President Bush likes to go on vacation. Even the war hasn't kept Bush from taking every single August off. He heads to the ranch, clears brush, and stages a picnic lunch for his "National Security" team. We need to start linking his vacation with lame duckdom. It's an August Abdiction! (oops! Abdication!)
Bush is too stubborn to pass up his vacations. In his mind, they are his "right." But we need to thow down the line. Democrats need to start saying that if Bush goes to Texas this August, his Administration is over. Done. Finished. The line should be that if he can't stick around during wartime, when his popularity is at an all time low, and when his party is beset by scandal, he's acknowleging his lame duck status.
Either he stays in Washington, and gets crabby, or he goes to Texas, and walks away from power. It's time to start preparing for President Bush's August Abdication...
