Bush tour Bus--Made in Canada
Edited on Tue May-04-04 06:59 PM by King of New Orleans
Apparently by a bunch of Frenchy speakin' Canucks.

I really don't have anything against the Canucks or the French speakers, it's just funny he's going around promising jobs in the Industrial heartland in a non-US made bus.

14. Blogger discussion - Politics: Bush Bus Tour Scam
President Bush's bus tour is a scam on several levels. First, he isn't actually using the bus: "The bus tour, about 60 miles through western Ohio, actually includes two airplane flights — one from Detroit to Toledo and another from Toledo to Dayton."

-cut-
And when the president opened it up for questions, he had some nice plants such as one, heard this morning on NPR, in which an earnest-sounding man named Joe Francisco asked how he could help the president win more Latino votes in Michigan. Aww. Maybe if the president offered people a chance to become citizens rather than just indentured servants, eh Joe?

Oh, how do I know the questions were planted? Here's Don Gonyea's money quote: "There were no direct questions about Iraq or even the economy in a state that has lost 300,000 jobs since the president took office. " Okay, maybe they weren't plants. Maybe they were just lobotomized.

11. And it turns out that he's spent two legs of the bus tour
Edited on Tue May-04-04 07:53 PM by rocknation
on a plane!

Tuesday's bus tour, about 60 miles through western Ohio, actually includes two airplane flights — one from Detroit to Toledo and another from Toledo to Dayton.
He couldn't sit on a bus long enough to go sixty miles?

:headbang:

What's that he's got his hands on? Could it be? The flag of the damned Frenchmen?



Well, what do you know? Junior caressing the French tri-color. Why does he hate America so?
