…and everybody ignores him. Sweet.
OK, so it was a diner, not a bar. Same deal.
Only 30% of Americans like the way Bush is running the country, and 58% wish he was already gone. It may be a very small bit of schaudenfreude, but it’s sweet to see Bush come face to face with a public that wishes he’d just disappear.
According to that article, even Fox News is ignoring him now. If it weren’t for the fact that Cheney’s head is jutting out from a tear in his torso, I’d almost feel sorry for him.
He didn’t declare the place a Free Speech Zone and have everyone arrested?
It is amazing to me that Bush’s approval rating is as high as it is. Who are these people who think he’s done a good job?
The Board of Directors of $75million-an-hour profit Exxon thank him cheerfully.
So it really didn’t play in Peoria, is what the article is trying to say.
Remember a year or so ago when the CEOs of all the big oil companies went to testify to Congress when everyone was whining about the gas prices? Remember this guy? I’ve never before seen a real life version of the 1890-style newspaper plutocrat caricatures. The only thing missing was a cigar and him holding giant bags with dollar signs on them.
No, no, no – the people have to go to the free speech zone, away from the President. Bush is then cloistered in a safe, loyal bubble where everyone takes an oath before being allowed to enter…I’m sure someone has a catchy name for it, but I’m not clever enough to think of one.
Such sanctuaries are often referred to as “Emerald City”.
To steal from The Daily Show, 30% of the American public think Bush is doing a good job. Coincidentally, that’s the same percentage that think Adam and Eve rode around the Garden of Eden on dinosaurs.
Was he looking for Weapons of Mass Destruction.
“Say, Jim, ain’t that your dog attacking the President?”
Maybe all the patrons were Australians. I remember a few years ago Kevin Costner went for a walk in Sydney and stopped at a pub to have a drink and although the locals chatted to him, no-one gave any impression that they cared who he was. Apparently Costner thought it was great to just be treated like an average slob.
If it was anything like our diners, he just had to look on the plates.
What I’m wondering now is, is there video of this? It would be priceless.
Wasn’t quite what I had in mind…
… or that can’t find Canada on a map…
Oops, sorry. I should have actually watched it.
but, actually, kinda poignant… it’s like something out of Bloom County. They shut down main street so the President and his entourage could drive through, and it looks like they had to send people on ahead to clear out the tumbleweeds… except for these three people waving little flags and recording them driving by… they needed a drummer, bass and trumpet player standing on a street corner playing “Hail to the Chief” for it to be perfect.
Anyone can miss Canada, all tucked away down there…
Small and easily misplaced…like your car keys.
