Bush cuts short gig for TV fishing show
Bush cuts short gig for TV fishing show

CRAWFORD, Texas -- President Bush skipped a third round of fishing on Saturday with a crew from an outdoors show, though his performance the day before was something to brag about.

Then Saturday, as Martin and his crew cleaned the boat for another excursion on the pond, Bush's entourage pulled up.

"He said, 'Hey, Roland, sorry it didn't work out. I had things to do'," Martin recalled. "He really wanted to finish, but he had all his things to do." Karen says I can't come out to play today.

Still, Bush apparently went bicycling on Saturday. A half-dozen bikes cruised down a dirt path, trailed by a security detail of open carts and cars; such a motorcade shadows the president when he jogs there. Bush has been bicycling more since a painful right knee late last year Remember the Segway incident?forced him to cut back on his usual jogging.

The administration is sensitive to charges Bush is loafing at a time of chaos and bloodshed in Iraq. He is spending a week at his Crawford home, with no public appearances between Tuesday and Sunday.

1. If they were sensitive, they wouldn't have BOOKED the fish show.
They're always so surprised when there's a reaction.

4. I like the line from "An American President."
Michael Douglas (the prez) says (paraphrased): I used to think that Bob Rumsfeld (the repuke opponent) didn't get it. I was wrong. It's not that he doesn't get it. He gets it. HE JUST CAN'T SELL IT!
