Tough! She was not on her own time there.

[txroadhawg]

Showed poor judgment and lack of respect in front of school children, fire the b**ch!

[P-40]

the bus driver made an obscene gesture

This is not acceptable conduct for a school bus driver...

[Suzy Quzy]

She did an OBSCENE jesture in front of the CHILDREN!!!! THAT"S why she should be fired!!!

[wideawake]

Seems pretty clearcut.

She made an obscene gesture in front of children for whom she is supposed to be responsible.

Hey, Ms. Issaquah Bus Driver: Up YOURS!

[rhombus]

Another case of Bush Derrangement Syndrome (BDS)...someone driven by so much hatred of the Bush that they lose control and act like a fool.

[Fishtalk]

So okay, first problem here, the article alleges that the incident was reported by OTHER school employees.

Then we get a comment that President Bush was the only one who saw the gesture.

Make up my mind.

Also, go with me here, I would certainly be outraged if the driver of my child's school bus did such a thing, even to Clinton-who I despise.

This is hardly the stuff we want bus drivers doing. I'd also daresay that when Bush told Reichart about the incident that he was just as shocked. Bush has had far worse than a bird flipped at him these past six plus years. I don't believe he was angry at such a small thing.

Yet the vaunted Public School Employees' Union or whatever union thug group represents these people wants to get this guy REHIRED?

Goes to show their morals.

It is November - why is this even an issue this many months later?

The obvious answer is that we've really screwed up public employment. There's no way around it. If a bus driver flips the bird to other drivers on the road, they shouldn't be driving a bus with children. They should have been fired, and they should have a job in the private sector by now, probably cleaning toilets.

Instead, we have someone fighting to keep their job?

Public employees should never feel secure in their job. Especially politicians, but same with the rest of them. They should serve at our sufferance, not the other way around.

[Logical me]

Seattle? That's the answer.

[mkjessup]

So why is the Seattle media protecting this beeotch by concealing her name?

I would think that someone like her would be proud of making such a political statement with her middle digit.

On the other hand, maybe she didn't study hard enough at John F. Kerry High School and ended up stuck driving a school bus.

Yeah, that's it.

[The SISU kid]

WA State Ping???

[Atlas Sneezed]

Someone tell that moron driver that is has nothing to do with WHO she flipped off.

[BADROTOFINGER]

WA State Ping...JFK

[exnavy]

Fired, she should have been keel-hauled.

[rockrr]

KING-TV in Seattle just reported that she's been hired by the neighboring school district in Renton.

I've already expressed my concerns: Superintendent -
Dr. Mary Alice Heuschel (MaryAlice.Heuschel@renton.wednet.edu)

"An Issaquah school bus driver fired for allegedly "flipping off" President Bush during a visit to Seattle in June is appealing her termination"


Conduct unbecoming, get bent.
