phoning it in

With little Dark W. Helmet back at his "hard work" in Washington, D. C. after being on vacation for four-and-a-half weeks, it is also now being reported that Vice-President "Dick" Cheney has been vacationing at his Jackson, Wyoming-area home for the last couple of weeks.

So, in a country at war with an enemy that strikes with no warning, the two highest-ranking officials in the country can't even trouble themselves to vacation at different times?

Thank goodness the grownups are in charge.
