At the wheat festival parade in September, in my hometown,
I will be giving out pictures of GW Bush's daughter, Jenna-face down, unclothed, drunk and passed out, on a picnic table, as well as pictures of the Abu Ghraib atrocities to any and all who will take them. This is a very conservative, midwestern town where people wouldn't dream of voting for anyone but Bush. Is this a good idea, or am I bringing the wrath of the Bush-god down on my head, unnecessarily? Each of these pictures will have just the caption, "Bush's Folly" on them. Effective? Possibly. Dangerous? Probably-I am disabled and can't move very fast.

1. As much as I can't stand them
I would leave the daughters out of it. I see a Ron Reagan-type disavowal coming down the road for at least one of them.

2. Not only that, it's just cheap
There are so MANY things he could educate the masses about -- cheap pix of the twins will only turn them off (and rightfully so, IMO). I don't know that the Abu Ghraib photos are a good idea either.

5. The picnic table picture is not a Bush.
Neither is the spread-eagled, lying on the sidewalk pic. There are others though.

If anything, float a legit picture with "Family Values?" on it.

Abu Ghraib pictures are fair game to show, IMO.

6. that is a photoshopped picture.. a FAKE..
You do the "cause" no good by stooping to that.. Better to hand out a paper that lists *'s failures..

As goofy as Jenna & Laura are, they are very normal for their age group.. People that age tend to be after fun & parties.
They also make no legislation, so they should be left out of it..

7. As much as I would love to discredit any bush
I'd leave the idiot twins out of anything. There are plenty of photos damning and damaging to the chimp*. A photo of the American coffins with the question Was it worth it? would do far more good than doctored, photos.

8. I'll repeat what others here have said.
The picnic table picture is a fake, it's not Jenna Bush. Hand out the Abu Ghraib ones, tho.

9. Thanks, all
I really appreciate your responses. Dummie me, I forget that no longer is a picture worth a thousand words. Your suggestions do matter, especially the flag-draped coffins. The combimed mental prowess in these forums is truly impressive.
