You Don't Really Wanna Go There, But Heck, Let'sThe certifiable RNC starts off its smear of Markos Moulitsas of Daily Kos by snidely pointing out that he had a "relaxing vacation".This coming from a party whose "war president" racked up the most vacation days of any president in modern history during hurricane Katrina. But heck, since you've led the way, RNC, why don't we go there. Seems like you need to be reminded of this: Bush: Caption: President Bush, left, plays a guitar presented to him by Country singer Mark Wills, backstage following his visit to Naval Base Coronado, Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2005. Bush visited the base to deliver remarks on V-J Commemoration Day.

John McCain, R-Ariz., left, upon his arrival at Luke Air Force Base in Glendale, Az., Monday, Aug. 29, 2005. McCain turned 69 Monday. Bush is traveling and will attend 'conversations' with experts and the elderly in El Mirage, Ariz., and Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., in an effort to sell older Americans on the value of a prescription drug benefit that begins next year for Medicare patients.
