Documenting the Ineptocracy

For a President obsessed with secrecy and 'undisclosed locations, it seems his staff is trying its best to get the guy offed.

How much do you think Osama bin Laden would pay to know exactly when and where the President was traveling, and who was with him? Turns out, he wouldn't have had to pay a dime. All he had to do was go through the trash early Tuesday morning.

It appears to be a White House staff schedule for the President's trip to Florida Tuesday. And a sanitation worker was alarmed to find in the trash long hours before Mr. Bush left for his tripÂ…

The documents details the exact arrival and departure time for Air Force One, Marine One and the back up choppers, Nighthawk 2 and Three.

It lists every passenger on board each aircraft, from the President to military attaché with nuclear football. It offers the order of vehicles in the President's motorcade.

We faxed a copy to the Secret Service, which as usual rule declined to say much, other than insisting that it was a White House staff document, not a Secret Service document.

Â…The Secret Service referred us to a White House spokeswoman, who declined to comment on the record.
George W. Bush was supposed to be the 'CEO President' who would run the country like a business. Well, I've seen business that are run like Bush runs this country. I stocked up on cheap stuff at the 'going out of business' sale.

And yes, I shamelessly 'borrowed' this from Shakes at Shakespeare's Sister.
