1. And yet just a bit ago on teevee he wasn't sure he'd bike....

said he probably would, and "hadn't made his mind up yet" about fishing...

C'mon, George, we KNOW about the new bike trails there--and you were just itching to try 'em...

What a lame duck this a'hole is...

[terrya]

2. And he's getting paid $400, 000 a year. Cushy job, eh?

[meganmonkey]

15. Dude, it's hard work!

:P

[soleft]

3. If one of those guys dared get ahead of him

What do you think, hot poker someplace not very nice?

[tridim]

4. Democrats windsurfing on their own time = BAD

Republicans biking on the taxpayer's dime = GOOD

[SammyWinstonJack]

7. Ain't that a kick in the head?

:shrug:

5. No closeups? Still looks Botoxed to me.

This picture and the one on the front page of the New York Times have him looking just a little different. Yesterday someone here posted comparison shots of Bush before the vacation and now, and the before shows deep ruts in his forehead. Is it the light, or has George had a little work done?

[Stephanie]

9. I posted it - he does look different, not sure why

6. Not to nitpick, but...

...that's Gov. Dirk Kempthorne with him in pic #3, not Dick Kempthorne. He may very well be a dick, but that isn't his name. C'mon, you yahoos at Yahoo!

(The only reason I know is because I lived in Idaho for 9 years. Thanks to two unbelievably shitty jobs I had while I was there it's not an experience I would care to repeat.)

8. I was surprised to see that he was out of Fort Boise

and not behind barbed wire and concrete bunkers

[KyndCulture]

10. fall dammit fall! it's not a * vacation without a facial laceration. nt

[kittenpants]

11. hell ya I'm working. I gotta put food on my family!

[Synnical]

12. Tuesday, Aug. 22, 2005?

Ah, my calender says Tuesday, Aug 23, 2005.

Also, didn't I see another thread that said the resort he's staying at isn't due to open until 2006? (Let me go look.)

[Stephanie]

13. here you go - press release from the resort >

[Synnical]

14. Yeah, that's the thread I was thinking of. So, it's under construction

[Stephanie]

16. Doesn't it look like The Shining?

that's a great photo, btw, thanks!

[Mad_Dem_X]

19. My first thought

"It's the Overlook Hotel!" LOL

[Synnical]

25. It is similar

Timberline Lodge in Oregon where the exterior shots of the hotel were shot for the movie.

:hi:

17. Maybe we should send Bush on his bike into Afghan hills to look for Osama

Good grief. This is getting embarassing.

And I hear he plans to meet with pro-war gold star families while there.

[Ganja Ninja]

18. Hey! He's gotta get on with his life..... of leisure and privilege. n/t

[BlueJac]

20. Handlebar accident

Just hoping, wonder where the bar would be sticking?



:woohoo:

22. MSNBC says Bush's biking buddy Lance Armstrong is under investigation

for using performance enhancing drugs in the Tour-De-France.

No wonder Lance was sucking up to the Chimp, he's probably looking for help from the state department.

23. Northwest News report of Bush activities (link)

News report: "First full day in Idaho. Calm compared to activity yestersay. High security. Few allowed in Lake Tamarack resort. Others gathering in area at base of resort. First sight of airborne entourage. Landed by first hole at golf resort...known to be early to bed early to rise...early morning breakfast...fun things planned for day...Idaho News 7 report..."

24. What happens if a SS agent passes the 60 year old King, are they shot?

(Sorry, "60" in ten month's).

Would his ego have a terrible collapse, or would he just throw one of his tantrums?
