"That man, the king of vacations ... the king of vacations in his ranch said nothing but, you have to flee, and didn't say how ... that cowboy, the cowboy mentality," said [Venezuelan president Hugo] Chavez, chuckling in a reference to Bush without naming him directly.

Pat Robertson was right.
Why is the Washington Post publishing this? Have they become the propaganda arm for Hugo Chavez?
For crying out loud, a President is never really on vacation. The weight of the world follows him wherever he goes.
Did you ever notice that the Senate and House are not in session? Most of them have fled back home too. I doubt that any of the Senate or House committees are doing work by phone conferences.
It's interesting that the left argues that we all should have the 4 weeks paid vacation of the Europeans, except for Republican presidents, who deserve no vacation.
The only reason we know where Bush is and not where all the Senators are is that politically important things do happen while Bush is at Crawford, so the press has to be there and sweat it out (and complain).
Chavez may have a point, though...our "cowboy" Presidents haven't done very well preventing natural disasters: Teddy Roosevelt failed to prevent the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Reagan failed to prevent Hurricane Gilbert in 1985, and GWB utterly failed to deflect Katrina from hitting the U.S.
If Kerry had won, Katrina would have hit the U.S., after it didn't...
"Hugo Chavez, the new spokesman for the Democrat party."
Huga Sheehan and Cindy Chavez. Perfect together.
I see that the DNC faxes have arrived in Caracas.
Hey Hugo, if you wanna come down to Nawlins with a bucket and bail, you'll get a warm Southern welcome, heah?
"Hugo Chavez, the new spokesman for the Democrat party."
Hugo Sheehan and Cindy Chavez. Perfect together.
This is one stupid MF.
I'm no fan of George W. Bush, but does this commie Chavez think he can do any better? Fat chance! All communists ever do is make things worse!
Hugo you are now SAFE.. You are not worth the bullet anymore..
Sincerly, a Bush Basher..
" I see that the DNC faxes have arrived in Caracas. "
Maybe, or more likely Castro Jr's fax arrived at DNC headquarters with talking points.
Yes, thank you.
For anyone who buys the lib MSM line that "Bush takes too much vacation" ask yourself where the legislative branch is all summer. The Supreme Court is also out of session. I believe they get back to work "the first Monday in October".
I prefer a pesident who does not spend too much time in Washington.
Not to mention it make it a whole lot easier for a whole lot of the REST of the Federal government (most notably the Secret Service and White House staff) to take their own vacations in August -- while the President is out of town.
Without a phone? Maybe you live in an igloo. W called to evacuate while the mayor and gov had their head up their butts. But you won't read or hear that in YOUR liberal press.
The liberals always need to be told what to do and still they don't do it. Just like rebellious children - they always know better.
He is not called Hugo "Red" Chavez for nothing. Another liberal dimwit.
