Bush Notified at Texas Ranch of Virgin Atlantic Jet's Diversion

BLOOMBERG NEWS

Bush Notified at Texas Ranch of Virgin Atlantic Jet's Diversion

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=email_us&refer=canada&sid=alDtobncaZMo

June 3 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush was notified at his Crawford, Texas ranch that a U.S.-bound Virgin Atlantic flight had been diverted over the ocean after authorities received what turned out to be a false hijacking alert, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.

Bush was clearing brush when he was notified following procedures put into place after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, McClellan told reporters. ``We had officials, senior staff that was here with the president, including the deputy chief of staff and the president's military aide, that participated in various calls regarding the situation as well,'' McClellan said.

5. He'd actually have to show up there once in awhile, and DO HIS FARKING JOB
for him to be notified there in the event of an emergency. But since he;s never there, they can't notify him there.

4. He's at the ranch again.
Why doesn't he just sublet the White House? He doesn't use it anyway ... and they could use the money to buy body armor for our troops. :eyes:

6. This was all over the airwaves today - idiot son 'notified'
Obviously they fucked it up the last time when he was out riding his tricycle around the block and ringing that little thumb bell by the hand grip streamers and wearing his little cowboy hat and boots.

So today its news that he was notified ...... like he might actually give a shit.

That pig farm strikes me as another Neverland Ranch .... but the 'boys' are probably older.

12. I wonder that too
I don't get it. Why no animals? Not even sheep!!! :shrug: Is he afraid of every animal? Can't he have helpers on his ranch or something? I know he's afraid of horses but gosh. He could have a few little animals, right? Why else is it called a ranch? Oy.

13. How much brush is there on the Potemkin "ranch"?
Do they have to keep planting more so Boy George can have something to clear? Or is it just phony plastic brush, bigger versions of those little toy trees you get for electric train sets, that they can move around like stage props?

8. Clearing Brush? Art Thou Kiddething Me?
Amazing. People still fall for this nonsense.

Brush must be a code name for the liquor cabinet.
