Liberals launch traitorous parody of GWBush04.com


August 20, 2003

Bush-Orwell ‘04 today discovered a disrespectful and poorly-designed parody of the official campaign site which is spreading false information regarding George W. Bush’s record as President.

The official Bush-Orwell site, located on the internet at GWBush04.com, plans to file a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission to stop the phony site from operating. The parody site, currently found on the web at georgewbush.com, is clearly designed to mimic the official Bush-Orwell site in an effort to confuse ordinary Americans.

Presidential Adviser Karl Rove took issue specifically with how President Bush’s record is depicted on the fake site.

“My beef is with the way georgewbush.com misrepresents the actual record of George W. Bush,” Rove said. “For instance, the site seems to communicate that Bush has a positive record when it comes to the environment. That just isn’t true. The skies and oceans are much more polluted now than when Bush came into office, and he’s never done a thing to reverse that.”

2. My God! It's so bad these days
I can barely (I think I can) tell the parody sites from the real thing. Of course when you're as outlandlish at everything you do as bush*sucks, this is bound to happen.

5. Very amusing site!
I plan to be a frequent visitor here AND at that link to snag snippets of good articles & posts to re-post (with credit given) on another website I frequent (and moderate) It should get some noise going on over there. LOL I love this site! I had no clue it existed until doing a google search for something special to piss off my conservative pals... :evilgrin:
