Let the vacationing begin!

King Bubbleboy is off on another month-long brush-clearing tour to Casa Fabricata. It's good to be king.
Just talking about what the administration calls a non-vacation makes Bush sputter like his father did.

"I have a busy couple of weeks down there, and I have a lot — going to have meetings with people who come — from my administration who come down, the economic people," Bush said last week. "(Donald) Rumsfeld and his team; Condi (Rice) will come down."

  Houston Chronicle article

Yes, Miss Condi always goes down.
Bush [...] takes about as many days off each year as a typical worker in France.
D'oh!
In another sign that he thinks he can call his own shots, Bush has defaulted on his promise to reporters that he would hold a news conference once a month. He held none in June and July, despite the fact that there are many questions out there, including a draining war which is rarely mentioned at the White House.

[...]

Bush told a gathering of Texas journalists Monday with some pomposity that "Bolton's standing in the world depends upon my confidence in Bolton, and I've got a lot of confidence in Bolton."

[...]

When a Texas newspaper reporter told him, "Power is perception," Bush corrected him, saying, "Power is being president."

  Boston Channel article

And don't you furgit it.
[PRESIDENT BUSH:] I'm sending Ambassador Bolton to New York with my complete confidence. Ambassador Bolton believes passionately in the goals of the United Nations Charter, to advance peace and liberty and human rights. His mission is now to help the U.N. reform itself to renew its founding promises for the 21st century. He will speak for me on critical issues facing the international community.

  WH News Release

He will speak for George? Have they changed the title from "US Ambassador to the UN" to "George W. Bush's Ambassador"?

Might as well, I suppose.
