Bush goes to Wisconsin. Visits the wrong NFL football training camp.
His advance team made a bit of a mistake, when they made plans for GW Bush to visit an NFL training camp while in Wisconsin recently.
Somehow, Bush wound up at the training camp for the Kansas City Chiefs. With all due respect to Kansas City, Missouri, the Chiefs, and their fans, there IS an NFL football team that actually PLAYS in Wisconsin and doesn't just practice there. If he's trying to win votes in Wisconsin, then I would suggest that he visit Wisconsin's team. In case his advance team is lurking, and wants a tip, the name of that team I'm talking about is the Green Bay Packers. America's team. (in spite of what the Texas liars say).
If Dumbyah had gone to the Packers camp, he would have witnesses a wonderful tradition. When the players make the trek from the clubhouse to the practice field a couple of hundred yards away, they have a tradition of riding the local children's bicycles to the field. Smiles, high-fives, waves, and autographs are given freely. While the players ride their bikes, the lucky kids get to carry the players' helmets, and they gain a memory that will surely be with them for their entire lifetimes.

1. Maybe Bush will come back and ride HIS bicycle!
Can you imagine the Wisconsin vote if Bush were to crash with Brett Favre on it?

2. You know.....
I am not even that big of a football fan and even I know that Wisconsin's team is the Green Bay Packers! I also know that there are two Kansas City's and one isn't in Wisconsin. What a gaffe!

5. Someone who was a cheerleader and didn't carry the
football.

No offense to cheerleaders past or present :-) .

4. Well, it looks as if he might have to mingle with the public
if he goes to the Green Bay Packer training camp. Can't have that, can we.

6. Wait! There's more!
I found this news story:

Bush's visit to Wisconsin, on the eve of a weeklong vacation on his ranch in Texas, was his 13th as president to this state, one of about 15 states considered battlegrounds for the November election.

After the rally in Chippewa Falls, Bush took a bus tour through rural Wisconsin, his third this year, stopping at a cheese factory and at the training camp for the Kansas City Chiefs football team.

In the afternoon, Bush fielded friendly questions from supporters at a waterside rally in Hudson, Wis.

At the Hudson event, two questioners told Bush they were praying for him, and one named an opponent rarely mentioned on the campaign trail. "The enemy that we need the greatest freedom from right now happens to be Satan," the questioner said. Bush rapidly changed the subject.

9. I saved that 4th Picture Down.
It shows #24 going to slap a kids hand. Plus if you look at the ceiling in the Oneida Gate in the back round. 6 guys and myself troweled on that whole ceiling. I worked at Lambeau for about 8 months. Then again for another 3 months later in the project. That is my proudest work!

12. actually it's a pretty "inexpensive" Kodak digital
but it does most of what I want it to do. Thanks for the compliment! It was quite an event to see this. It made me EVEN MORE of a Packer fan! I didn't realize that was possible, since I was already the biggest Packer fan in the world.

14. Rev. it would be neat to find a photo of Bush with the Chief's players
Just spreading the photo all around the state, and pointing out that Bush was visiting the CHIEFS while in Wisconsin might raise a lot of eyebrows in cheeseville.

15. Speak of the devil...
http://www.uwrf.edu/chiefs/photogallery.php

There are over 300 photos of Bush at the KC Chiefs training camp. Some of them look a little embarassing too. The goofiest of the photos could be included with a caption like, "President Bush visiting Kansas City Chiefs training camp while in Wisconsin". All the Packer fans will start to wonder, "Hmmm. I don't remember him visiting the PACKER training camp...".

17. Was Bush looking for Chmura?
Remember when good old Chmura was too morally upstanding to go with the team to the White House after the Super Bowl?

18. I wanted to kick American Chewey's ass after that stunt
Of course, later we learned that American Chewey was boinking teenage girls while the wife was out of town. What a great moral leader Chewey turned out to be.
