Capitol Hill Blue

The great George W. Bush billboard mystery

By
Feb 10 2010


When word first circulated around the Internet of a billboard showing a smiling George W. Bush emblazoned with the message “Miss me yet?” some thought it was another viral e-mail hoax.

But it wasn’t.

The billboard along Interstate 35 near Wyoming, Minnesota is real.

So who bought it?

And why?

Mary McNamara, general manager of Schubert & Hoey Outdoor Advertising in Minneapolis, says the billboard was purchased by a group of small business owners who wish to remain anonymous.

Some of the business owners, McNamara says, are small business owners who support President Barack Obama who want to convey a message of change.

Democrats aren’t buying that story.

Cindy Erickson, chairman of the Democratic Party of Chisago County, Minnesota — location of the billboard — feels the ad’s buyers are actually conservative activists claiming to be Obamacons.

“My thought was that they’re Tea Party people,” she said.

    What? Wyoming? You mean, the state that drags suspected gays from the back of Ford F-150s until they’re pavement-putty? I’m not gay, but don’t talk about the Gospel According to Good Christians in Wyoming until you truly understand the meaning of FILTH.

    Miss Bush? Like missing a dose of the “clap”.

    Admin, please delete this message as it replaces an accidental double-post.

    The world is full of stupid people. Some just feel the need to advertise themselves, even if they don’t have the courage of their convictions to own it.
