Chimpy sends the little girl a fresh poster to replace her torn one.

[Fridays Child]

Isn't this just the icing on the Parlock cake of fakery:

-snip-

After seeing the picture of the tearful Sophia on her dad's shoulders, aides said the president was sending her a little note Friday along with a signed campaign poster and an autographed photo of the prez and his dog. "Dear Sophia," Bush penned, "Thank you for supporting my campaign. I understand someone tore up your sign. So I am sending you a new sign and a signed picture. Please give my best to your family. Sincerely, George W. Bush."

1. Gee. How magnanimous of him.

[LisaL]

2. How sweet.

I actually predicted Bush is going to do that. I didn't know Barney would get in on the act. The funniest thing is of course Mr. Parlock why says it isn't necessary. One would think Mr. Parlock would be happy and greatful that Bush contacted him. Methinks he is afraid of all the attention.
I wonder why?

[partygirl]

36. It was probably

Barney's idea. He is the class act of the bunch.

[wtmusic]

3. Awww

Does this sound reminiscent of Kerry's 'fired worker' story?

That Mr. Rove doesn't miss a beat.

[Joanne98]

38. Notice the dejected and beated down look on his poor face...

I wonder how long he practiced that in the mirror?

[wtmusic]

4. Cool -- a new one to tear up!!

Very thoughtful of the president :P

[n2mark]

19. All I can say is

Copy Cat, Copy Cat. Shrub has such an inferiority complex; sad he feels he must play high school popularity games. He has never grown up, still a teeny bopper!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

5. I told the story of the woman who lost her job

because of her Kerry sticker and how Kerry offered her a job back. Usually people say right on, but today, at a bank with FAUX blaring, the clerk looked at me stoney eyed and said, "I'm not interested. I don't want to hear about it."

I wanted to say, "If you aren't concerned about what's happening in this country, you're not paying attention," but I didn't. I think the clerk was pressured by others (everyone was looking at us) to say what she said.

[TA]

21. You should have immediately told the clerk after her comment

that you were going to close out your account because of her shit ass comment.

[alittlelark]

6. absolutely, positively nauseating!

by the way your GWB does chicken right is AWESOME!

[elehhhhna]

7. "Years from now, you can sell the pic on ebay to help pay off the deficit"

8. 28th thread on child/ripped sign/staged

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. So?

:shrug: We have to keep nailing anything and everything. Hide the threads instead of counting. It's better for everyone's blood pressure.

[Kierkegaard]

9. Oh shit...

I can't take any more of this f#@$ing garbage! This opportunistic, lying, greedy, corrupt, two-faced piece of maggot encrusted llama shit is GOING DOWN HARD!!! There is NO WAY we as Americans can tolerate this assbag for 4 more minutes, much less 4 more years.

Somebody :nuke: this fucker!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lefta Dissenter]

32. YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!!

I've owned llamas for 16 years, so I've seen my share of llama shit, and I would rather bathe in llama poo than be anywhere close to that piece of pigshit you are referring to! :P

[wurzel]

10. Wasn't all this staged?

I understood that the "thug" who ripped her sign was her own brother.

[lostnfound]

12. No proof of that but the father is DEFINITELY a serial 'protest victim' nt

[LisaL]

16. I would really like to find out who that "union" guy is.

How hard can it be?

[AP]

27. It's his son. Look at the picture at truthout.com.

The one in front of the truck.

It's pretty obvious. Look at their shoulders.

[RevCheesehead]

35. I LOVE those pictures!!!!!!!!!!

brilliant! positively brilliant!!

[AP]

37. Here's a Hi-Res version of my sig photo. You can make one-sheets and...

postcards.

13. And to the gold star mother:

You're arrested for interrupting my wife!

[fishnfla]

14. You know that man who got decapitated?

Not Nick Berg, the other guy whose name escapes me. His son lives over here in Melbourne and was on local news the other night. He said he received condolences from across the world upon the news of his father's death, including many foreign world leaders.

Except his own president didn't send or say one thing to him or anyone in their family. He even contacted the WH numerous times. Nothing in reply.

The poor little girls father is a fraud, good for the campaign. The poor man's father was slaughtered, bad for the campaign.

EDIT The gentleman's name was Paul M. Johnson, Jr. His son is Paul the third

[yardwork]

26. Isn't that awful? Chimp doesn't miss an opportunity

to make somebody else look bad, but when there's a need for him to show real empathy, a need for him to be a leader, he always fails.

The speed with which his letter went out to this scammer - and the speed with which it was bigged up by the news - makes me suspect that the WH was in on the set-up from the beginning. Parlock is probably rewarded well for doing his dog and pony act.

[Lefta Dissenter]

31. fish

very similar to what I was thinking, though my thoughts were of all of the servicemen and women who have been slaughtered and maimed. He doesn't have the time of day to honor them... :(

[npincus]

15. I emailed the jerks at US News with a link to the Truthout article.

[LTR]

17. Very fitting

Phony incident, phony president.

[AngryOldDem]

18. What a guy!

:puke:

[troublemaker]

20. Excellent. Now he's personally involved, so should be a story

[gristy]

29. That's what I'm thinking

Stupidshit has managed to keep this in the news. By the middle of next week I want to see one of those relationship stick diagrams for this whole sorry episode in the NY Times!

[irancontra]

22. careful little girl, make sure the poster wasn't rolled up really thin

;p

[ncteechur]

23. I'm quite sure her dad had another one in his pants!! eom

[AP]

25. Heh heh.

Very funny.

Now give me that damn poster so I can tear it up.

Wait. Where's the camera?

[liberal N proud]

24. Can we all say Awwwww! All at once now.

[Career Prole]

28. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAWWWWW!!:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:
I should have borrowed some eyes to read that. :eyes:

[GeorgeBushytail]

34. Freepers drooling over Bush's "class"

It would be nice to see this backfire on Bush.

I do feel sorry for the little girl.

[Clinton Crusader]

30. oh for fucks sake!

is this asshat's answer to Kerry hiring the bumper sticker woman??

when will this frickin nightmare END?
:kick:

[seabeyond]

33. like kerry gave the woman the job

that got fired for having a sticker.

ya there is a comparison

and they went with the intent of getting that sticker torn up. one done in honesty and one done in deceit

[Behind the Aegis]

39. How sweet of him

I wonder if he has ever sent a hand-written note to any of the crying mothers and fathers, spouses, and children of soilders lost in Iraq? Some how I doubt it.

He is a piece of shit!
