...nice to see a President mixing it up outside the Rose Garden. Clinton's body language says, I wish I had two more hours to spend with you; Bush's says, I can't wait to get home. Bush brags about the searing, dry heat at his remote Texas ranch, where he will spend most of August hanging with his heifers. (Real men don't go to Maine.) The softie Clinton will once again mooch a house off friends to swing among the swells on Martha's Vineyard. There must be some middle ground between these two. Bush is promising...

But then anyone who takes so much pleasure in the hot wallow of his vacation destination must have thick skin.

...Coming as it did near the end of a monumentally slow news week, the surprise announcement drew metric tons of media attention, and kept the vacationing President firmly in the spotlight. Saturday, Bush had left Washington for his ranch in Crawford, Texas on a high in the wake of several legislative triumphs, and his press office made sure each reporter had memorized every detail. In the course of one week, the Bushies noted, the President won over the famously hardheaded Charlie Norwood on the patients? bill of rights, shepherded his energy bill through the House, and spread new enthusiasm...
