Let the man rest

Glad to hear that Monkey Boy is getting a nice break down there in Crawford. Wouldn't want him to stress himself out too much because, as the Daily Show pointed out yesterday it's only been four months since his last vacation and he'd really been looking forward to this one. So he says that he's President and he feels Cindy Sheehan's pain-and that of the other family and friends who have lost loved ones in this wretched war. Uh huh. That's why he hasn't been to one funeral of a service member. That's why he's forbidden pictures of coffins swathed in the flag returning from Iraq and points elsewhere. It's because he feels so much pain that he said, in spite of Rove's admission that he "said too much" to Time reporter Matt Cooper that Monkey Man has not so much as even publicly offered a blanket condemnation of leaking within his administration-in spite of the fact that said leaking has endangered intelligence officers around the world. Even when seasoned intelligence men sign a petition protesting how tepidlythe President has dealt with leaks about the identity of Valerie Plame. Yeah, all these signs point to a Monkey President who is really overwhelmed by the demands of running an illegal war in Iraq and failing-for the 1436th day since Sept. 11-to find Osama Bin Laden. So yeah, the man really has a lot of brush to clear from his ranch and, um....yeah, he's got, um, Little League to go to and Condi to talk to and also it's very hard ignoring Cindy Sheehan. But he's working on it.
