So Kos went on vacation, huh? Yet his `nutrooty' site didn't implode. Further, there were no disasters for which he would have to cancel. For, he had completed a good portion of his job and didn't leave before that little task was complete.
I seem to recall something that happened last year at about this time. Hmm, what was it? Oh. Right, it was Katrina. Good thing all of those `patriots' were around to do their jobs.
Oh, wait:
From NYT 9/5/05 (subscriber limited)
"In interviews, these Republicans said that the normally nimble White House political operation had fallen short in part because the president and his aides were scattered outside Washington on vacation, leaving no one obviously in charge at a time of great disruption. Mr. Rove and Mr. Bush were in Texas, while Vice President Dick Cheney was at his Wyoming ranch.
Mr. Bush's communications director, Nicolle Devenish, was married this weekend in Greece, and a number of Mr. Bush's political advisers - including Ken Mehlman, the Republican National Committee chairman - attended the wedding.
Ms. Rice did not return to Washington until Thursday,. . ."
Mehlman in Greece? EEEEEEEWWWWW
Condi was doing this (from Gawker)
Chertoff was, Umm (from McClatchy)
And the supreme douchebag? (From ThinkProgress 8/30/05)
...Yesterday, disaster struck. And even as one of the strongest storms in recorded history rocked the Gulf Coast, President Bush decided to continue his vacation, visiting the Pueblo El Mirage RV and Golf Resort in El Mirage, Ariz., to hawk his Medicare drug benefit plan. (Bush will spend one more night in Crawford tonight before flying back to Washington.)
... So, I guess what I'm saying is that it's better to be a nutroot than a douchebag. Really, Kos. Go on and take another vacation. By my judgement, you could take another year off and still come back shining!
As for Mehlman and his doucheroot site.. Let's just say that he can be reached at chairman@gop.com
Tell him Andrew sent you.
