Nice work if you can get it
According to the guys over at Wonkette (it's a long story), today marks President Bush's three hundred and sixty fifth day of vacation in his five years in office. That's an entire fricking YEAR of vacation. One out of five. How can the most powerful man in the world manage to take one out of five years off? I mean, in the last five years, I've probably only taken 10% of that time off, and in 2005, I took exactly 12, count 'em TWELVE vacation days, not counting weekends and holidays. And that includes the week I took off in between jobs - I was technically unemployed!
Maybe "vacation" is a euphemism for his treatment days. Maybe without his treatments we'd have launched even more death, destruction and mayhem. Just a thought.
Well I, for one, am grateful. Just think of the mess we'd all be in if the eejit was working full time!
