Maybe better: George "Wrongway" Bush
Eventually shortened to "Wrongway Bush" and then "Good Ol' Wrongway is at it again". Etc, etc.

4. Wrongway Corrigan
There was both a WWII pilot and a famous football play. Can't remember which was Corrigan.

5. Not to mention the good

Captain Wrongway Peachfuzz of Rocky and Bullwinkle fame (for those of us younger than your dad, but older than you!) Here's a character "profile":

Real Name: Captain Peter Wrongway Peachfuzz
Sex: Male
Occupation: Ship Captain
Home: USA
Education: No sir.
Tag Line: Huh?
Biography: His name says it all. He is the owner and captain of the S.S. Guppy and has no clue what he's doing. It was rumored that he was a member of the Navy, but all evidence shows he's never been in the Navy. Nor has he ever been on a boat before. On his last voyage, he and his crew spent 43 days going in a circle. They went 200 miles and were still in the bay. In fear of their lives, his crew installed a fake captain's wheel so that Captain Peachfuzz only "thought" he was steering. Last reports of his whereabouts say he got lost inside of a paper bag and cannot find his way out.


Does this not just scream Bush to you?

6. Yay,, It was "Wrong Way Corrigan"
He was a laughing stock for years because he went, (steadfastly, relentlessly) all the way down the field and scored for the wrong team!

9. WIMPY !!
Edited on Mon Sep-06-04 08:17 PM by Fozzledick
He wimped out of Viet Nam, then wimped out of guard duty.

He wimped out on 9-11 when he ran away and hid in a bomb shelter on the other side of the continent.

He's too wimpy to even show his face in public, appearing only at staged events of heavily screened supporters.

If he's too much of a wimp to show up for a debate, rub his nose in it!

The few who are still "undecided" are too lazy to reach with any complex intellectual argument, we need to hit them with a simple, emotional appeal they can understand. Just keep reminding them that he's always been a WIMP!! :mad:

Captain "Wrongway Peachfuzz" : see above post and thanks for the reminder. (I LOVED Captain Wrongway)

13. In every speech, Kerry should refer to "my opponent..."
"...George WW Bush" If every campaign pronouncement uses this device it will enter the mainstream. On every issue there's the Kerry way and the Wrong Way.

Is the country on the right path? No. We're going the Wrong Way. Dump George WW Bush and the Wrong Way Republicans.
