Bush hits Congress for going on vacation

and then takes one himself.

Bush: “And now they have left Washington for spring recess without finishing the work. Democrat leaders in Congress seem more interested in fighting political battles in Washington than providing our troops what they need to fight the battles in Iraq.”

CNN’s Elaine Quijano: “We should mention President Bush is heading to his ranch in Crawford, Texas tomorrow to begin his own Easter weekend break.”

Watch the two clips at link:

1. He is the vacationer
He has always been the vacationer, the decider part is only a side show.

He has taken more time off than any president before him, Just imagine what more he would have fucked up if he had been in the White House all those times he was in Crawford.

9. Yep. Easter on Sunday. Gotta find his Easter basket on WEDNESDAY.
So this week is a two-day work week. Bet he doesn't get back on Monday, either.

2. Hypocrisy: Republicans have nothing if they don't have hypocrisy.
We should flood the switchboard at the White House with complaints about * criticizing Congress for something, and then turning right around and doing it himself!

3. Hypocrisy is no doubt the 'pukes' primary attribute followed by mendacity,
duplicity, disingenuousness, sanctimony, reichousness, obfuscation, doublespeak, greed, lust for total power, chicanery, and outright lying, not in this particular order.

4. little lord pissypants criticizing anyone for taking vacation
is ludicrous beyond all belief.

How the asshats in the media can glibly fail to call the turd-in-chief on this is even further beyond belief.

7. Funny how the GOP/Media Establishment is so hesitant to connect the dots
Stenographers with no analytical skills but immaculant hair.

8. Bush needs a tutor while he's vacationing, when he comes back
perhaps he can speak a coherent English sentence.

His photo-op in the Rose Garden was abominable.
