Here is the original picture:
Here is Bush's reply:
Here is what the memo really said:
"Dear Amber: Thanks for your kind letter. I wish we could meet sometime. Please give your family my very best wishes ... Best wishes always, George Bush."
Ten-year-old Amber Easterbrook says she has three main goals in life: going to heaven, taking a trip to Hawaii and meeting President Bush.
For now, at least, Amber is trying to get the third goal taken care of first.
Amber, of Richland Township, wasn't able to go with her mother, Sherri Easterbrook, to Bush's rally in neighboring Johnstown on Sept. 9. So she gave her mother a note she wrote for Bush, which her mom was able to press into Bush's hand as he greeted supporters.
"Amber wrote that she was a fourth-grader at Johnstown Christian School and that she would pray that Mr. Bush would be re-elected," Easterbrook said.
Sherri Easterbrook didn't expect much in return, because she realized that there was no return address on the letter.
But Bush sent a handwritten letter to Amber in care of her school, which she received last week.
The letter, dated Sept. 12, said:
"Dear Amber: Thanks for your kind letter. I wish we could meet sometime. Please give your family my very best wishes ... Best wishes always, George Bush."
I like the fake letter. The monster under the bed part is very funny.
Isn't the girl in the picture awfully small for a ten year old?
The girl in the picture is 3 years old and not the girl who got a letter from President Bush. Why the poster put her pic up is a question.
She's more like five.
Actually, I figured that out. I was just amused by the mistake.
No, she's 3. Or so all the press reports said when she was attacked by Kerry's union goons.
That's a ten year old?
No way! 8 yrs old at best. looks more like 6 to me.
You should ask to have this thread removed, or have the pic and the goofy letter deleted.
If you don't, I'm asking for that to be done now.
It's because I don't have children. Three looks about right. Poor thing - those dirty RATS!
That little girl also got a letter from Bush. But you are right. Made that mistake in between O'Reilly commercial break.
Wrong picture - that's Sophia Parlock!
Actually, she is three and she is Sophia Parlock of Huntington, WV.
Who is Amber?
I'm cornfused! This dem joke included the line that the monster under her bed was John Kerry? I find that pretty funny!
I want to meet President Bush, too, and I'd love his "ottograff" on anything, even "My Pet Goat"!
Yeah, I screwed up. But you get the point.
Hey Dan Rather called, he needs someone who thinks forgery is funny
Maybe we can get this on 60 Minutes!
I don't have any idea what this is all about, but I don't like the parody letters. I thought DU was where they made fun of President Bush, not FR.
Inserting the pic and these juvenile letters is....juvenile.
