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."

They'll twist it into a PR move or a pre-planned event. The worse things get for Kerry, the more psychotic their thoughts and actions.

Pray for President Bush!

So has the rough and tough union thug bastard been ID'd yet?

Not yet so far as I know, but I'm sure the LATimes has an investigative journalist en route to WV w/ the mission to sniff out the liberal activist who tore up little Sophia's sign and reveal his identity to the world. /s

The union issued a statement that they have dealt with the union worker who tore the sign from the little girl's hands.

I/m sure the MSM et. al. will be contacting child welfare in W.Va. to demand the girl be removed from the home. How could a parent allow his child to incite fear and anger in poor democrat supporters. Causing this fear is a hate crime and I'm sure the father will be prosecuted and the girl placed in a proper Democrat foster home.

I keep hoping to hear some very large Republican recognizes him from his picture and introduces him to a jumbo-sized can of "Whoop-Ass".

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

It'll be a day or two before they come down to earth. Such is life in the DU echo chamber

They took him to the basement and gave him the rubber hose treatment?
