1. WTF? n/t

[Dulcinea]

47. Is he living in his own private Idaho?

couldn't resist!

[peekaloo]

55. lol....that was my first thought, too.

:silly:

[HeeBGBz]

52. When are those nuke exercises again?

:tinfoilhat:

[Carolab]

64. The 23rd. n/t

[earth mom]

67. There are nuke exercises tomorrow-the 17th-in North Carolina.

But I hadn't heard about any on the 23rd. Do you have a link for more info? Or specifically where the exercises are to be held?

TIA! :tinfoilhat:

[Carolab]

68. From FEMA's website for Region IV.

I'll try to find it again.

Location was @ten miles from Charleston on a train track that starts at the Charleston Harbor.

[Straight Shooter]

2. Run, Commander Bunnypants, run, run, run!

You can run but you can't hide :7

[Rebellious Republican]

8. Where is BOSSHOG when you need him, I bet he has the skinny

on the VFW's position on the war. Disabled veterans issues should be at the forefront, since Bush has cut back funding for them.

[OneTwentyoNine]

45. Are we to believe that he's going to leave all the brush behind?

Hell,that was the purpose of this little get-away,got to clear brush like Saint Ronnie used to.

[Dogmudgeon]

3. But it was pre-planned! Months in advance! Honest it was!

--p!

[liberalitch]

60. But sunday on CNN they said there was no schedule....

[PatrioticLeftie]

4. What? No!

I'm leaving for Idaho tomorrow, I don't want to be in the same state as him!

[tanyev]

69. Think of it this way.

If anything does happen, the safest place to be will be somewhere near George Bush.

[JDPriestly]

5. Do we have any members near Boise?

How about a Camp Casey in Donnelly. Wonder when he decided on this little outing? Is he running away from a grieving mother?

I'm sure people in the agricultural community of Nampa are really scared that terrorists are going to attack their community. That's no doubt their most pressing concern.

[bluedog]

6. going to a "friendly" pre screened group no doubt!

"can't stand the heat.he gets out of the kitchen...what a wimping chicken POS he is.....run bunny run.....

[Bellamia]

42. Sing along with me........

"There goes Georgie Cotton tail.
Hoppin down the Bunny trail".....COWARD!!!!!!!!

[OneTwentyoNine]

7. Getting a little hot in the kitchen, huh George??

Oh,just decided to make his FIRST trip to Idaho. This guy supposedly leads the free World but can't stand toe to toe with a dead soldiers mother??

[bluedog]

9. 1st trip since cllinton went (2000)

In the Nov. 2, 2004 election, Bush won 68 percent of the Idaho vote, along with 43 out of 44 counties.

"Our state has been a bastion of support for the president," said Gov. Dirk Kempthorne, R-Idaho, in a prepared statement. "Idahoans have stood at his side in his support of our troops and his work to help the national economy recover."

This would be the first presidential visit to Idaho since
Bill Clinton came to McCall during 2000, when large fires burned more than 250,000 acres in the regio

[MO_Dem]

20. Heeheee

Does this suggest that Boosh may be trying to "walk in Clinton's footsteps" to bail himself out of his troubles? I mean, Clinton's popularity held, while Boosh's is deteriorating. It would be so funny if that is what Boosh is now trying to do, after going overboard to be the "anti-Clinton".

Oh, Monicaaaaaa, Boosh needs your help!

[Cha]

27. I wouldn't brag on that stupid..

the only thing more Stupid than bush is a bush supporter.

[raccoon]

73. Exactly what I was thinking, he's just trying to get away from Cindy. nt

[Up2Late]

10. HAAAAA HAAAA HAAA HAAA! And it's his FIRST TRIP to IDAHO!

WTF? :wtf:Isn't Idaho a Red State? Why has he never gone there? Is it just too close to Canada?:crazy:

[AntiCoup2K4]

15. Idaho is about a red of a state as you can get.

Virtually no chance of it ever turning blue, and not enough electoral votes to fight over. That's why it's not a popular campaign destination.

No doubt the Chimp picked it because it's the least likely place for a protest like "Camp Casey".

