The Cost to US Taxpayers for *'s 35-Day "Vacation"

[heidiho]

Does anyone on this board have any idea what it cost the US taxpayer to have Chimpy and family in Crawford for 35 days, including the costs of flying his entire entourage there and keeping them there for that length of time?

Has anyone heard of any outrage by the public about his vacation extending so long with a "war" still going on in Iraq and our soldiers still dying?

Every night, Dave Letterman is saying "Well George Bush is off on his 35-DAY VACATION!!! How many people here get 35 days off in a row each year?"

AND, is anyone else sick to death of the news reports from Crawford with that crappy tractor, bale of hay and old dilapadated shed in the background?

1. Yes but...

he probably (PROBABLY) can't do as much damage to the country from there as from Washington.

2. the less said the better

When he took his first one month vacation, my response was that "since everything he does is evil, the more vacation he takes the better this country will be." He works too hard as it is thinking of countries to invade, ways to screw workers and squash civil liberties and rape the environment - basically dig a tunnel to the 19th century. Really, JR, take the next 17 months off - please. And then retire early.
