GONE

I just heard a long, roaring takeoff.

The airport is only a couple of miles away. In town.

The flight path goes the other way from us but I could hear this one; loud and clear.

It must be the huge 747 USAF1.

We don't get 'big planes' very often.

Bush has been here. He is on his way across the mountains to John Wayne Airport in Orange County.

Appropriate in a way, but then not. John was a far better screen cowboy than junior.

Tomorrow he is giving a speech on his immigration proposals in the OC.

He will not be welcomed. It is probably a gaff on their part.

A lot of Republican pols will be no shows.

As for his visit here, at least the plane didn't blow up.

There were some protestors.

Our Rep. Mary Bono got half an hour with him in the limo (she says).

Actually, she probably did.

She is not nearly as bad as she might be.

She came to congressional life newly widowed and fell under the sway of the right wing for awhile.

Then she woke up and smelled the coffee. Her constituency is anything but typical right wing. Mostly libertarians and radical homo-progressives.

A tough straddle, but she is an ex-gym trainer and has the flexibility to do it.

I sort of thought her an airhead, trophy wife type and maybe she was but that is not the case now.

Bushie came for a fundraiser and a visit to the Marine base in the high desert; a 'copter hop away.

He didn't do a whole lot else here.

He did ride the mountain bike, incidentally.

Readers wondered if I would ride with him.

No.

He went to 'either the San Bernadino or San Jacinto park areas'. Pretty covert.

So, that is the report on our little time with the shithead. Or is it head shit?