[Roland99]

39. A lot of Mark Furman types up that way.

[leesa]

57. He's probably going to his White Supremacists annual barbecue

[Stinky The Clown]

11. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Out of one hidey hole and quick azza bunny down another.

Run, Georgie, Run.

Wee Cowboy gets his boot laces tied together by a meek liddle mom and he falls flat on his simian face.

[BrightKnight]

12. run chickenhawk, run! -- n/t

[Gregorian]

46. OMG!

Too good.

[Child_Of_Isis]

18. Must be nice to run around and vacation everywhere.

On our dime, even.

[enough]

19. Stay holed up, or try to escape -- it doesn't matter, whatever he does

he looks like a coward.

[BamaLefty]

21. Isn't Kerry In Ketchum, ID Right Now?

I'd love for Kerry to meet Bush in a dark alley. :evilgrin:

Get 'em John. . .

[havocmom]

30. Why, yes, I believe so. He stopped in Helena, MT on his way last week

Got a big round of applause in the State Capital building from what I read.

[TayTay]

32. Yeah, he is in Ketchum, Idaho I believe

Teresa has a house there. Kerry is there through this week, at least.

[BamaLefty]

49. Yeah

I read it in the Montana DU forum.

[OneTwentyoNine]

22. Hmmm...same thing he did in the National Guard...

Except he RAN a different direction.....

[librechik]

23. We need a Camp Casey Utah and Idaho!

SLC and Boise activists, heads up!

[Jim Sagle]

24. Chicken in Chief...

[Cha]

25. ORWELLIAN SHITE!!

STOP IT, RIGHT NOW!!

It's an Invasion of Iraq based on LIES! CALL IT WHAT IT IS!

bush CREATED THE TERRORISM!

Scared little turtle is running off to Idaho, eh?

Figures there won't be any Democrats or Gold Star Mothers named Cindy Sheehan to question his LIES?

I guess the reporters will follow him?

[bvar22]

26. Where was it he ran to on 9-11?

He left a trail of yellow urine across 1/2 of America looking for a place to hide.

"I was just trying to get out of harm's way." ---gwbush*

[bluedog]

35. ran like the crap down his leg!

and flew to Offutt Air Force Base near Omaha, Neb., headquarters of the Strategic Air Command, to convene a meeting of the National Security Council via teleconference.

His trip to Omaha on Air Force One followed a hastily scheduled televised address to nation by Bush from Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. He went there after canceling an education speech planned for Florida.

[KansDem]

77. My dream T-shirt, inspired by those ones you can buy at rock concerts

Washington, DC

Gettin' out of harm's way!

[rzemanfl]

28. CALLING MICHAEL MOORE! Take some of that F 9/11 money

charter a plane and fly Cindy to Idaho!

[AntiCoup2K4]

29. Uh, better charter a BUS!

Small planes are the last thing Cindy Sheehan needs to be on right now :tinfoilhat:

[rzemanfl]

34. Okay, charter three planes, no way they are going to be able to

get away with that.

[Robeson]

31. Well, he'll definitely avoid Dems in Idaho.

[bluedog]

33. "he can Run.but he can't hide"

isn't that what * said about bin laden?

[FrenchieCat]

36. Cutting and Running?

Well I do declare! George Bush; the cut and run chimp!

[LittleClarkie]

37. Oh great, I think Kerry's there too

Hope they get into a fist fight.

38. "Brave, brave Sir Robin. Bravely ran away, away. Bravely ran away!"

[Mad_Dem_X]

70. LOL! "I didn't!"

[OneTwentyoNine]

40. Oh oh....I'll bet Larry Northern's asshole just puckered.....

Larry was probably figuring his hero would come running down to the jail and have all charges dropped and his good name re-instated.

Well,looks like Chimp is leaving you high and dry Larry.....


YEOW!!

[rocktivity]

41. Idaho, you know what to do!

But what should Cindy do? Tag along?

:headbang:
rocknation

[SeattleVet]

43. Let me see if I have this straight...

it looks like he's actually going to be taking a vacation from his vacation.

