Why Does Bush's Summer Break Get a Break From The MSM?

Really, why isn't the media lambasting Bush every day for taking an extended vacation while the violence in Iraq continues to mount? I recognize that a President can stay in touch electronically and do his work from Air Force One or any location on the planet. But the idea of taking a long, leisurely vacation would be outrageous if Bush hadn't already lowered the bar so dramatically that we don't even expect him to attend a single funeral for a fallen soldier.

Mr. President, Americans think you're doing a terrible job handling the war in Iraq. They think you lied to convince the nation to support the invasion. And the insurgency is stronger than ever. Given all that, how can you possibly justify taking an extended vacation? Most Americans get two weeks a year. Do you really think the President should take five weeks off when we're at war?
