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).
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.
