Heard this from my Libertarian boss this morning, he said he heard it yesterday but not where.
Is this meme going out on RW talk shows? Is it getting traction?

(9,983 posts)With today's technology, our man can get his daily update sitting on the can, taking a Presidential dump (Encrypted feed to his "smarter than your" phone) If face-to-face is absolutely required ? "Jump in the car with me - we have a 20 minute ride, you can fill me in!" The back seat of the Caddy "Monster" is more secure than Cheney's bunker.

It is worth noting that it's been reported W didn't attend meetings or read his briefings, his policy was just to tell people to let him know if they saw any red flags. Didn't work out too well for us, did it.
