Bush's Move For Photographers Leaves Little Girl Fuming

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- Mixing two presidents and the media with a tabletop game and a brutally honest child was bound to touch off cries of foul over foosball.

It happened Thursday when President Bush and Mexican President Vicente Fox stopped by a community center in Toledo. The wronged one was a little girl in a white sweater, about 8 years old, who didn't care that Bush needed to face the cameras during his turn at the foosball table.

Such scintillating conversation.

If it was Clinton, we would have heard how the crowd gushed over the President.

She wanted him on her team and made her feelings known when, at the behest of photographers, Bush switched sides.

"It's not fair," she told her friend in the pink T-shirt, who was planted firmly between both men on the opposite side. "You have two presidents, and I don't have any."

As Art Linkletter said Kids Say The Darndest Things!"

Cute article. Thanks, A51! ;-)

Sigh. Another day passes with our professional "journalists" looking for real news.

My 12-year-old is mad because we invoked the "no television on school nites" rule this week. Can he get a headline?

Little girls have a way of putting grown men in their places quickly. I hope these children continue to be unimpressed by politicians once they're grown. If they do, there may be hope for us all.

...and a brutally honest child was bound to touch off cries of foul over foosball.

It was tough being a politician in this crowd, mostly under 10 and totally unfazed by the famous men in dark suits who had journeyed far from the White House to see them.

Bush had even less luck with Carlito Avila, 7. Getting scooped up into the arms of the president of the United States gave him an acute case of shyness. Bush put their faces close to talk. Carlito didn't utter a word, and rubbed a fist at one tearful eye as Bush set him down.

"You're a good speller," Bush said as he patted the shoulder of a girl at a computer terminal. She looked up from the screen only long enough to nod and smile, so Bush shifted his attention to a nearby table where kids were engrossed in a project about insects.

So, in summary, the children were either scared, angry, or indifferent. This article was written for no other reason than to bash Bush.

Ding, ding, ding!! We have a winner!

Or what a wretched, unworthy crowd it was.

Clinton would have ordered the little complainer disappeared, or at least audited.

Another Bush hitpiece by Associated Press' Sonya Ross. Interestingly, Sonya is a special correspondent for GFN (Gay Financial Network).

Sounds like an activist media agenda to me. ;-)

FLASH!

mike2right's son is not allowed to watch tv on school night's. "He makes me mad!" exclaimed the son. "He makes me do my homework too!"

Outraged citizens are calling for a Congressional Investigation. The Rev. Jesse Jackson, upon hearing of the crisis, stopped short a meeting with his accountants, financial advisors, and illegitimate children, and has hopped a plane for Virginia to provide the boy with moral comfort and legal advice.

"We are looking into this matter to foind out if the son qualifies for reparations and we will investigate to see if his father has committed any discrimination against children-Americans. If so, he will have to pay a substantial fine to my grown son's organization: Crimes Against Small Honkies or he will face a boycott of his personal life and business.

When journalists asked for a comment from mike2right, all he could say was "I didn't do nothin'!"

Polls taken by Gallup and CNN show that most Americans are shocked and outraged by mike2right's behavior and are calling for his arrest and imprisonment.
