Washington Whispers: Bush poster child (President to contact 3-year-old Sophia Parlock!)

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."

Prayer is necessary but faith is the only currency heaven recognizes.

Suggest that we stop looking at the antics of the opposition and decide instead that the One in whom we have placed our confidence is able to accomplish whatever He has said.

What's required is unswerving and utter acknowleged dependence/reliance/trust.

Actually, GW was correct, although he could have said "Barney and me", because to use the singular, as in "Best wishes from me", would be proper, not "best wishes from I"

The company probably gave him a raise for intimidating others from supporting President Bush at a Kerry rally.

Yet another reason I love our President. I bet she'll treasure that poster for years.

I know he was correct. It was the DU dummy that said he was wrong.

Local radio talk shows are pushing the idea that it is the HAARP project that is creating these hurricanes - that there are unreported earthquakes BELOW the eyes of the hurricanes that proves they are made by the current administrations military-industrial complex to drive the pure innocent elders adn minorities from the liberal stronghold in florida.

Did anyone notice that in the Wash. Times photo that the offending union thug's photo had been 'edited' out? Kind of strange, considering the W.T. is a semi-fair rag.

They think they have the Father exposed as a fraud and are right now besides themselves with glee, hoping that this is their "Rathergate".

Can you elaborate a bit on that? I ain't sticking a single tootsie in that nasty place.

"Ahem, it's Barney and I"

Actually, that paragon of DU grammarians got it wrong as well. It should be "Barney and me".

Unless you're the President and you're talking to a little girl who's been traumatized by union thugs. Then you can say it any way you want.

No foot in mouth that I can see. I should've noted it was sarcasm and failed to. I'm a victim of my own laziness.
