Sorry, this story is only available in the Image Section of Yahoo News. Of course, the Liberal Media chose to ignore it otherwise.

4. If I were Bush, I would just slink off into a corner
and croak. How can he even face anyone knowing that people all of the world including his own country are demonstrating against him. I've never in all my years--and they are many--heard of so much anger against a president. He should be too embarrassed to run. Or is he too damn stupid to know what is going on? Should we tell him??

About 10,500 members — people who have made donations in order to score the T-shirt — belong to Run Against Bush, says spokesman Ben Coffey Clark. Proceeds go to pro-Kerry efforts, especially those in swing states.

Anyone can buy a Run for Bush shirt. Brown, a 33-year-old runner, created the Internet-based small business in May. He had been brainstorming how to get involved when he spotted a Run Against Bush T-shirt.

"And I thought, there you go, that is a good idea," Brown says.
...
He's sold about 1,000 T-shirts so far, approximately 100 in Texas. (Californians lead with the most purchases.)
