Bush Questions Brevity of Obama's Vacation

Quote

Former president George W. Bush criticized President Barack Obama today for taking such a brief August vacation, arguing that the brevity of his summer break "sends the wrong message to terrorists."

"The one way to let the evildoers know that they don't have you all stressed out is by taking all of August off," Mr. Bush told reporters at his ranch in Crawford, Texas.  "I always made sure I did that."

Reading it, I recognize how relaxing it was in the last 6 months... not to have listen or read anything about GW's thoughts.

It probably says something, either about Bush or about me, that I had to go to the article to make sure this was a spoof. I thought it was, but always good to check. B)

Given that Bush and his cronies made more money in the last 8 years than anyone commenting here, I wonder who exactly is having the last laugh here.

It's actually a misquote. He really said "sends the wrong massage to terror-doers and evil-ists."
