President BRUSH (tm) plans 50th ranch trip in five years
Bush plans 50th ranch trip in five years

WASHINGTON (AP) — Following the Congress in a midsummer exodus, President Bush plans a Texas ranch respite for several weeks, while Supreme Court nominee John Roberts has August to think about Senate confirmation hearings.

White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Friday that Bush will leave after signing into law the Central American Free Trade Agreement that Congress gave final approval to earlier this week.

It will be the president's 50th trip to the ranch since he was elected nearly five years ago.

McClellan said Bush looks forward to being able to "shed the coat and tie" at his more casual home near the small town of Crawford, Texas. Bush plans to travel to seven states from the ranch and hold at least 10 events to tout his agenda, including the war on terror and his economic priorities.

1. That is not even a ranch
It's all fake. Ever notice reporters have to stand with a phony hay wagon with pitchforks and such in the background? And they know it's all fake but say nothing.

I think it's the Rumsfeld "same vase" theory at work
You know, during the looting in Iraq Rumsfeld said people were looting the same vase over and over again thanks to that dern medja. (bad spelling intended)

I think it's just the same brush over and over again.

I can't wait until "clearing brush" is banished forever from our national phrasebook.

7. 50 trips in five years??????
There can't possibly be any brush left…

…unless of course, he's having it trucked in just a few days before he arrives.

Like Georgie ever really gets his hands dirty without a camera nearby.

:spray:

9. It HASN'T been five years - more like four and a half
Bush gets to use Air Force One as his personal SUV until late January, 2009.

11. Does * just keep carrying the same dead branches around?
He's always photo'd lugging those branches around. Does he just move them from one gully to the next, then back again???? :wtf:

And why the hell would the American public have any interest in seeing their "pResident" doing the goddamn gardening? :shrug:

12. Yeah. After all, he's a padrone of sorts,
could just import a few Mexican serfs to do his gardening. Surprised he hasn't.
