Internet chatter had led to speculation that it might be an urban myth -- nothing more than clever digital trickery spreading via the Web.
But our friend Bob Collins at Minnesota Public Radio assures us he's seen it with his own eyes:
There is a billboard along I-35 near Wyoming, Minn., with a huge photo of former president George W. Bush and this question: "Miss Me Yet?"

The problem is that the Republican party is infested with liberals. They did not use to be this way, but they are today.
Bush was no conservative despite what the slugs in the Main stream Media tried to convince us. Compared to Obama (Communist/Socialist) yes, but so is just about anyone.
Of course the Republican party has too many liberals, but we, as Tea Party members and conservative Republicans are shaking things up.
George W. Bush was a strong President who did many conservative things. The fact that he did some things that were not purely conservative is not a reflection on his character, nor whether or not we should respect him, but rather on his own political bent.
I don't judge character on politics, Sprite. There are higher priorities than my own conservative political view.
So I will not abandon Sarah Palin because she endorsed McCain, even though I didn't agree with her, and should some "perfect" conservative become President and make some not-so-conservative decisions (as they ALL do), I will not get on a conservative board and throw mud.
It's not the right thing to do, and I won't do it. You obviously are comfortable with doing that. I'm not.
Hmmm... is there anything in Michelle’s “won’t miss” list you *do* like? If so, what?
Though I disagree with the entirety of the Department of Education and was disappointed that Reagan didn't fulfill his campaign promise and get rid of it, I agree with putting the concept of accountability into education, while disagreeing with spending more money on it. So I guess I *do* like the conservative concept of personal responsibility.
Does that count?
Most of Michelle's list includes hyperbolic, angry verbiage that make that question difficult to answer. It's not that she disagrees with some of the less-than-conservative things she believes that President Bush did (I don't agree at all with several of the things on her list, as they are stated), it's that she states them in such an extreme (and angry) manner with absolutely no reference to any of the solid conservative things he did as a counter weight. And she is clearly angry about this billboard and is using the (rightful) growing popularity of President Bush as a jumping off point to draw attention to herself and spit at him.
As I have said many times on this board, I don't have any problem with a person's saying that President Bush wasn't entirely conservative. I just object to the false accusation that he wasn't conservative at all, and the visceral disgust for an honorable man of integrity that usually goes along with those false words.
I don't think hatred and gross hyperbole are one bit conservative, do you? Or do you.......
I think the Tea Party should jump all over this and start raising money to have this billboard poster put up all over America. I would contribute money to that cause without hesitation.
Yeah. About as much as a cancerous testicle.A-hole handed over the reigns of our Cconstituttional Republic to this commie dunce without remorse, but with extreme joy. . . expecting miracles from the new mantle holder just like the rest of the traitors.
Obama is going to fail. And so is their best laid plans to destroy our Republic.
Miss him? Not really worthy of comment. The quicker he is forgotten the better.
