Bush Back in His Hidey Hole Today - Will Be Incommunicado >>>

[Stephanie]

I think I get it. So "working vacation" means take eight days completely off, then give a quick speech, then take another day off. Is that it? What's he doing in there? Note he chose an unfinished resort for his vacation from his vacation - because he doesn't want any PEOPLE to be there, of course.

Monday's speech was the first of two Bush will deliver this week in an effort to build support for the conflict by reaffirming his commitment to help Iraq transition from tyranny to democracy and urging the public's patience with his policy. The second speech comes Wednesday when he speaks to military families in Nampa, Idaho.

After Monday's speech, Bush and his wife, Laura, flew to Donnelly, Idaho, where he was to spend Tuesday out of public view at the Tamarack Resort in the mountains 100 miles north of Boise.

the Tamarack Resort near Donnelly, Idaho, which is scheduled for completion in 2006.

1. Note that he's visiting a resort that's still under construction

Can't risk contact with any unscreened, unscripted human beings, now can we, Lil' Chimp?

[ohio_liberal]

2. Are they staying in the construction zone?

[hatrack]

5. HAH!

No, that whole "job site" thing might look a little bit too much like work to the Simian Dauphin. There's probably a secret marble-floored cabin off in the woods somewhere where he can stay.

18. Bush's visit was confirmed last Friday when it was getting hot in Crawford

3. Geez, what a sorry excuse for a man that is

what a coward.....get as far away as possible from the real world...the country is being split in two,,,the most polarized it has been since the Vietnam era, and Mr. Uniter not a Divider,,,hides from it............

[txindy]

4. I'm sorry, but that just conjures up a strong image

One of Saddam in a dirt hole. Now Junior is burrowing back into the earth, too. Fine by me. As long as it's not a nuclear (sorry, "nu-cu-lar") fallout shelter - because the implications of that are just too disturbing.

[Stephanie]

6. well they have been ranting on and on about the inevitable nuke attack

that CIA guy on 60 Minutes the other night said it would happen sooner than later - maybe BushCO thinks now's the time - maybe it would allow Dick to nuke Iran. Just thinking out loud. Don't mind me. I just remember what happened to my town the last time George went into hiding for such a long time.

[txindy]

10. I remember, too, that's why this is so unsettling

Who stays at an unfinished resort?! :shrug:

[thecrow]

13. Someone who has something to hide?

Someone meeting with another, who doesn't want prying eyes?
Someone who is a liar and not metting there at all?
Someone who is in denial? (I don't believe that it's not finished! I want to go there NOW!)

I choose the last.

[lonestarnot]

16. Checking out nuke for Idaho .... he's planning evil no doubt!

[SammyWinstonJack]

11. The little worm that he is.

"Now Junior is burrowing back into the earth, too." Or is that a badger?

[txindy]

12. I'm inclined towards the worm description, myself

Particularly as the badger can be kind of cute. Worms most definitely are NOT. ;)

[kansasblue]

7. excuse me.... It's called a spider hole.

8. Home of the deadly, but shy...

Hidey-spidey:)

[wtmusic]

9. It's sort of amusing

that a military mom could derail the president's vacation just by wanting to talk to him. Run away!

[SpiralHawk]

14. That fence should keep Cindy Sheehan and the other soldier's moms

at bay. The "commander in chief" can heave a sigh of relief behind his walls and gates.

After all, Bush and the Oil Republicans need some peace and quiet to count up the MASSIVE PROFITS they are making because of the SKYROCKETING oil and gas prices.

[DoYouEverWonder]

15. I guess it's getting too hot in Crawford

I hear August is a real bear down there.

[Supersedeas]

19. got to get out of public view ya know--the Press Conferences are taking a

toll.
