Why do Bush vacations end in disaster?
I'm sure it's just a coincidence that Dubya's extensive vacations at his dirt-ranch in Texas so often end in disaster. I'm sure because I'm not some kinda conspiracy-nut.
But still. 9-11, the flooding of New Orleans..... ? you can't help wondering.
While Dubya kicked back on his annual 5 week break from the rigors of defending his disastrous, muddled, counter-productive, grand plan to protect the Free World from the Evil Evildoers of Evil, his spin-meisters were working overtime.
See, it wasn't really a VACATION, it was a relocation of the work site from the Oval Office, while some heretofore unmentioned renovation work was going on.

Okey-dokey, whatever you say.
After all the Shrub *must* have been working real hard, because he couldn't spare 10 minutes to meet with anti-war protestor Cindy Sheehan, to explain the 'noble cause' for which her soldier son died.
But wait! here comes a disaster!
No, New Orleans did not "dodge the bullet," even though Hurricane Katrina was a mere level 4 by the time it made landfall and was soon downgraded to a tropical storm. Which means massive flooding, and the city and the region and people trapped there are drowning.
Well, time for the Pres to kick the cow-pies off his boots and spring into action! -- oh wait, isn't he already in action? Working hard every day at the dirt-ranch? Isn't that what they told us?
Guess not, because the spin-meisters have now announced that the President is going to 'cut short' his (5 week) vacation to oversee the disaster relief efforts.
Is that guy dedicated or WHAT?!
Vacation, work, who can tell the difference, when you're the leader of the free world? (The rest of us can tell pretty easily)
