Bush's vacations: bad for America

[Cresent City Kid]

Rachel Maddow brougt this up the other night: notable events happened around the time of 3 of Bush's many long vacations.

In 2001, as the CIA picked up terrorist chatter and tried to pass along dire warnings, Bush was on vacation and saw no reason to cut it short.

In March of 2005, he hauled ass back to Washington to sign the Terry Shiavo bill. Yes, republicans promoting government interference in private health care matters.

Four months later he made up the lost vacation time as Katrina approched the Gulf Coast. He did leave the ranch, to have birthday cake with John McCain.

At least one Bush vacation is working out: the permanent one imposed by term limits. You keep clearing brush, George, we'll be cleaning up your mess.

1. "Yes, republicans promoting government interference in private health care matters."

Now they don't want "government run" healthcare.
