Did the MSM ever refer to Bush’s visits to his ranch in Texas as “working vacations”?

IIRC, they were always cited as “proof” that Bush was lazy.

President Bush worked at his vacation and that is a fact. One reader in Newsbusters.org made a list of foreign dignitaries that visited him at the Prairie Chapel Ranch from November 2001 to August 4, 2005m which is as following

April 11, 2005 Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon stayed overnight at the Hilton Hotel in Waco, Texas and went to the ranch for lunch

April 25, 2005 Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah met at the ranch for lunch after receiving dignitaries at his Dallas hotel, the Gaylord Texan (now King Abdullah)

August 4, 2005 Colombian President Alvaro Uribe

These don't even inlude the many meetings he had with his cabinet

I continued with his August 2006 vacation schedule, which went as following

August 3, 2006 President Bush Discusses Comprehensive Immigration Reform in Texas

August 7, 2006 President Bush and Secretary of State Rice Discuss the Middle East Crisis (Prairie Chapel Ranch)

August 10, 2006 President Heralds U.S. Economy, Small Business in Wisconsin

This is just a small example of the fact that President Bush worked on his vacation regardless if the lamestream media's claim that he took more vacations.

The fact is that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue doesn't know the meaning of work
