Bush Complaint: "Another Ruined Vacation"
<sarcasm>

When Bush heard New Orleans was under water, he complained that these things always happen when he's on vacation. "First it was September 11th, then it was the tsunami," he lamented. "Another ruined vacation!"

Staffers reminded the president that the reason things seem to happen while he's on vacation is that he spends so much time on vacation. Mr. Bush got indignant. "What do you mean?" he roared. "Clearing brush is hard work."

/<sarcasm>

6. Note the Mark-up Tags
No, he didn't really say that. Note the mark-up tags, one for <sarcasm> and one removing it - </sarcasm>.

7. Poor *....
So much need for vacation, so little time. Makes me almost feel sorry for him. Almost... :sarcasm:

Maybe he should try clearing debris, like people got to do after 9/11 and will be doing for months after Katrina. That'd set him straight pretty quick.

8. Heh. You and the Onion are tapping the same vibe...

Bush: Vacation Ruined By 'Stupid Dead Soldier'

...snip...

When asked why he has refused to meet with Mrs. Sheehan, Bush said, "Listen, I came here to relax. I want to fish, go biking with Lance Armstrong, play with my dogs, chainsaw some brush, and get back to nature. 'Course, it's hard to do that when you have to constantly listen to the mother of some dummy who didn't have sense enough to stay out of a damned war zone."

Bush added: "I'm more exhausted today than I was when I started this vacation."

...snip...

"We're supposed to be over there showing the Iraqis how to get it done, not acting just as dumb as they are with all their stupid dying," Bush added. "I tell you, it feels like every other month since I started this job, somebody gets himself killed just to mess up my holiday."
