Petty, thin-skinned Bush

[LuckyTheDog]

Got a bus driver fired for giving him "the bird." How petty is that?

The bus driver was being a jerk, for sure. But the leader of the free world should be able to let stuff like that roll off of him. Why take vengeance against someone like that -- who can do no harm to Bush?

Bush was having a great time, Reichert told a group of veterans in Orting recently. At least until he came even with one of the bus drivers.

The president turned to Reichert and said the bus driver had flipped him off.

Later, Reichert called the school district. After an investigation, the 43-year-old bus driver was fired in early September. She filed a union grievance earlier this month against the district, claiming wrongful termination.

1. Thats why this country is in such a mess.........

he is too thick headed to even take advice or criticism. Its George's way or the highway. Hopefully a week from today we will have knocked the wind out of his sails for good.

4. Now it makes sense

Now it makes sense why this trend just happens to cincide with the rise of the GOP:

2. if she mooned him, I suppose he'd have sent her to Gitmo!

Ironic how the GOP-maligned "Death of a President" film portrays a fictional (obviously!) version of Bush, who when confronted with obscenity-shouting protesters, takes the high road and says that he supports their right to express their opinions.

3. No WMDs under here. Nope, no WMDs under here.

I guess that kind of joking is okay when soldiers are dying. That's real class, huh?

9. "it is worse for a government to disrespect its people, than for people ...

... to disrespect their government."

I forget who said that, but it came up a few years ago (in Latin America, I think.)
