Fox: Bush "Back to Business at Home" Before Asia Trip (it's HARD WORK!)
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be...
Taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime
Work out


Bush Back to Business at Home Before Asia Trip
Tuesday, November 08, 2005

WASHINGTON — President Bush will get back to business on the homefront after his trip to Latin America and will have a few days to tend to problems at home before taking off for distant lands again.

Bush returned from Panama late Monday at the end of a five-day trip that included a hemispheric summit in Argentina and was leaving for an eight-day trip to Asia on Nov. 14. That gives him precious little time to work on his domestic agenda, help win support for replacement Supreme Court nominee Sam Alito and deal with the fallout from the CIA leak case that involved two of his top aides.

Between his foreign visits, a trip home to Texas for the Thanksgiving holiday and other domestic travel in between, Bush will spend roughly two-thirds of November away from the White House.

The trips largely will keep Bush's focus overseas while problems are mounting at home. But the president does not get to escape his woes by traveling abroad, as was obvious in Latin America. Protesters in Argentina drew attention to anti-Bush sentiment in the region, and leading South American nations were reluctant to move ahead with Bush's call for opening trade.

3. Notice the evil spin
... talking about the "CIA leak case" in the past tense ("that involved...").

4. Good catch! Well...
if I recall, Rove's head is still perched on the guillotine... we just don't know if and when the ax will drop.
