I like the thoughts of the press having to schlep around Texas in the August sun.

I know he likes the outdoors - but Crawford in August? He must like the heat. That is like going to Florida in August. Or is the climate a bit better there during the summer?

[Cold Heat]

I would not say that republicans are excited about picking up electoral votes from California in 2004.

In fact, the possibility never crossed my mind. I don't think it is possible unless the busses are not running or the state implodes.

I like the thoughts of the press having to schlep around Texas in the August sun.

Remember the screeching temper tantrums they threw when Bush took his first Crawford vacation? It just infuriated them to realize they weren't going to be able to hang out with the "beautiful people" at Martha's Vineyard any more.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Will the press start bleating about his vacation, again?

[Paul Atreides]

Wasn't that priceless? I would make them follow me through a pasture where an enormous herd of cattle had just been.

I like the thoughts of the press having to schlep around Texas in the August sun. Speaking of Texas in the August sun, when's HS football season start down there?

[PhiKapMom]

It has been really hot so the press should be all set to start whining!

[Paul Atreides]

I have no idea. I'm from Alabama.

[Paul Atreides]

The very second one little press t*rd gripes, W should tell them that fighting men and women in Iraq have it worse.

Better yet, put on the chaps, jacket and gloves and take 'em on a tour of a bramble thicket.

[Consort]

...Crawford, Broderick

[smoothsailing]

Yes.

The press are incessant bleaters.

Our President will ignore this inferiority.

Our Nation will remain secure.

Good News for America!

Thanks, Mr. President.

He has done this each year so far.... 2001, 2002 and now 2003...... Yes it's hot and the press generally gripes about being stuck out in the Crawford high school gym which up until last year wasn't air conditioned. I think they put in A/C for the Press.....

From this thread :

It's even hotter than usual in Phoenix, the Associated Press reports:

About 2,000 inmates living in a barbed-wire-surrounded tent encampment at the Maricopa County Jail have been given permission to strip down to their government-issued pink boxer shorts.

On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 138 degrees inside the week before. Many were also swathed in wet, pink towels as sweat collected on their chests and dripped down to their pink socks.

"It feels like you are in a furnace," said James Zanzo't, an inmate who has lived in the tents for 1 1/2 years. "It's inhumane."

Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, is not sympathetic. He said Wednesday that he told the inmates: "It's 120 degrees in Iraq and the soldiers are living in tents and they didn't commit any crimes, so shut your mouths."

Kind of puts things in perspective, doesn't it?

Wasn't that priceless? I would make them follow me through a pasture where an enormous herd of cattle had just been.

I would inveigle the heavy left quisling maggot pressy vermin out onto a piece of range where the ground was just beginning to shake from the onrush of five thousand head of totally spooked out buffalo. A great feed for the ravens. Someone rancher around Crawford has got to have some buffalo - so just do it, videotape it and send a copy to Dubya, just for a giggle, dontcha know.
