Why on earth would you think the admiral couldn't get any dumber? The boy never ceases to amaze in that regard.....
The whole topic is silly. President's travel and it costs money. Shrub's wife went to Africa 5 or 6 times. Shrub took every August off while weed whacking in Waco. It's a dumb argument and it's a waste of time and bandwidth. Fuck off Whirly.

Mrs. Laura Bush is an effective ambassador on important issues for the President and our Nation.
First lady Laura Bush made her
third trip to Africa June 25-29, applying her personal touch to promote causes critical to the region -- causes of special concern to her and President Bush: combating the HIV/AIDS and malaria epidemics and improving the quality of education. This time she visited Senegal, Mozambique, Zambia and Mali. Her previous trips took her to Rwanda, Tanzania, South Africa, Liberia, Ghana and Nigeria. Her daughter, Jenna Bush, accompanied her, as did the State Department’s U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator Mark Dybul.

He will leave late next week for Zambia, where he will help refurbish a clinic, and then head to Tanzania, where his wife, Laura Bush, is organizing a forum for African first ladies."
