New Yorkers got to kick President George W. Bush's butt on Thursday, sort of.

Performance artist Mark McGowan kicked off his bid to crawl for 72 hours across Manhattan dressed as the president, offering the opportunity to kick his backside.

The controversial artist from London began his odyssey from New York's Lincoln Centre wearing a rubber George Bush mask, a business suit, knee pads, work gloves and a sign stuck to his cushioned posterior reading simply: "Kick My Ass".

I wish I could be in New York. I would kick his ass until his nose bleeds.

Hey! I might take a ride down there to New York just to help this guy's performance art!

This sounds great! I'm gonna bring all my friends, too!

WOOOHOOO!

Under an authoritarian regime, open displeasure of the leading ruler is verboten and subject to arrest and/or death.

This guy would have been on his way to a re-education camp and the participants would have simply "disappeared".

And these same azzhats think Bush is a Hitler-type. Trust me, this crap wouldn't go on if he was half of one.

In a 1981 appearance on SNL, Howard "Johnny Fever on WKRP In Cincinnati" Hesseman engaged in "Moon The President" stunt.

Isn't it "odd" that GOP critics of Dem presidents don't have to be so juvenile about it?

What was the mask for? So they'd know which end to kick?

I have a feeling he will get equal opportunity kicks from both the left and the right.

He deserves it. Now, where did I put my steel-capped boots?

I don't think one can waive one's right not to be assaulted. Love to see an incarcerated kicker and an injured kickee.

Hmm, then again.. As a W supporter would I like to kick this guy? You bet.. And, hey! I'm not a professional kicker, not my fault if I miss his padded posterior and punt his pud by accident.

If he dressed as any Democrat, you could kick him anywhere on his body.

I'd show up in a XXXlintigula mask with a couple of strippers and steal the show.

Many liberals are still living in 1981 -- those that aren't living in 1968, I mean ...

Hopefully Chuck Norris is in town, and kicks this guy so hard he wakes up a Republican.

Nahhhh...this Massachusetts Resident is going to buy himself a great looking pair of Texas Cowboy Boots with sharp, SHARP toes on them!

And, I will be sure to spend a few weeks at the gym toning up that right leg of mine...

What's funny is, back in January 2001, I said that Clinton should have to walk back to Arkansas from Washington and we could all line up to give him some swift kicks along the way.

Just think of it, you won't be kicking the president or even a proxy supporter. You'll be kicking the buttocks of a groveling liberal mocking the President.

Can't say that I endorse violence, even from a masochist asking to be assaulted. A genuine sadist would say "NO" when a masochist says "beat me".
