Things that make you go hmmmmm……
First this:
President Bush was treated a year ago for what appears to have been Lyme disease, the White House said yesterday in disclosing the results of his annual physical exam.
Lyme disease is a tick-borne infection that, if left untreated, can cause arthritis and other problems. Symptoms can include lethargy . . . .
So where is Bush now? Seems he’s resting:
It’s August in Washington and the city is emptying out.
Members of Congress left over the weekend and won’t be back until Sept. 4. President George W. Bush goes tomorrow to his family’s seaside compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, for a long weekend before heading for his ranch in Crawford, Texas. Call it a recess, call it a break, just don’t call it a vacation.
For lawmakers, it’s a “district work period,” time to meet with voters, raise money or take “fact-finding” trips overseas. White House officials stress the president has regular briefings and is on call 24/7 for any emergency when he’s in Crawford, where he has spent 418 days as president.
That’s about 14 months of his presidency, at Crawford alone.
Listen, that’s 14 months he couldn’t fuck the country up even worse.
