How ah spent muh summer vacation
by George Dumbya Bush

Saturday evening – the day before Easter – the White House conveniently released the Aug. 6, 2001 Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB) titled Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in U.S. But the clever timing of this release can not hide the Bush administration's failure to act decisively in attempting to thwart al Qaeda activities in the United States prior to 9/11. The administration was explicitly warned in this memo that something big was coming.

Right after getting the Aug. 6 PDB, Bunnypants went outside to play
On August 6, 2001, reports Newsday, "It was a classic dog day of summer in Crawford, Texas. Despite the 100-degree temperature on Aug. 6, 2001, pResident George W. Bush laced up his running shoes to go for a four-mile jog, roamed his sprawling ranch and fished a pond for bass. Bush was on a working vacation, about as close to a real vacation as presidents get. On that day, after a dusty morning run, the president put on faded jeans with a big belt buckle, a short-sleeved, button-down shirt, cowboy boots to get down to work. He met with aides for 45 minutes. He took the call from Rice."

Did he then call the FBI, CIA, or organize a conference call to advisors? Nope. "Bush put on a white cowboy hat and drove his pickup to the canyons. He was building a nature walk."
