Shame on me. W has been on vacation all month and I haven’t made fun of the longest presidential vacation in history not even once. What can I say that the late night hosts haven’t already said? Except that I wish he’d take off the rest of his term and stay in Crawford. We need a vacation from him -- and his entourage.
If you haven’t already heard the jokes, La Blogda has done the work for you. Here is, in my opinion, the best of the jabs at W, as told by the late night folks.
"President Bush is on a five-week vacation. From what? President Bush, before he went on vacation, he signed a bill that will extend daylight savings another month. He said it proves we're winning the war on darkness" --David Letterman
See, now here’s proof W isn’t the brightest lipstick in the cosmetic drawer. If we’re not in a war of darkness, I don’t know who is.
"A lot of people are every critical of President Bush for taking the entire month of August off for his vacation. But his staff points out, there's nothing at the White House he can't do at the ranch because the ranch is fully equipped. It's got the treadmill, the weight room, the jogging path, the big screen TV, they get Nickelodeon. It's got everything he would do." --Jay Leno
Actually, Jay, you left out the pretzels for him to choke on.
This will be the longest presidential vacation in 36 years. This means President Bush has now been on vacation for 27% of his presidency. That means the country could be 27% more screwed up than it already is." --Jimmy Kimmel
Okay, that’s the truth, so technically, it’s not funny.
President Bush still having his five-week vacation. Today President Bush announced he is going to leave his ranch in Texas to visit Idaho for two days. However, Bush told his supporters, 'Don't worry, I won't do any work there either.'" --Conan O'Brien
President W, you have fun on your vacation, you hear? Run around in you flight suit or play “shoot ‘em up cowboy” all day long. Don’t you worry about a thing, President Cheney is still running the country, just like your daddy planned.
