Its Good To Be King

An accounting of how President Bush has been spending his presidency, compiled by CBS News and mentioned in this Washington Post article:

This [Easter Weekend visit] is Bush’s 33rd visit to his ranch since becoming president. He has spent all or part of 233 days on his Texas ranch since taking office, according to a tally by CBS News. Adding his 78 visits to Camp David and his five visits to Kennebunkport, Maine, Bush has spent all or part of 500 days in office at one of his three retreats, or more than 40 percent of his presidency.

While April has provided Bush plenty of quality vacation time, it has become the deadliest month for Americans in Iraq, with 99 fatalities. Only the invasion itself in March 2003 has been deadlier.

Glad you can take time to get these folks off your mind, George.
