CRAWFORD, Texas - President Bush (news - web sites) skipped a scheduled fishing outing Saturday morning to deal with the Iraq (news - web sites) crisis, but his catch the day before was something to brag about.

Bad imagery in a week with a lot of casualties. This was not a week for a vacation.

Bush ain't squat till he's parked his Texas butt on a bucket for 5 hours in 10 degree weather and 20 MPH winds on the ice and fished for perch here in Michigan......

Fishing on ice. Love ya' man, but that is about as dumb as a bag of hammers.

Normally, each time a fisherman tells the story of how big the fish was, the fish gets bigger with every telling. Unfortunately, for the pres., he won't get that luxury because of the photographers present.

So you want GWBush to hunker down in the bunker, like Jimmah Carter, circa 1980. LOL Boy, you are out to lunch!

I tried ice fishing once, but it was just too much work chopping a hole big enough for the boat.

That's the same reason I quit deer hunting....

I parked my butt in the cold and saw nothing!!!

I am from Manistee and have spent several years on the west side, along Lake Michigan.

It is beautiful, and I will someday return there...but you ice-fishermen and deer hunters are NUTS!!!

On the other hand, I'll gladly help dress and eat whatever you give me, heck you can even use my garage!!

Fool, my swamp don't freeze!

'bout an hour fore dinner I bait up some scrap'ins and toss it out the wind'er. Fore long...dinner's on the hook.

If'in you ain't got your supplies laid up before your lake freeze over you deserve to starve.

Learned to drop my hubby at the iced over pond and went shopping. He was happy. I was even happier. He got a fish and a cold. I got a new coat and a day off!!
