"VACATION ALL I EVER WANTED . . . VACATION HAD TO GET AWAY"






If it were baseball, not the presidency, this story would be about the highest paid player with the most time on the disabled list. It would be about the league leader in errors, or the ballplayer doing all the real dumb stuff off the field, like falling out of the tree while hunting, or slicing into a throwing hand finger while hedge trimming. Or the guy who thought he'd be okay because he was taking "Steeroids - you know, like they give to cows, not Steroids. See, there's a diffrence."

Nope, sadly it ain't baseball. That's our Brush-Clearer-In-Chief, taking 33 days off, making the 50th trip to his ranch of his 4.7 year presidency, and approaching Ronald Reagan's record for days off as President. Only Saint Ronald was beginning to battle with Alzheimers in the later years of his presidency and was in his mid 70's, AND took the whole 8 years to amass those unprecedented furlough numbers. Georgie's about to get there in five.
