Bush’s Vacations
According to Daily Kos, Kerry made the following jab at Bush for his latest vacation in Crawford:
“I notice President Bush is taking some days off down at Crawford, Texas, and I’m told that when he takes days off, you know, he totally relaxes: He doesn’t watch television, he doesn’t read the newspapers, he doesn’t make long-term plans, doesn’t worry about the economy. I thought about that for a moment. I said, sounds to me like it’s just like life in Washington, doesn’t it?”
I thought it was pretty funny, even if the punchline is pretty close to the same as Letterman’s from a Top Ten list in August 2003.
All joking aside, however, Atrios points out that the now famous PDB given to Bush on August 6, 2001, was followed the next day by a month long vacation to Crawford. According to the Washington Post (as of August 2003), Bush had been on vacation for 250 days, and had made 26 trips to Crawford, Texas. How about we all agree to send him back for an even longer vacation this coming November.
