PRIORITIES

Bush still refuses to meet with Cindy Sheehan, the mother camped out near Crawford, Texas. On the upside for the administration, it has taken the Karl Rove story off the front page. One the downside it is focusing the blunders of this administration in Iraq.

Bush is down there for five weeks' vacation, with nothing more on his schedule than exercise, ride his bike, clear brush and go for a bike ride with Lance Armstrong. If I was Lance Armstrong I think I would take a pass lest he muddy his recent accomplishments. Anyway, with nothing better to do and nothing demanding on his schedule he can't walk down to the end of the driveway and deal with this. If you remember there is only one time he was able to be bothered while vacationing at the ranch. No, it wasn't August 6, 2001 when he got the Presidential Daily Briefing that bin Laden was intent on attacking within the U.S. He was up in the middle of the night hightailing it back to Washington to sign the Terri Schiavo bill, which turned out to be quite a fiasco.

Cindy Sheehan seems to be turning out to be a 'mother of one', and it should probably be a lesson to us all who say, "I am only one person, what can I do?" There are candlelight vigils goin on around the country at 7:30 pm this evening.
