W today (4/10/04)-Gone Fishin'
Tie this in with the story of him calling Condi to congratulate her on her testimony FROM HIS PICK-UP TRUCK.....getting the picture?


On Saturday, Bush and his father were to go fishing at the ranch's bass pond with a crew from the Outdoor Life Network's "Fishing with Roland Martin."


The White House approached the network about coming to film Bush, who is eager to cultivate an image as a sportsman with the millions of voters who hunt and fish. The crew was to bring its own boat for the shoot on the small pond.

3. My God, is there no shame?
He can't even go fishing privately. He has to "cultivate" his image with a fishing television program. Americans are dying, and Bush is mugging for the camera.

8. Bringing their own boat
Doesn't W have a boat? Does he only fish from the shore? Why would you need a boat then?

Maybe W does need one-he can walk on water.

Don't be surprised to see that implied in the RW spin. Rush will probably complain about LIBERALS complaining and say that LIBERALS are joyless and miserable, something like that.

6. It will lock up the idiot vote.
Another " he's just like us moment" have you ever talked to a redneck, they don't care about the war. Bush is a REPUBLICAN and a FISHERMAN, nothing else matters.

7. Maybe Rove noticed these guys
Conservative Sportmen Turn Against Bush

Or maybe it was just Poppy's idea, a soothing escape when your problems with Iraq get out of hand -- he went fishing after fomenting the Kurd rebellions, caught some nice pan-fry while they were being slaughtered.

Poor Dick, however, might be in for an annoying weekend. He'll still be in Japan when the fates of the hostages -- roasting or reprieve -- becomes known.

9. "Now watch this cast!"
No verbage, just the raw footage for a commercial...split screen. Him golfing with his famous line, and him fishing while what is going on in Iraq is shown.

10. I was JUST thinking about him not watching the Masters today
I don't know if he is (please no pretzels) but what "regular guy" isn't watching the Masters this weekend.

""Now watch this cast!"" indeed.
