turd blossom on vacation .....

turd blossom on vacation .....

On Thursday, bushit left for a weekend in Kennebunkport, Maine, and his family's summer compound, Walker's Point. On Monday, he heads to his Crawford retreat, where he has spent all or part of 418 days of his presidency, according to Mark Knoller, a CBS News White House correspondent and meticulous record-keeper.

The presidential vacation-time record holder is the late Ronald Reagan, who tallied 436 days in his two terms. At 418 days, and with 17 months to go in his presidency, bushit is going to beat that easily.

A recent survey by Yahoo Hot Jobs found nearly half of American workers did not take all of their vacation days last year.

I guess you could look at it this way - the more he's on vacation, the less damage he can do to the country.

And with the departure of Karl “Machiavelli” Rove, turd blossom will doubtless be on permanent vacation.

Last night the ABC news

Last night the ABC news reader announced a late item... 16,000 US and Iraqi troops were having an "offensive" in Bagdhad, specially the Sadr City, "with close ties with Iran"... No mention of this in this morning news except:

Iraq's deputy oil minister kidnapped

Posted 1 hour 25 minutes ago

Gunmen dressed as local security forces stormed into a heavily guarded state compound in Baghdad to kidnap the deputy oil minister in the highest profile abduction in Iraq for months.

Deputy Oil Minister Abdel Jabar al-Wagaa was dragged out of the compound of the state oil marketing company at gunpoint with several other people in broad daylight, oil ministry officials said.

"At 4:00 pm a gang wearing Iraqi security uniforms broke into the compound and kidnapped five employees, including al-Wagaa," Oil Minister Hussein al-Shahristani told state television.

He said some of the hostages had already been released, but did not say if Mr Wagaa was among them.

"We marshalled all our forces and are carrying out raids on various hideouts, and some of the hostages have been freed," he said.

"It was a criminal gang; they have no political or sectarian motives," Shahristani said.

Gus: Things are "improving"... Desperadoes in Iraq are getting more desperate... Bush and Rove included, so the US must be winning... Tragically sad for the many people who have nothing to do with anything but surviving as they can in a situation created exclusively by the US invasion. Saddam was a mad man sure... But the result of the oil-well intended Mr Bush is that of madder man misunderstanding his actions that too many sane people have praised. Our PM included

Vote Howard and his cronies out.
