The fired bus driver filed a union grievance

Union grievance = T.P.

[Anselma]

Was that bus driver a Sunni or a Shia? Just kidding. But with incivility like that, we're not far from becoming like Baghdad. String her up, I say (sarcasm).

The good news is that she's now eligible for a job as "the fourth Dixie Chick".

Two statements contradict themselves. One said the President is the only one who saw it. Another said that when the congressman called to complain about it, they already knew about it. Which is it?

[SierraWasp]

Hey king of the Issaquah! Have you seen this???

[CaptRon]

No doubt one of Kerry's 'smart' associates.

While I think the bus driver's one-finger salute was disgusting and disrespectful, she should not have been fired over it.

As a few other posters have said, I might've been tempted to do the same had I seen BJC under the same circumstances.

"This was part of a pattern of behavior with this particular bus driver, not an isolated incident."

A very telling statement. Sounds like this person is trying to milk the liberal hatred of Bush to try to save her sorry a$$.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Oops. You beat me to it. In the story I posted, it says she was fired for shooting "the finger" in front of school children. Now, that makes sense.

[Vicomte13]

Just give her her job back and forget about it.

[dashing doofus]

This story is an anti-Bush hit job by that stupid newspaper, designed to make Bush look thin skinned. The story smells funny...

"You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck trying to get your bus driving job back after giving the President the finger."

In case anyone's wondering, it's pronounced ISS ah kwah.
