George Bush: Hardly Working…Again

Via today's Froomkin and U.S. News, I find this Jay Leno gem:

Jay Leno: President Bush "went on vacation to his ranch in Texas for what the White House said was a short weekend break. You know, aren't we at war? Anybody else's weekend start on Wednesday? Try that at your job: 'Boss, I'd like to take the weekend off. I'll be leaving Tuesday night.'"

It's not like he's got anything better to do, I suppose.

Back in August of 2005, he had already set the record of most vacation days while in office – 319 at that point, not counting before and after Katrina hit – surpassing even The Gipper's hefty vacation total.  And he's still going strong on vacationing.  What a role model for America's youth, eh?  

(I tried to find a clip of the SNL sketch from the Presidential debates where you get the "It's haaaaard work."  Came up empty.  If anyone can find me a link, I'd love it.)
