Well, just because he's on the longest vacation EVER doesn't mean Bush has to stay at Crawford Ranch, especially since the environs is now being polluted by those disturbing trilling sounds issuing from
Joan Baez' mouth. What he really needs is a super-rich enclave with tons of golfing opportunities and nowhere for dowdy, embarrassing protestors to go. And he's found it! Welcome to
Donnelly, Idaho, Mr. President!
While not the easiest town to find on the map, Donnelly has become a premier destination for the wealthy in recent years — evidenced by the private jets at the area's airport and the ski and golf resort carved from a nearby mountainside.
What's interesting about Donnelly is that in many ways it's a microcosm of other places for the super-rich:
According to a Valley County study, rents here have risen 50 percent since 2000. Mobile home parks are disappearing and recreational-vehicle parks are being used for employees, the study said, making it tough to fill some jobs because people who'd take them don't have a place to live.
Sounds like a mountainous San Francisco with less hairdressers, doesn't it?

I live in Idaho. Believe me, if they say its nice, its a lie. ALLLLL lies. LIESSSS! But since they don't even bother to wait for our polls to close before the call the state for the republican in /every/ election, Bush should feel right at home.
