United States President George W. Bush returned to Washington after the briefest vacation in his history in the Oval Office…a mere ten days. While explaining the reason for his truncated idyll was that, "we live in troubled times", a still visibly tired and tense Mr. Bush then went on to address the cease fire between Israel and Lebanon, saying, "What's won is diplomacy has won." a statement that proves to us that the Lame Duck Republican still really needs more rest. After all, when a man with stellar oratory skills of George Bush engages in redundancy, we worry that he may not be at the top of his game.
And while redundancy in itself is usually no big problem, this website has long been famous for it's care and concern regarding the well being of Mr. Bush and quite frankly, we're worried. Not about Mr. Bush especially; in spite of our aforementioned care and concern we also think he's just an asshole puppet of the military/industrial complex who has the potential to destroy the planet if no one stops him. No, what we're actually worried about is that for the last five or so years Mr. Bush has taken at least a month off for a little rest and relaxation and look at where we are…can you imagine what will happen now without it?
Despite the fact that members of the liberal press (us) have excoriated Mr. Bush for his vacation time…year one, he left for the month of August and inadvertently missed a briefing or two warning about a possible terrorist attack. Luckily, he got back to work just in time to read children's books on the morning of 9/11. That was also the year he banned money for stem cell research. In 2002, he returned from vacation to address the United Nations. Saying that "Saddam Hussein has made the case against himself." George Bush began his march to that exemplar of good times, Gulf War II.
August 2003- with his job approval rating continuing to slip and 52% of Americans saying that the country was heading in the wrong direction and the search for WMD's proceeding well, Mr. Bush returned from his month long Crawford vacation to push his Healthy Forest Initiative, which advocated cutting down forests to save them. In 2004...he returned just in time for the Republican Presidential Convention. God, I don't even want to talk about that year. It's too depressing. Swift Boat Veterans, Evangelical Christians, Die Bolt. Ugh. Last year 2005 and as we all know, Mr. Bush's vacation was unfortunately interrupted by Hurricanes Rita, Katrina and Cindy (Sheehan), causing him to shave off three desperately needed days of rest.
Our point is this: if this is what George W. Bush does just after he returns from vacation and is presumably at his most relaxed and rested, can you imagine what he'll do if he's still tense? So please Mr. President, don't worry about what people who can never get or afford a vacation think. Take your well deserved time off…take two or three months. Get laid. We know you stopped drinking, but it's still okay to cut loose and get it out of your system somehow. Maybe take in a show or something. Whatever you do, for the good of the nation, stay away as long as possible. Please.
