Light schedule as the president prepares for holiday (leaves today)
WHITE HOUSE (AP) _ President Bush is scheduled to leave for Camp David later today for Christmas celebrations with his family.

It's possible -- but not certain -- that before his departure, Bush may announce his nominees for Homeland Security Secretary and the new Director of National Intelligence.

At his news conference yesterday, Bush didn't tip his hand about who might fill either job. He simply said that the new D-N-I would be someone who is "capable and honest and ready to do the job."

12. Way lighter than his normal routine of lying, fund raising, and bubblewrap
That gets exhausting.

4. Since when did...
"capable and honest and ready to do the job" become a requirement to fill one of his posts?

I always thought loyalty, being a racist, and Christian fundamentalism were the keys to Cabinet posts.

6. I was going to say that!
"Capable" (for bush) can't be honest, and no honest person should want to be caught up in this regime!

19. Hey, I think you guys are reading that wrong.
I took it to mean that he's going to appoint a Democrat to the position. ;)

I'd also like to take this opportunity to extend a hearty Fuck You to you, Dubya. Some of us have real jobs and can't just take days off whenever we feel like it. I hope Santa bypasses your house and you spend the whole day crying because you didn't get the toys you asked for.

16. The requirement is "loilty."
Butt-kissing loilty and a complete absence of intellectual honesty.

9. Wh the hell cares if he goes to the pig farm
to celebrate the hollydays with his skanks and his Stepford?

He is running away from all the death and destruction he has caused.

I half expect his celebrations would include joy at the numbers of people he has killed--celebrating his control over life and death, according to the god that guides him.

Let him go to the pig farm--let the skanks and the Stepford exchange "books" with him. Let his battleaxe mummy not bother her beautiful mind with all the death and destruction her son has caused with his insane policies, while doling out the trust funds to the skanks.

Let them all rot at the pig farm, the smell would be the same as that of the pigs who once populated the place and let them all be so merry and joyful and prayerful, celebrating not the birth of a baby saviour, but the deaths of thousands and thousands that their good daddy insists protects our freedom here in the United States. They are probably haveing the last fitting of their glittering, sparkling gowns they will wear at the obscene inauguration balls, while all that is glittering in Iraq, is the blood that flows in the streets and the sun hitting the bombs that are dropped on children, women and other innocents.

10. Now there's some unexpected news!
The Simian Dauphin and the rest of the Gombe Stream test group are going to take a few days off and return to their native habitat.

Wow. Does George W. Chimp ever stop working?!?

13. Fuck you George. Just...fuck you
I don't know how much more I can express my utter contempt for you and your cronies.

I hope you never have another moment of peace or joy. Unless you apologize to all of creation, and make yourself available for a war crimes trial.

You deserve nothing good. I'm so angry right now.

21. I wonder if Clinton would have vacationed ?
I just can't imagine the insensitivity * is displaying on the day of the Mosul attack with such a high casualty number?

I remember Clinton not even going to bed on New Year's Eve 2000 until he was assured every American around the world had a safe NYE celebration.
