Internet chatter had led to speculation that it might be an urban myth -- nothing more than clever digital trickery spreading via the Web.
But our friend Bob Collins at Minnesota Public Radio assures us he's seen it with his own eyes:
There is a billboard along I-35 near Wyoming, Minn., with a huge photo of former president George W. Bush and this question: "Miss Me Yet?"
Now, the push is on to find out who paid to have it put up.
Bob says there's no readily apparent claim of ownership on the billboard, so he's heading back to the scene to see if he can find out who's behind the message. He's also got some local politicos looking into it. He'll keep us posted.
At first glance, it would seem to be from some person or group who isn't thrilled by President Barack Obama's performance so far -- unless it's a more ironic message from those who didn't think too much of Bush and want to remind voters about him.
Anyone out there know anything about where it came from? Tell us and we'll pass the word to Bob. As he says, we could do a little crowdsourcing.

I missed him the day he left the White House.
Carville:
>>”...enacted the largest unfunded entitlement programme in history with the Medicare prescription drug benefit.”
I find it outrageous that some who wish to be considered pluperfect “conservatives,” and wish to tell us all how to think, will use the same faux talking points as a sleazy leftist hack.
Although IMHO Med part D was poorly executed, and did not actually solve the problem; a case can be made for “necessity.”
Consider one case where (prior to part D) a person on SS disability had a total income of $837. His prescriptions were over $900/month. Then the Doctors added more, til the cost would have been over $1,000/month. What would a “libertarian constitutionalist” suggest, in this case?

Do you see an obvious problem with this statement?

Not me. I sighed in relief and thought, "Well, now we can move onto finding a true, small-government conservative that I don't have to constantly make excuses for." Bush was the GOP version of Jimmy Carter; he will go down in history as one of the worst presidents ever. In 2012, we need to run a solid, SMALL-GOVERNMENT genius that will use the Constitution as a litmus test on every piece of policy brought before his/her desk. No "compassionate conservatism" as Bush proposed from the start, no cut-tax-and-spend growing of government, no RINO's period!
