Will Recreate

I'm developing a real soft spot for Maureen Dowd. I always knew she was a good writer, but she's just so darn much more likeable when bashing a Bush. She's in good form in this Wednesday NYT OpEd column. The Bush family takes it's recreation seriously, and they really hate it when annoying reporters try to interrupt the recreation to talk about the wars they have started. W's proclivity for months long vacation was acquired honestly - after the old man started his Iraq war he took off for a well deserved vacation.
"I just don't like taking questions on serious matters on my vacation," the usually good-natured Bush senior barked at reporters on the golf course. "So I hope you'll understand if I, when I'm recreating, will recreate." His hot-tempered oldest son, who was golfing with his father that day, was even more irritated. "Hey! Hey!" W. snapped at reporters asking questions on the first tee. "Can't you wait until we finish hitting, at least?"

Junior always had his priorities straight.
And so it goes in Texas. GW won't let the collapse of his wars plans interfere with the important stuff. So what if a few more Americans and a few hundred more Iraqis get blown up every week:
...as W. reads a book about the history of salt and looks forward to his biking date with Lance Armstrong on Saturday.
No doubt Lance will be briefed on the first rule of riding with our leader - nobody catches up with, or passes, the President.

His father didn't invade Bagdad, he said, because he feared
...that America would get bogged down as "an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land," facing a possibly "barren" outcome.
Stupid kids always insist seeing what really happens when you touch your tongue to a frozen door knob.

Now watch this drive!
