OK, NOW I'll say something bad about Bush staying on vacation

[Streetdoc270]

He sends Powell to the embassies to sign the condolence books, when HE should be doing it in PERSON! After all he supposedly 'represents' America not Powell... grrrr....

[Goldeneye]

1. He's sending his brother too...now thats a real sacrafice.

[unpossibles]

2. at least Powell knows how to conduct himself

and how to zip his own fly. Less embarrassing this way.

[Dr.Phool]

3. And Jeb says he's not running for Prez in 2008.

Yeah Right.

[AgadorSparticus]

4. he can't be bothered. he's much too busy getting geared up to be

the belle of the ball. he has 2 big speeches coming up that is sending his psyche into an oxyfrenzy. he has to hit them both to stop from hemorraghing. and we know how well he does under pressure....

[Vidar]

16. Not to mention memorizing "My Pet Goat".

[Pam-Moby]

5. Yes, but *ush is to busy

with all the family plans. Then he has to set plans for the new yaht. So he can take nice trips in it. :puke: :puke:

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. I see the summer spent on the pResidential yacht.

No pig farm for the Chimp this summer, it's yachting time for the "plain spoken man of the people" pRes. :puke:

[YIMA]

6. I also heard Kofi Annan stayed on his ski vacation.

What is it with these people? Don't they realize people are in need?

[idiosyncratic]

7. I heard a lot from Kofi Annan. I don't think he stayed on vacation.

n/t

[bpilgrim]

8. he hasn't said a WORD in over 4 days, wow!

he's WORSE than our THUG :wow:

thanks for pass'n the word :toast:

peace

[maduroftime]

10. He did stay on vacation

Justified it by saying with the global communications as they were he could keep in constant contact on the ski slopes...

This is getting frustrating, millions of people dying from disaster, disease, famine after the tsunami and our world leaders would either lounge around or ski and sip cocoa

edit: grammar

18. Maybe you should inform the news services of their errors

International aid pledges for the disaster zone surpassed $500-million (U.S.) yesterday after Britain and the World Bank announced major new efforts. But UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said much more would be needed.

"This is an unprecedented global catastrophe, and it requires an unprecedented global response," he said after returning to the UN from holidays to chair a series of aid meetings.

He had a press conference yesterday. It was on C-Span. He was not on vacation at the time.

[salin]

12. I thought I read that he cut his vacation short

in order to come back to hq to monitor the situation. Was this wrong info?

[Spazito]

13. Annan did NOT stay on vacation...

he returned to the UN. This lie is being spread far and wide in a pathetic attempt to mitigate bush's negligence in responding to the disaster and his heartless and late response.

[0007]

15. About a link to back up your talk?

[Judi Lynn]

17. There's a thread on Kofi Annan already.

Maybe your charges would be more appropriate there, and wouldn't serve to change the subject of this thread:

9. yep that's tacky , with money doesn't come class

[indepat]

11. Don't be too harsh: priorities must be kept in order
