And here I thought that there was SOOOO much transition work to do....
This guy leaves his daughter in the hospital and goes fishing in Florida with daddy, in secret (as secret as he could arrange).
Yep, mixed links. Bush's daughter, presumably, is cleaning her room now.

I don't have a problem with him taking a vacation (it's the last chance he'll probably get for awhile) but - leaving his daughter in the hospital!! When I read about it yesterday morning (tuesday), he had left that morning for Florida and his daughter was due to be released that afternoon. His wife stayed behind to help the daughter. He couldn't postpone his vacation!!!! If one of my children were in the hospital, I sure as shootin' wouldn't be fishing in Florida!!!

Is this the wrong link, ken? This one is about the wacko about to head up the Justice Dept. Just wondering if there's one about the otherwacko on vacation.

Well, haven't seen reference to Pres. W's vacating (he's co-existing with the fish, right? Didn't he say that Man and the fish can co-exist peacefully?), but this Ashcroft guy -- one easily sees how a dead man beat him. The only further comment I have to make about him is -- how freaking scary is this guy? Can he possibly be confirmed??? *shivers*

Actually, I hear that with the country upset about what he is responsible for in this last election that he is being sequestered for his own safety. Already there is much conern about Inauguration Day and that may be post-poned or canceled due to the danger he faces by poking his nose outdoors. Clearly, strong security measures are needed to keep him safe until he takes the Oath of Office.

krs: The vacation was no secret here. Our local stations have been reporting it for a week.
I don't think Cheney is on vacation. He has work to do.

Dubya is in danger and is being sequestered. While out in the open, someone may ask a question or want a statement without a teleprompter or "aide-with-the-correct-answers" in sight. His head would explode....

As a Texan I am insulted by your remarks! George W. Bush is a very intelligent man and he has HAD a job, a very BIG job, being the wonderful Governor of our Great State! So WHAT if he takes a couple of days from this madness and goes fishing with his Dad? There were PLENTY of people to take care of the daughter. Bashing Bush and he isn't even sworn in yet!? Don't forget the impeached Clinton taking vacations all over the world these past two months with our money! Don't EVEN go there!
Don't mess with Texas!!

jtw74 - I agree I see no reason to be outraged that the man took a vacation from one tough job before starting another.
Now in case you didn't know it Bush will be taking those same vacations as you call them all around the World. At least I hope he will anyway. And again it will be our money.
Now when he starts repaying the folks who upped the 60 million for his campaign. Maybe we'll see some of that impeachment stuff handed out to him as well. I wonder will those investigations drag on forever never producing anything only to center on SEX. Or worse the evidence will surface and conveinently be lost.

I might be a dumb Canuck---but even I know Clinton was not impeached on any trumped up charges.....so don't get all huffy about insults if you feel the need to throw them yourself.
But George Sr. sure did look good for just having his hip replaced--that old guy is made of rock !!!

Yes George H. Bush did look well. I think his stamina comes from his faith, his love, his lack of bitterness along with his morality and sense of family. Barbara was always my favorite First Lady. Such class and dignity and she let her husband be president, unlike some of the other wives. I think Laura Bush will be the same way as Barbara.
KRS I am a Texan and I promise you I DON'T SUCK!

Dear jtw74:
Yes, while Gore was in Vietnam, Dubya was lifting women over his head and screaming one syllable words. Your right though: He's very intelligent - now he can read five words on the teleprompter before he has to pause. I keep expecting him to start jumping up and down GO TEAM GO!!! DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE!!!!
I also hate Texas! I've It's the only state I have ever visited that when you go to a Texas souvenir shop, you are overrun by Texans buying "Don't mess with Texas" stickers and other Texas stuff. What's up with that?

Stinky place. Flat. Hot. Ugly. People have no teeth. Skin all wrinkled and cracked. Everyone looks like a bunch of lizards.
No style. No class. Yuch.

That's right, dirt. Everything is dirty. Stupid looking chicken pecking oil pumps are the only feature of the land.
When the wind blows north, people in Oklahoma have to go inside to avoid getting sick.

Snakes.
Even their cows are scrawny. The men are all short and wizened up, the women wither to nothing by age 22.
All dried up wasteland.

Well now, I wouldn't exactly mind one of those chicken pecking things in my back yard.
As long as it kept pecking that is.

Fire ants, oh yes, and Killer bees, scorpions, tarantulas, black widows, dengue fever, bleached blonde helmet hair, Houston, Dallas....
But I do love my little corner of South Tejas.
