The thought did occur to me last week that George Dubya has a lot of nerve trying to reprimand Russian for doing the same thing that he did. But I think Maureen Dowd expressed it a whole lot better than I could in her op-ed, Russia is Not Jamaica…
America’s back in the cold war and W.’s back on vacation.
Talk about your fearful symmetry.
After eight years, the president’s gut remains gullible. He’ll go out as he came in — ignoring reality; failing to foresee, prevent or even prepare for disasters; misinterpreting intelligence reports; misreading people; and handling crises in ways that makes them exponentially worse.
He has spent 469 days of his presidency kicking back at his ranch, and 450 days cavorting at Camp David. And there’s still time to mountain-bike through another historic disaster.
As Russian troops continued to manhandle parts of Georgia on Friday, President Bush chastised Russian leaders that “bullying and intimidation are not acceptable ways to conduct foreign policy in the 21st century” — and then flew off to Crawford.

Well you know I have a very passionate opinion of our “friend” George W. Bush, but I don’t have enough time or space to express those here. So I’ll try to sum it up in regards to the vacationing president.
I would love to have a job that will pay me for life that I lied and cheated to get, made up stuff while I was at work and vacationed the rest of the time. No wonder we are in the shape we’re in. But I didn’t buy into the faulty and damaged goods he and the Republican party peddled in 2000 and now.
There’s so much more than I want to say, but I will end here, because I’m going on vacation.
