in the trunk of the Presidential limo because it's more roomy, and with a sleepy, "Hey, it still smells like Jimmy Hoffa in here.." he drifts off to dreamland, thinking of a new day dawning tomorrow, or that lovely blast furnace morning breeze of 130 degrees - maybe he'd have the cook fry his eggs on the patio furniture in the morning, might be fun..

FROM: WHat I done on my Summer vacation while I rammed Bolton up all the Democrats asses who didn't seem to see it coming at all, the recess thing, even tho I've done it more than a dozen times & How when I got back to Washington there was a bill waiting for me to sign that said the President could now actually Pardon people for any crime, at any time - waaaay before he ever left office - if he ever DID..
