You would think with everything falling apart all around him, W would have better things to do right now? He is a wartime pResident, after all?

1. That doesn't matter..

the main thing right now is to get Bush re-elected.

2. I hate to defend Bush

but Dean is attending fundraisers, so is Kerry, so is Gephardt, so is everybody.

3. Really?

What countries do they lead?

[Cocoa]

4. they're not the president

they're not getting daily terror briefings.

5. None of the others are the current POTUS

And just because they are campaigning, doesn't necessarily mean they aren't capable of governing at the same time.

If W wasn't so lazy otherwise, it wouldn't be an issue. The difference between W and most of the candidates that you mentioned, is that the only thing W does is fund raise and play cowboy.

6. Mopaul has this clever graphic of Bush as Cicero

Fiddling while Rome burned!

9. Nero

Cicero was an intellectual, a classic author, oratorically gifted and I believe, put to death.

7. Two questions.

Just exactly how much dough does chimpy think he needs to leave the Dems in the dust come 11/04? And..............
With the shitty economy and korporate amerika hemorraging red ink, how does he get all those korporate donations?

8. This administration is rotten to the core.

Dirty bastards.

10. He doesn't care

He just doesn't care...

11. has anyone ever calculated . . .

the total number of Bush fund raising days plus the total number of vacation days plus weekends during Chimpie's term of office? . . . I'm wondering if we're even getting 50% of his time . . . not that it's a problem for me, mind you . . . the less time he's at work, the less damage he can do . . . but you'd think he could at least want to keep up appearances . . .
