snip from Post article:

White House communications director Dan Bartlett retorted that Bush is "not skiing" in Texas, as Kerry did on a recent vacation in Idaho. He said Bush remains in contact with his military advisers and is spending Easter weekend with his family. "Most Americans will understand that," Bartlett said.

This is Bush's 33rd visit to his ranch since becoming president. He has spent all or part of 233 days on his Texas ranch since taking office, according to a tally by CBS News. Adding his 78 visits to Camp David and his five visits to Kennebunkport, Maine, Bush has spent all or part of 500 days in office at one of his three retreats, or more than 40 percent of his presidency.

2. Oh, OK then

It's ok that he's been on so much vacation, so long as he isn't skiing. Anything but skiing!

3. But with all the brush clearning the...

idiot in chief does at Crawford, doesn't that make it a "working vacation"? He's just not doing the job he was handpicked and installed to do, but he is working.
