Little George Has To Go All The Way To Idaho To Defend His Miserable War
AP 8/20

BOISE, Idaho -- President Bush will make his first trip to Idaho next week, spending Monday evening and Tuesday vacationing in the lake and resort region near Donnelly and then speaking about the war against terrorism at the agricultural community of Nampa on Wednesday.

Hangar space has been reserved for Marine One, the presidential helicopter, at the McCall Airport in Valley County, about 100 miles north of Idaho's capital city on the two-lane State highway 55. from there it's just 10 miles to Donnelly, where the new Tamarack Resort ski and golf club opened last December.

3. You didn't know it was a hang out for enlistment age kids?
Look in the bus staff & kitchen help.

2. Actually, to avoid defending it.
It's the only place he can give the same old evasive crap full of vague platitudes and not get torn to pieces.

:rofl:

Is this (and Utah, of course) really the only place left?

On edit: Holy shit ... I spoke too soon!

5. Aren't his poll numbers strongest in the midwest, rocky mountain
regions? He's trying to hold on to the base. I think he is literally running out of places to go and I think alot of ReThugs don't even want to be seen with him. And Rove is too busy worrying about his own ass to crank up a Shitstorm of any significance.

Meanwhile over in Britain the Menzes case has things cooking - Bliar and the Crown might also be looking for a retreat from the opposition. I wonder what Claire Short is up to these days?

Bliar - your smile is looking smirkyer and smirkyer ever day - almost Sardonic. Looks like the cabal is losing some spirit.

6. I remember seeing Nixon doing the same thing
near the end when his approval ratings were low and he was having trouble finding friendly crowds, he came to Alabama.

7. Just great strategy - let's do to this agricultural community and
create fear and discuss terrorism. You never know what harm can be done with those sharp shafts of dried grains....could be hit in the noggin by an ear of corn. Death by manure?

9. He can't speak about the war on terrorism...
It's supposed to be the Struggle against Violent Extremism...

They had better get back on script.

13. Bush can only visit area's that have been people screened Bush supporters
The guy only gives a speech to people who back him, unlike previous presidents, he could never just show up to give a speech to just any US. citizen, they all must be screened and approved of before entering said speech-site.

That tells me this adminisration is unamerican as you can possibly get!
if someone disagree's...they arrested and dragged away?!! this is the new american way!
