KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine, Aug. 24 -- President Bush returned to his parents' century-old oceanfront retreat here Thursday for the first time in his second term, putting aside the troubles of the world to some extent for a brief spell of fishing and family.

After a morning flight on Air Force One, Bush wasted little time getting started with his four-day weekend, heading out with his father, George H.W. Bush, and daughter Jenna for a fishing trip aboard Fidelity III, the former president's boat. No word on whether either angler-in-chief caught anything.

Bush takes pride in his Texas identity and often plays down his New England roots. Just this week, for instance, he playfully eschewed his family's home region in discussing Democratic Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman's independent campaign in Connecticut, saying he had no plans to go support Lieberman's bid. "I'm going to stay out of Connecticut," Bush said.

"You were born there," a reporter reminded him.

6. That's the sad thing

Alot of people don't. He's a Yankee that swaggers around like he's a true southerner. When he's actually one of those blue state elitists the right likes to whine about.

4. That reporter can give up ever being near the great man again

but I'm glad he said it. It's high time somebody did.

I certainly don't envy Stupid this particular R&R. I can imagine what the dynamics in that family are like.
