Asked about the president heading to the ranch in the midst of a deadly Middle East conflict, Tony Snow, the White House press secretary, said today: "My guess is, he's going to be working pretty hard. This is not a situation where he is gallivanting and ignoring the situation.''

[jobycom]

1. Yeah, cause we know he reads memos and stuff at the ranch

And meets with concerned Americans and such. Not like he's out bike riding or playing lumberjack or nothin'.

[AndyA]

2. Gallivanting and ignoring the situation is what Bush does best.

Remember 9/11/01.

And Hurricane Katrina.

Bad things always seem to happen when Bush is playing, which he seems to do a lot.

Of course, having him on duty isn't all that great, either. :eyes:

[Norquist Nemesis]

3. There's just one single difference between Snowjob's former position

and his current one: WE are now paying his salary!

[rhiannon55]

4. Workin' hard clearin' brush

Gotta keep your priorities straight! Plus, our Idiot King knows HOW to clear brush. :rofl:

[SpiralHawk]

5. Gallivanting off to the Guinness Book of World Records

as the Most Lavishly Vactationed PResident of All Time.

Commander AWOL Bush has made mincemeat of Ronald Reagan's astonishing vacation record.

He puts in a lot of Hard Work vacationing at the Imperial Pig Farm Upon Crawford.

6. Vacation Time

Hurricane season is coming.

[Bonhomme Richard]

7. LOL, that statement infers that bush does...........

engage in " gallivanting and ignoring the situation."

[sabra]

8. bingo!

[SpiralHawk]

10. Bada boom bada bing

BINGO BOYO !

[Virginia Dare]

9. LOL, I was thinking the same thing...

gallivanting and ignoring, that's a perfect description of what he does--you said it Tony, we didn't. :rofl:

[Ezlivin]

11. Gallivanting is a perfect word to describe Bush's actions - Thanks Tony!

Definition: "Go around from one place to another in the pursuit of pleasure or entertainment".

Bush is best at seeking out his own pleasure. The hell with the rest of us.

[kurth]

12. The Word of the Day for August 2 is gallivant • \GAL-uh-vant\ • (verb)

as in, Tony Snow is full of shit.

[LibDemAlways]

13. When is the chimp not "gallivanting and (or)

ignoring the situation?"







I think Tony protests too much.

[Eurobabe]

14. It's hard work being prezteldent...

<insert sweaty Bu$hler photo of your choice here>

[zbdent]

15. What's sad is that Clinton was a workaholic, and they portray him

as the one that was "ignoring" the situation in the ME ... whether it was ObL, Saddam, Israel/Palestine ... despite all the hard work he did and all the info that was gathered about ObL (which, by the way, the Reich-wing had off the radar prior to 9/11/2001, despite ObL's involvement in the 10/12/2000 bombing of USS Cole) ...

This is going to be the soundbyte swipe at Clinton, not a reference to Bush ...

[SutaUvaca]

16. Come on now..

It's not all gallivanting and ignoring.
Let's not forget the occassional gamboling with that Jeff G. guy,
or the dutiful cavorting with German heads of state.

[truebrit71]

17. He wouldn't know hard work if it came up and punched him in the mouth....

...And Tony Snow is entirely welcome to kiss my hairy arse...

[gratuitous]

18. And we didn't even have to bring it up

Snow himself says that Stupidhead is off gallivanting and ignoring situations. But this isn't one of those times. Instead, I guess he's laying low and hoping it all resolves itself while he's gone, which is definitely not "gallivanting and ignoring the situation."

Bush's rigid vacation schedule, however, will brook no outside interference from events, no matter how major. He's a steely-eyed, stay-the-course kind of guy when it comes to goofing off. And make sure his salary is paid the entire time.

[sam sarrha]

19. he is a professional liar.. and a good one too.. if his lips are moving

he is lying or blowing a Republican:wow:

[rhiannon55]

20. Go Cindy!

Give the brush-clearin' gallavantin' bastard hell! :bounce:

[driver8]

21. "Ah got brush I need to get cleared...gotta do some clearifying."

"This is a workin' vacation for the prez-dent. Ya see, ah'm workin' when I should be relaxin'."

[VOX]

22. Like August 2001, when * was "gallivanting and ignoring the situation?"

Once a gallivanter, *always* a gallivanter. :grr:

Bush Gave No Sign of Worry In August 2001
By Dana Milbank and Mike Allen
Washington Post Staff Writers

CRAWFORD, Tex., April 10 -- President Bush was in an expansive mood on Aug. 7, 2001, when he ran into reporters while playing golf at the Ridgewood Country Club in Waco, Tex.

The day before, the president had received an intelligence briefing -- the contents of which were declassified by the White House Saturday night -- warning "Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US." But Bush seemed carefree as he spoke about the books he was reading, the work he was doing on his nearby ranch, his love of hot-weather jogging, his golf game and his 55th birthday.

Condoleezza Rice, in her testimony Thursday to the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, spoke of a government on high alert for terrorism in the summer of 2001. "The president of the United States had us at battle stations during this period of time," she testified. Rice's talk of battle stations is part of the Bush administration's effort to counter an impression that it did not do enough about terrorism before Sept. 11; a Newsweek poll released Saturday found that 60 percent think the Bush administration underestimated terrorism before the attacks.

But if top officials were at battle stations, there was no sign of it on the surface. Bush spent most of August 2001 on his ranch here. His staff said at the time that by far the biggest issue on his agenda was his decision on federal funding of stem cell research, followed by education, immigration and the Social Security "lockbox."

24. I would like to "gallivant" my foot right up his ass.
