Q Why did the President invite the President of Colombia to the ranch?
SCOTT McCLELLAN'S ANSWER: Well, President Uribe is a strong and courageous leader. He is a good friend of the President. He is someone who is committed to peace and prosperity in Colombia, committed to expanding democracy throughout the hemisphere. And we've worked very closely with Colombia in the war on terrorism. We've worked closely with Colombia and supported President Uribe's efforts to crack down on the narco-terrorism. So the President looks forward to welcoming him to the ranch.
We had a good visit to Colombia last November, and the President looks forward to welcoming him to the ranch and talking about how we can continue to move forward together on our shared priorities for the hemisphere, as well as how we can continue to support President Uribe and the people of Colombia as they move forward to build a more peaceful and prosperous future.
WOLFSTAR'S ANSWER: Well, duh?! Why do you THINK President Bush invited his colleague, the President of Columbia, to the ranch? Why does any national leader invite another national leader to his home? I know you presstitudes are dimbulbs, but this question is dumber than a box of rocks.

ROTFLOL!! I love your answer the most!!!
Conditions at Camp Crawford “Shocking and Inhumane” Inmates Complain
Danielle Crittenden Thu Aug 4,11:17 AM ETWACO, TX (AP)—Prisoners of Camp Crawford complain of small cells, poor meals, constant surveillance, and disrespectful—even disdainful—treatment from Presidential staff.
“Thirty-three days in this hell-hole feels like thirty-three years,” said a bitter long-time White House correspondent. “You’re away from your family. We’re all billeted into these crappy Waco motels—you know, the kind they hose down with antiseptic every day and you’ve got one lousy blanket which is made of recycled Coke bottles or something. There are huge fights for the cells with fast Internet connections but not many have them. The networks always get those. We didn’t mind the facilities in Santa Barbara or Martha’s Vineyard. Even Kennebunkport was more endurable than this.”

Journalists also described the routine brutality to which they’re subjected. The most recent case was when Time magazine’s correspondent had to be hospitalized after press pool duty. In answer to a question intended for the president, chief aide Karl Rove held up a copy of the magazine and made sinister flushing noises. The correspondent was treated for shock at the local hospital and released later in the day.
“It’s clear they don’t respect us or our beliefs,” the correspondent said angrily, as he was led back to his cell at the Super 8. “They’re holding us here against our will, and with no charges. Where is Amnesty International?”

Maybe we should send this link to Carolyn?
Hah! Some "vacation" I'd say.
Thank you Wolfstar, for today's Dose. And I also nominate you for GWB's Press Secretary.
Howdy, howdy!

One of the greatest I`ve ever seen.
Thank you. And thank President Bush...
Suggestion: All over the country 'dosers' cold email their local MSM rag this list of the President's activities during the next three days of his 'vacation.' They probably will need the heads-up!
