Perhaps GWB could enact a law prohibiting protests within a given area surrounding his ranch, in much the same way as the UK government has round our parliament because their consciences pricked them every time thay had to pass a man making a justified protest in Parliament Square.
As far as the 5 weeks vacation in a time of conflict is concerned, again GWB may be taking lessons from Tony Blair who was so bloody immature as to refuse to break his holiday to go the the funeral of a great Socialist called Robin Cook.
