WTF Is It Now?!?

IT'S NOT A MONTH-LONG VACATION, DAMMIT!
America's Dingleberry heads to Maine again this weekend, to raise money for Republican Sen. Susan Collins and to play golf and fish with his father, Bush-the-only-slightly-less-clueless. He'll return to Washington for his annual physical checkup before leaving Tuesday for his month-long vacation at his bogus movie-set "ranch," Compound W, the former pig farm near Crawford, Texas.

Laura's Lazy Loser won't return to Washington until around Labor Day, an absence of about four weeks. But WH spokes-tool Ari "the Liar" Fleischer brazenly insists that calling it a ''month-long vacation'' is inaccurate: the Ignorant Impotentate will be taking trips to 12 cities to raise money for Republican candidates (getting in a mention for his 'policy agenda' in order for the trips to be paid for by the taxpayers) and hosting Mexican President Vicente Fox at The Lazy W. He'll also make an appearance at an economic forum in Waco, Texas, on Aug. 13.

Uh huh. That's like me telling my boss "you can't count that as vacation time - I checked my email every morning!" and expecting to get away with it.

The whole "month-long vacation" thing is a touchy topic because his nursemaids don't want people to think he's coasting while the "war on terrorism" and economic jitters continue. Late-night comics are already poking fun. ''Bush jogged and played golf over the weekend,'' Jay Leno said last week on the Tonight Show. ''Thank God he got that out of the way before he takes his month-long vacation. Thank God we got that war and Middle East thing cleared up.''

David Letterman did a Top 10 list of signs the 'president' needs a vacation. No. 7 was: ''It's been what, two weeks since he went fishing?'' - From Yahoo news.



"President Bush is leaving the White House for a vacation. He's taking a month off. Yeah, take a break, you deserve it. But aides say that while on vacation, Bush will continue to make two or three speeches a week to make sure that the market keeps crashing." - Leno

"Bush was in Maine resting up for his month-long vacation in Texas. When he's on his ranch he likes to spend his time clearing brush and dumping stock." - Letterman
