Bush Sends Troops to Stop Sales of Swift Boat Book (2004-08-25) -- President George Bush today mobilized Army National Guard units nationwide to confiscate copies of Unfit for Command, the controversial anti-Kerry book by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
The move comes in response to demands by former Sen. Max Cleland and former Army Green Beret Jim Rassman, whose life was saved by John Forbes Kerry during the Vietnam War. Mr. Kerry is a well-known presidential candidate, Vietnam veteran and also a U.S. Senator.
"As commander in chief, my first duty is to protect our homeland," said Mr. Bush in a brief televised statement to the nation. "I have ordered infantry and mechanized divisions to take up positions at all Barnes and Noble stores and other brick-and-mortar book retailers and warehouses. They will neutralize all existing stocks of this dangerous volume and interdict supply lines to prevent further shipments."
Mr. Bush said he has also ordered the FBI to divert internet sales so that customers who order Unfit for Command through Amazon.com will instead receive a book which is "certifiably true."
You are going to have one heck of a time trying to explain to the Times reporter what a "lable" is or how to be "finny". I wouldn't want to be in your shoes.
It's not finny. Kerry Klowns are finny.
Actually yes, because it made me look rather ignorant. Good point and I will be much more careful in my replies.
It would be finny if it wasn't so series.
LOL, my Grandfather has a car just like that!!!!
How does 'finny' get added to the official Freeper lexicon?
Hunbles, typo is a classic, along the same lines as the one you mention. Who knows, with time the FR lexicon could become hugh.
Not in my mind. It was a typo, the 'u' being so close to the 'i' and all.
I replied because I did find humor in the article and the typo was rather funny.
I think it just has to happen. By you making direct reference to it becoming Freeperlore, I think that rules it out. :)
We were trying, though.
This will most likely lead to another Kerry Purple Heart!

In response to President Bush's actions today, arch Republican conservative and Democrat bete noir, John McCain, denounced the President and vowed to begin impeachment proceedings. "These Swift Boat vets are heroes," announced McCain. "After all, John Kerry and I weren't the only men to serve in Veitnam."
Not in this case.... Look how much fun we're having with it.
This makes us look like a bunch of dumbbies.
Eye agree. The spelling fakter hear is a hugh misteak.
but it is a little fishy
