"Beijing George" AWOL

"Today, in his final term, the wildly unpopular President George W. Bush boarded Air Force One bound for the Beijing Olympics and a meeting with his chum Hu Jintao, the dapper ruler of a nuclear armed, communist dictatorship. ... Perhaps our Compassionate Conservative-in-Chief will bring our absent Democrat Congress some 'Made in (communist) China' souvenir t-shirts: 'Bush went to Beijing and all I got was this lousy five week, paid vacation.'"

So says Republican House Policy Committee Chairman Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI), bitching about the goofus's lack of support for the R's big congressional moment protesting in favor of offshore drilling while D's loll in the overheated hinterlands, vacationing.

I wouldn't mind one of those T-shirts myself. Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind a five-week paid vacation either.
