3. Hell, he took a month off 7 months after he was first sworn in. 8/01:
Remember? When they forgot to read to PDB: Bin Laden To Strike In U.S.

Good thing that was just 'historical' information.

4. NO
But the peculiar charms of The Imperial Pig Farm Upon Crawford call out to the soul of a certain Connecticut Yankee preppy cheerleader.

Only "the self-annointed one" can hear the refrain that moves his soul:

"Time to go AWOL again"
"Time to go AWOL again"
"Time to go AWOL again"
"Time to go AWOL again"
"Time to go AWOL again"
"Time to go AWOL again"
"Time to go AWOL again"
"Time to go AWOL again"
"Time to go AWOL again"
"Time to go AWOL again"
"Time to go AWOL again"
"Time to go AWOL again"
"Time to go AWOL again"
"Time to go AWOL again"
"Time to go AWOL again"
"Time to go AWOL again"

5. Wassamattayou?
Don't you understand how hard our Beloved Leader works? You don't think he deserves a vacation after all that hard work? Anybody knows it's hard work colouring all those books and staying inside the lines. Any compassionate person understands he deserves at least a month off to recuperate from all the hard work he does. You don't appreciate our hard-working Inspired Commander-in-Chief? Why do you hate America? :sarcasm:

29. And he does tell us all the time, "it's hard work," "it's hard work,"
"it's hard work," "it's hard work," "it's hard work," "it's hard work," "it's hard work," "it's hard work," "it's hard work," "it's hard work," "it's hard work," "it's hard work," "it's hard work," "it's hard work,"

doesn't he?

10. It really doesn't look good does it?
But Chimpy doesn't care how any of his actions or non actions look to 'Murikans'. The Littlest Dictator feels he can do whatever his wants, consequences be damned!

16. Aw let him go - I'm sure he will promise to think about our soldiers
Edited on Wed Jul-27-05 08:51 AM by higher class
dying and losing parts of their body every time he rakes brush, plays his video games, rides his bike, receives guests from the bin Laden family, and get updates on what we are doing for and giving to Sharon, plus the latest number of jobs ended in the UNITED STATES FOR CORPORATIONS.

If I were the UN, I would move out of New York now - this admin is at war with them - the countries themselves and their representatives. The UK and Israel are exceptions, of course.

Our admin doesn't want consensus on what they are doing and want to do. They want to conquer you and us.

All hail to the CORPORATIONS - this admin is their admin not our admin.

(Thanks to the good corporations who have not succumbed.)

17. It would probably do more good than harm.
Let him go cut brush on the pig farm. He's not running things anyway. The less of him the better as far as I'm concerned.

19. Dick Cheney Insists
Gives him a little peace and quiet without the boy running around and asking all those stupid questions. You know, like what color the alert is today, or can he lead the victory parade in Baghdad.

25. I guess I'd be surprised if he DID show signs of
understanding duty, responsibility, accountability or any semblance of a work ethic. Why would he start now? Obviously none of these things are required to hold the highest office in the land, so where's the motivation?

31. Maybe Morgan Spurlock Can Do A 30 Days On This
He goes on vacation for 30 days while his business is in crises.

"As Morgan goes fishing today, lets check on what's happening back at the office. Oops, looks like the bank foreclosed on the warehouse."

32. Why? He has been on a life-long vacation already
His whole life is a vacation. I guess the upside is that he won't be stinking up the city of Washington with the his stench of his mendacity.

Edited on Wed Jul-27-05 03:30 PM by Burried News
Grease the plastic Turkey boys, shine your brass, clean up that barracks area trooper, paint those rocks outside the Bn CP, don't forget to paint the Plywood on the Humvee's with the Metallic paint - and for gosh sakes take that Eagle off the flagpole and put the elephant there like I told you. Remember Eagle UNDER elephant, eagle UNDER elephant. GeeezUS gomers - get it right. And get those girlie pics of Jane Fonda off that doror.

36. World domination/destruction is hard work Mopaul.
Just think how hard Boosh has to work:

1. Bush has to make sure everyone around the world hates us.
2. Bush has to make sure Iraq turns into a complete hellhole.
3. Bish must work extra, extra hard to answer scripted questions.
4. Borsh needs to relax after these past few months of cover-ups.
5. Boosh works like a demon when it comes to killing non-whites.

I could go on, but it should be obvious now why our Leader needs a break - evil is hard work!

37. Didn't you get the memo, Mopaul?
Amerika is no longer at War. Amerika is now in "The struggle against violent Extremists". NO more War. No more War Crimes. No more War Protests.