"President Bush will make his first trip to Idaho next week, spending Monday evening and Tuesday vacationing in the lake and resort region near Donnelly and then speaking about the war against terrorism at the agricultural community of Nampa on Wednesday."

Yep, that's what he's doing! <boggle!>

It's hard work, I tell ya. Really hard work, filling 5 full weeks of vacation. Gotta go raise them funds now, have no time even for a quick chat. Hard work, I'm tellin' ya.

Wonder what kind of reception the VFW will be giving him, after all of the cutbacks on funding for veteran's services.

[DoYouEverWonder]

44. Duck and cover folks

Bush almost never, ever stays over night outside of his own safe houses unless he has no choice, like a G8 Summit or something.

One of the only other times he stayed over night somewhere was in Florida on 9/10/01. Something must be up or maybe Cindy is just putting a big crimp in the chimp's style?

[HeeBGBz]

53. The nuke exercises was my first thought

I guess they were my second thought too.

[Carolab]

65. Mine as well. n/t

[IDemo]

48. I live in Boise

Bush is coming to Nampa only because of the 'Idaho Center', an event center large enough for him to star in a self-worship/Iraq War gala with the Idaho National Guard.

Donnelly is a tiny dot on the map next to Cascade Lake (actually a man-made reservoir), the site of the new Tamarack Resort, which is where Chimp is headed for more mountain biking.

Governor Kempthorne actually had concrete barricades placed around the Idaho Capitol building to protect it against possible terrorist attacks, a move he was rightly criticized and laughed at strongly enough for him to remove the barricades.

Molly Ivins is fond of writing about the inanities emanating from the Texas Statehouse, but I'd bet her jaw would be left gaping after a session in Boise.

We Dems do exist here, but it's not easy.

IDemo reporting.

[leesa]

58. Isn't a lot of Idaho on fire right now with no NG to help fight it?

[SledDriver]

50. I hope those VFW guys stand up and give * the salute he deserves...

the single finger kind.

:patriot:

[IndianaGreen]

51. Nampa, Idaho... racial breakdown

54. There's more brush to clear in Idaho. nt

[leesa]

56. Run away! Run Away! Run Away!

59. Bush will need another vacation when he gets back to DC.

Bush has to go on with his life? hahahahahha... Cindy could never happened at a better time!

[NVMojo]

61. Hey, that's only about 3 hours from me! I will camp out with any DUers

[opihimoimoi]

62. The GUTLESS WIMP runs away from a NIGHTMARE..BWAHahahahaha

[Carolab]

66. How close is Mountain Home Air Force Base?

{snip}

One thing working in Mountain Home's favor, boosters say, is the fighter wing has already fought battles against rogue regimes. The base's three fighter squadrons have fought in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The 391st Fighter Squadron did a four-month deployment in Iraq beginning in March 2003. Two squadrons -- the 389th and the 391st -- fought the Taliban in Afghanistan from September 2001 to February 2002. The 390th Fighter Squadron has participated in Operation Noble Eagle -- military air patrols over major American cities -- six times since February 2002. Also on the plus side is the base's high-tech training range over the Owyhee Desert. The range was upgraded in the late 1990s when the 11,300-acre Juniper Butte bombing range was added to supplement the 109,466-acre Saylor Creek bombing range. Located just a few flight minutes away from the base, the two bombing ranges allow pilots to hone their skills against lifelike targets, such as a simulated airfield and building complexes, and evade simulated threats.

The training range is far from the most heavily traveled commercial and private airplane flight lanes, which means military pilots pretty much have the sky to themselves. And other branches of the military use the training range, which is in keeping with Rumsfeld's goal of increasing joint operations.

"We've worked to make it one of the best training ranges in the Air Force," said Bill Richey, Gov. Dirk Kempthorne's special assistant for military affairs and a retired Air Force colonel. "Not only do they train locally but you have joint training missions take place -- like Navy and Air Force AWACS from Tinker Air Force Base."

Yet another positive for Mountain Home, is that its infrastructure is in good shape. In recent years the Air Force has rebuilt all the base's ramps and runways and much of its housing.
