The Absent President
He biked with a “highschool friend” while D.C. was sent running. Why did no one tell Dubya? If there was no perceived threat (and thus no reason to notify him) why was Laura sent scurrying to the bunker? Why wasn’t it thought that Dubya might want to talk to his wife? Why was Condi said…
