    Did Bush Do a (Silent) Cheney?


    A blogging East Lampeter, Penn., resident who goes by Jiveturkey insists that he was flipped the bird by the president of the United States on Friday.

    He and a friend were standing along the road as the Bush bus motorcade passed by. Here's what he says happened.

    "At the front of this second bus was The W himself, waving cheerily at his supporters on the other side of the highway. Adam, Brendan, and I rose our banner (the More Trees, Less Bush one) and he turned to wave to our side of the road. His smile faded, and he raised his left arm in our direction. And then, George W. Bush, the 43rd president of the United States of America, extended his middle finger.

    "Read that last sentence again.

    "I got flipped off by George W. Bush.

    "A ponytailed man standing next to us confirmed the event, saying, 'I do believe the President of the U.S. just gave you boys the finger.' We laughed probably for the next half hour, and promptly told everyone we knew."

    In the photo he supplies, the glare and the tint of the bus windows makes it impossible to verify. He posted more pictures of the bus tour here as well.

    Funny, if true. But I don't believe it for a minute.

    Yeah, Bush couldn't possibly read four words and form a reply in that short a period of time.

    If an anonymous blogger on the internet with no photo verification and no other witness beyond his anonymous (first names only don't count) friends and another anonymous, unknown bystander says it, it must be true. :rolleyes:

    Well it's probably because Bush has never seen anyone protesting him before, and thus had no idea to react when he saw his first protestor ever. :rolleyes:

    Change the thread title.

    Maybe Jiveturkey was flipped off by the guy who plays president Bush on 'Saturday Night Live'.

    LOL. Check out Michael Moore's website (or movie):

    FAHRENHEIT 9/11: “On the day George W. Bush was inaugurated, tens of thousands of Americans poured into the streets of D.C. They pelted Bush’s limo with eggs.”

    • “Shouting slogans like ‘Hail to the Thief’ and ‘Selected, Not Elected,’ tens of thousands of protesters descended on George W. Bush's inaugural parade route yesterday to proclaim that he and Vice President Dick Cheney had ‘stolen’ the election.” Michael Kranish and Sue Kirchhoff, “Thousands Protest ‘Stolen’ Election,” Boston Globe, January 21, 2001.
    • “Scuffles erupted between radicals and riot police while an egg struck the bullet-proof presidential limousine as it carried Mr. Bush and wife Laura to the White House.” Damon Johnston, “Bush Pledges Justice as Critics Throw Eggs,” The Advertisers, January 22, 2001.

    Time for our old friend, unsourced Hollywood gossip, to save the day!

    http://www.geocities.com/mnussitch/gossip.html

    Limbaugh, Rush. Conceited, morally bankrupt fascist. Divorced several times. Draft dodger. Long record of not voting, despite his political views. Allegedly busted, while in Pittsburgh, in a spot known as a pickup area for gay men around the University of Pittsburgh. Recovering drug addict (prescription pills and painkillers which he purchased illegally). Blustering buffoon on the air, very socially awkward and shy off the air.

    Drudge, Matt. FOD and egg fetishist who's done great damage to his gay brothers and sisters by aiding the cause of fascists, intolerant orthodox Christians, and conservative scum. Ethically challenged hypocritical lackey and moral catamite to right-wingers. We remember you from the old days, Matt-o, and when you fall back to obscurity we'll be waiting with sharpened knives.

    Bush, George W. Recovering drunkard (and probably a dry drunk) and cokehead. Not the brightest bulb in the lamp, and in fact couldn’t spell cat if you gave him the “c” and the “a.” The best argument against participatory democracy I know. Hypocritical moralist; Bill Clinton without the brains. Funded a girlfriend's abortion. At odds with his wife over how to treat his daughters' alcoholism. Believes (according to his own words) that only "believers in Jesus" will go to Heaven. Given his performance since being elected, it's now clear that the man is either a pathological liar or holds the American public in such contempt that he doesn't even bother to make his lies credible.

    ...and, perhaps best of all:

    Kerry, Senator John. Playa in his younger days. Linked with Dana Delaney, Morgan Fairchild, Catherine Oxenburg, and Michelle Phillips.

    You GO, big John!

    People are shocked at the smallest possibility that a head of state or government gives people the finger?

    You guys are pathetic.

    No. You misunderstand. No one here is shocked. The story is a pipe dream. We will mail you a clue, later.

    Theres a photo of Bush and his daughter on the front page of the Financial Times this morning.

    She looks real good considering shes the progeny of shapeshifting lizard creatures who take the form of Humans for our benefit.

    She also seems sober which must be a new experience for her....:D

    Sheesh. The chick gets busted with a fake ID and has been known to spend time in bars and all of the sudden she is drunk all the time?

    First of all, I find it ironic that this post comes from an Irishman.

    Second, What is the big deal about having a fake ID? I had one when I was a teenager and I would guess that most of the people on this site did as well.
