"Editorial writers were quick to seize on the notion that President Bush's "amazement" demonstrated he had never seen a supermarket scanner before and criticized him for being out of touch with the daily concerns of ordinary Americans."
"Then the details of the story started to dribble out. Andrew Rosenthal of The New York Times hadn't even been present at the grocers' convention. He based his article on a two-paragraph report filed by the lone pool newspaperman allowed to cover the event, Gregg McDonald of the Houston Chronicle, who merely wrote that Bush had a "look of wonder" on his face and didn't find the event significant enough to mention in his own story. Moreover, Bush had good reason to express wonder: He wasn't being shown then-standard scanner technology, but a new type of scanner that could weigh groceries and read mangled and torn bar codes.
Dude, can you imagine a President that doesn't even know the Frostie favors at Wendy's? What a looser man.
>"They're trying to take this campaign for the highest office >in the land down the lowest possible road," Edwards >continued. "You can reject this tired old hateful negative >politics of the past and instead embrace the politics of >hope."
WTH??? Ok, so Bush isn't supposed to say anything negative about his opponet, but they can say whatever they want? Keep saying it John, it's going to get old quick. People are stupid, but even after a while, they will see through the tricks of not actually countering what Bush is saying, but throwing that "hateful politics" crap. He was chastising his RECORD. Nothing hateful in pointing out that your opponet is a loser.
Heeeyyyy, wait a minute. Why didn't this unbiased journalist point out that the marines in the Wendy's were upset at Kerry for imposing on them and that they were voting for Bush?
>Hey Afflect --- you are being used!
Given Affleck's current movie bombs, I think it is the other way around.

It was this and Clinton's "bout a dollar" deal on MTV that got me to vote for Clinton in 1992. Struggling to pay the bills, Roseanne was on TV and I thought it couldn't just be me... I just hope there aren't as many ignorant 20 year olds out there this year.
Who all are on 10 buses?
Well, I guess Aflac was one, you know, the duck?
I think he's more deserving of a "chocolate swirly" myself.
I felt as if I had entered the bizarro world while reading this. Wendy's for a multionmillionaire's wedding anniversary, a potential first lady not knowing what chili is, and the most strange thing of all: Ben Affleck tagging along with their caravan. What the h*ll????
Pres. Bush was talking about their Senate record.
Person A goes hunting every year for 18 years and bags a few deer for his freezer.
Person B says, "Person A likes to eat deer meat."
Person A says, "Why are you attacking me like that?!!"
amazing. . .
Seeing this pic I am stuck by two things,
One: I know it is a photo op and all, but if it is their anniversary, shouldn't the Edwards' be sitting across from each other, not next to?
Two: Look at the people in the background, it looks like the guy right next to them had to turn his chair sideways in order not to be seen in the pic... it's amazing what you find when you study these pics
>I felt as if I had entered the bizarro world while reading >this.
LOL!! I know what you mean. I kept waiting on another doozy, like aliens landed in the parking lot with a "We hate Dubya" sign hanging from thier ship.
Jeez, I mean Ben Affleck?!? At the Wendy's? And how long as that woman been in this country that she doesn't know what Chili is?
When I get to $1 billion I will have a Burger King next to the tennis court and a Wendy's in the middle of the circular driveway. Staff and guests will have to buy their own lunch. Any hoboes that get past the gate will be able to get yesterday's fries at the kitchen entrance for free. I will let Teresa work the drive-up window, which should be a kick.
She'll probably have the trots tonight.
Better not order coffee and spill the java. Edwards will sue.
