Its too bad thos 3 heads sitting on plates. It rather appears they

5. And King wouldn't have to be alive, either. . .
(and there's no doubt he'd do a better job). . .

6. Dr. King left more of a legacy than these jerks ever will...
One quote, any quote, from King pretty much makes everything Bush has ever said sound stupid.

13. Yes it does, if you are President Dumbfuck
and you didn't even bother to learn the lyrics to your third grade patriotic songs.

11. "... from every mountainside, let freedom ring!"
<snip>

This is our hope. This is the faith that I will go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. And this will be the day, this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning, "My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring!" And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.

And so let freedom ring -- from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.

Let freedom ring -- from the mighty mountains of New York.

Let freedom ring -- from the heightening Alleghenies of
Pennsylvania.

Let freedom ring -- from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.

Let freedom ring -- from the curvaceous slopes of California.

But not only that.

Let freedom ring -- from Stone Mountain of Georgia.

Let freedom ring -- from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.

Let freedom ring -- from every hill and molehill of Mississippi,
from every mountainside, let freedom ring!

<snip>

Dr. King's 'Dream' speech deserves reading, rereading, and rerereading by everyone.

He stirred the souls of many of us out of a lethargy of complacency. Thank God for Dr, King.

12. maybe....
...they realized that "Let Freedom Reign" is actually a White Supremacist anthem. Really.

14. So this banner is similar to a NYT "correction"?
Is this a peek at the new, more humble, maladministration?

15. Do we think Bush is seated on a special inflated pillow?
Why else would he appear taller than Colin Powell?
