Source of impeachment banner remains unknown

County officials don't know who hung a political banner on the Pinellas Trail overpass, but they took it down as soon as they heard about it.

By NICOLE JOHNSON
Published November 6, 2005

PALM HARBOR - Motorists and pedestrians passing the Pinellas Trail overpass just north of Curlew Road one morning last week were asked to take on a hefty task.

"Impeach Bush Now!" read a large white banner hanging from the overpass.

And so it seemed, a particularly politically contentious week had spilled out onto the Pinellas Trail.

It's not clear who posted the 19-foot-long vinyl banner, but Pinellas County officials said it was not sanctioned. The sign was likely put up Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, said Paul Cozzie, county director of parks and recreation.

A local Democratic group denied responsibility for the message.

1. Heard dueling banjos when I read this line...
"It sounds like we have some of the far left in north county," Wadlinger said."

Yep, we're in your home town and we're coming at ya!

:rofl:

8. Then the "far left" is in the majority.
More people believe it is okay to beat your child in public or cheat on your spouse than it is to support Dick Cheney.

12. And the way it was said implies that this
Wadlington represents the majority... clever aren't they?

32. A Majority also favors impeachment (53 percent).
Mr. Wadlinger should stick that in his pipe and smoke it.

14. Support the Constitution, and you're far left
Blindly support Little Georgie, and you're a patriot.

My, how the national dialogue has been perverted.

24. I'd be glad to take full reponsibility for that deed.
I don't even know where Pinellas Trail overpass is, but I love to do it somewhere here in Denver.

34. Hey - nice boost from putting it in the news! Used to be, it would just
be censored and suppressed. Publishing about it this way is something that wouldn't have happened a year ago.

Dissent is no longer made invisible. And to the sign hanger(s) - :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
