Bush Poster Child

If the picture of little 3-year-old Sophia Parlock crying after some Kerry-Edwards supporters tore up her Bush-Cheney poster got to you, well, you weren't the only one. President Bush and even first pup Barney were dismayed too, we hear. It happened at a West Virginia rally last week for Democratic running mate Sen. John Edwards, to which Phil Parlock brought his daughter. 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." And on the picture, he inked: "To Sophia, Best wishes from me and Barney." Phil Parlock tells us it really wasn't necessary. "He already said 'Thank you' when he hugged her" at a previous Bush rally they attended, he says. "She bragged for days."

Prayer is necessary but faith is the only currency heaven recognizes.

Suggest that we stop looking at the antics of the opposition and decide instead that the One in whom we have placed our confidence is able to accomplish whatever He has said.

What's required is unswerving and utter acknowleged dependence/reliance/trust.

I notice the paiters union are the thugs.

Ive seen plenty of these guys huff to many fumes.

[concretebob]

Actually, GW was correct, although he could have said "Barney and me", because to use the singular, as in "Best wishes from me", would be proper, not "best wishes from I"

The company probably gave him a raise for intimidating others from supporting President Bush at a Kerry rally.

[Soul Seeker]

Yet another reason I love our President. I bet she'll treasure that poster for years.

[FlJoePa]

I know he was correct. It was the DU dummy that said he was wrong.

[Wait4Truth]

Welcome to both of you. You will find a supportive home here from people that appreciate your service to our great country. Little Sophia is going to be so thrilled to get her picture and poster from President Bush! Sorry about the lies you have had to endure..you won't find that here. God bless you and your great family.

Local radio talk shows are pushing the idea that it is the HAARP project that is creating these hurricanes - that there are unreported earthquakes BELOW the eyes of the hurricanes that proves they are made by the current administrations military-industrial complex to drive the pure innocent elders adn minorities from the liberal stronghold in florida.

The DUmmies are having kittens

I just went over there for the first time: It seems that the only reason for their existance is....US!

Even in the sign-up rules...they mention Freepers!!!

Suddenly, I feel important. :)

[rineaux]

the picture cracks me up.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Welcome, sis - thank you for your service also!

[Spacetrucker]

Did anyone notice that in the Wash. Times photo that the offending union thug's photo had been 'edited' out? Kind of strange, considering the W.T. is a semi-fair rag.

[rineaux]

WHAT?? edited out, are you F-ing with us?

[Robert A Cook PE]

Way cool!

[stands2reason]

They think they have the Father exposed as a fraud and are right now besides themselves with glee, hoping that this is their "Rathergate".

Can you elaborate a bit on that? I ain't sticking a single tootsie in that nasty place.

[Robert A Cook PE]

I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm not even here. ;p>

Ya know Sir Flagg of the Randy ..

Iffen ole Xena ain't here, we can make all sorts of nasty comments and inferences about her broadship's sword and short armour, and she will never know we did it ....

[Robert A Cook PE]

They bought him a case of Milwaukee's Beast?

Worse.

They bought him a pair of Hillary's Breasts ....

[capocchio]

"Ahem, it's Barney and I"

Actually, that paragon of DU grammarians got it wrong as well. It should be "Barney and me".

Unless you're the President and you're talking to a little girl who's been traumatized by union thugs. Then you can say it any way you want.

[SittinYonder]

No foot in mouth that I can see. I should've noted it was sarcasm and failed to. I'm a victim of my own laziness.
