No coincidence here

On the same day that the Treasury Department notifies Congress that we're once again bumping up against the debt limit and are tapping employee retirement accounts to cover the difference, George Bush is making a hastily scheduled trip tomorrrow to vote in the Texas primaries in Crawford because somebody in his office didn't send in the absetee ballot forms.

How is this connected? Just how much is Bush's trip gonna cost? Reddhead captures it pretty well.
