Omigod: DICK CHENEY Has Been On Vacation!

by Michael in New York - 9/02/2005 12:49:00 AM

 

Dan Froomkin of The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that Dick

Cheney has spent part of August at his home outside Jackson Wyoming. A

Cheney spokesperson insisted it wasn't a vacation because he'd had

some briefings.

 

As of Wednesday -- two days after Hurricane Katrina devastated the

Gulf States -- Cheney was STILL VACATIONING IN JACKSON WYOMING. And

when was Cheney headed back to Washington?

 

" He will certainly be coming back. I'm not able to tell you the

day right now. I don't have that handy. "

 

Can you believe it? (Kudos to reader Aaron for pointing us to this.)

For days AFTER the worst natural disaster in our nation's history:

 

Bush stayed on vacation. On Monday he went to Arizona to cut a

birthday cake with John McCain and play politics on Medicare. On

Tuesday -- as the flood waters were rising and the death toll mounted

-- Bush played politics again, heading out to California to make a

speech offering another excuse for staying the course in Iraq (oil!)

and jamming on a guitar. He knew he had to end his vacation early

(sigh) but couldn't bring himself to head straight to Washington DC.

So Bush went BACK to Crawford for one more cozy night of rest before

finally heading back to Washington DC on Wednesday.

 

Meanwhile, Condi Rice is in the midst of a THREE DAY vacation that

began AFTER the hurricane struck New Orleans. She's gone to a Broadway

show, played tennis with Monica Seles and reportedly bought really

expensive Ferragamo shoes.

 

And DICK CHENEY HAS BEEN HANGING OUT IN JACKSON, WYOMING ALL THIS TIME!!!!

 

Every damn reporter in this country better insist on asking again and

again and again exactly what Cheney and Rice have been doing these

last few days and why the HELL THEY WEREN'T BACK IN WASHINGTON DC

DEALING WITH THE WORST DISASTER IN OUR NATION'S HISTORY.

 

If this doesn't wake people up to their utter callousness, stupidity

and contempt for average Americans -- especially at a time of the most

dire crisis -- well, then nothing will.

 

Bush is relaxing in Crawford, Condi is going to a Broadway show and

Dick Cheney is probably fly fishing -- all AFTER the hurricane struck.

 

WHERE IS DICK? WHEN DID HE GET BACK TO DC? WHY WASN'T HE BACK THERE ON

MONDAY? OR TUESDAY? OR WEDNESDAY?
