BUSH giving THE FINGER to a DUer gets into print!

Bush on the Bus
The president's magical mystery tour through our American nightmare
by Justin Raimondo

"Now comes the good part. After waiting around for about 45 minutes, the motorcade passed by us again. A few police cars, followed by a van or two, drove by. Then, a Bush/Cheney bus passed, followed by a second one going slower. 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."

9. That would have been priceless
and would help cost Bush the election, I think he's toast now anyway but another nail in the coffin doesn't hurt.

2. Here's VP Nelson Rockefeller (R) giving the finger...

During the 1976 election, Rockefeller was caught on camera giving the finger to hippie protesters at a Republican rally at the State University of New York at Binghamton.

The press asked Bob Dole, then the Republican vice presidential candidate, why he didn’t join Rockefeller in a two-bird salute to the unruly crowd. Dole reminded reporters, “I have trouble with my right arm.”

6. it sounds like him....
What do you expect from that kind of mentality? Isn't he presidential? He has no shame or sophistication. Just a crude, mean spirited, dumb, spoiled and useless jerk.
