Washington Bus Driver Fired for Giving President the Bird Wednesday, November 01, 2006 ISSAQUAH, Wash. — A school bus driver who was fired for "flipping off" President George W. Bush is trying to get her job back. The 43-year-old has filed a union grievance against the district, claiming wrongful termination. U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert said the obscene gesture occurred as he was traveling in the president's limo in June on the way to a fundraiser in Medina. At a freeway ramp the limo passed several Issaquah school buses. The students waved to the president and Bush waved back. Bush was having a good time until he saw the driver, Reichert said. Bush turned to Reichert and said the driver had flipped him off. Reichert later called the school district and the driver was fired in September. A spokeswoman, Sara Niegowski, said the gesture was "not at all appropriate modeling for students on the bus."

The Chimperor seems to be mighty sensitive about people exhibiting their true feelings about him.
Katrina was America's Chernobyl.
What about firing Bush for flipping us the bird? "The desire to rule is the mother of heresies." -- St. John Chrysostom
My thoughts exactly. Just like the cops harrassing the doctor who told Cheney to fuck himself. Cheney used the exact same words on the floor of congress.
the law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal bread.
Bush can't deal with reality very well.
I think the driver should get a medal of some sort and then sent for retraining because he should have mooned Bush.
That f$^cker has given us the bird everyday for the past six years.. He needs to suck it up and deal with it already. Somebody gave him the bird, boo, hoo...
I had other things in mind, but that will have to do..
Good heavens...Don't tell me. Might turn my young ears red.
