Over at the Daily Kos, Steve Gillard talks about The disappearing president
The White House won’t call it his month long vacation, because they plan to cover it with a bunch of day trips in August where he can “discuss” the economy. But in essence, Bush is out of the White House and plans to be out of the White House for the better part of six weeks.
He’ll pop in and out, of course, but one can bet most of his time will be spent clearing brush on his sheepless, cowless, purposeless ranch. While Ward 57 gets a bunch more wounded, and US troops patrol in Iraq, we can be assured that Bush will have nearly six weeks of downtime, enlivened by the odd trip or two.
