Bush Poster Child
If the picture of little 3-year-old Sophia Parlock crying after some Kerry-Edwards supporters tore up her Bush-Cheney poster got to you, well, you weren't the only one. President Bush and even first pup Barney were dismayed too, we hear. It happened at a West Virginia rally last week for Democratic running mate Sen. John Edwards, to which Phil Parlock brought his daughter. After seeing the picture of the tearful Sophia on her dad's shoulders, aides said the president was sending her a little note Friday along with a signed campaign poster and an autographed photo of the prez and his dog. "Dear Sophia," Bush penned, "Thank you for supporting my campaign. I understand someone tore up your sign. So I am sending you a new sign and a signed picture. Please give my best to your family. Sincerely, George W. Bush." And on the picture, he inked: "To Sophia, Best wishes from me and Barney." Phil Parlock tells us it really wasn't necessary. "He already said 'Thank you' when he hugged her" at a previous Bush rally they attended, he says. "She bragged for days."See the picture:

I understand and wish you well. I publish newspapers, so I tend to miss subtle nuances in pursuit of the literal.

I have never been more tempted to go a trolling at DU. That rat union thug pu**y handed the BC campaign positive PR on a silver platter. MSM won' touch it of course. The DU has got to have the most freakin clueless bunch of fools in the solar system

So Phil's family is regular political "disrupters" as they put it. It's funny how when the woman who disrupted Laura Bush's speech by screaming and acting insane was VICTIMIZED by Bush, but this guy is standing there and gets attacked several times it's somehow HIS fault. Typical.

That site actually claims the union guy and the father's son are the same person. Is that claim something a lawyer could take to court in a civil suit?

The funniest thing I found over there was in the thread about the letter and picture that W sent to Sophia.
He signed it "To Sophia, Best wishes from me and Barney." Immediately one of their best and brightest chimes in with:
"Ahem, it's Barney and I"
Probably a card carrying member of a teacher's union. LOL

He has "sent" his third hurricaneLOL! They are insane! In the 60's Castro blamed the US for the same damn thing, some sort of weather control to destroy Cuba w/ hurricanes. It's true you can't argue w/ a fool but it's fun watching them destroy themselves

How much do you want to bet, that when this little girl grows up she becomes another Ann Coulter or Laura Ingram.
We'll have the liberals to thank.
