No right turns for Bush-bashing bus

Bush_bus_2I didn't see any Bush supporters outside the Bush Legacy Bus this afternoon but if any were nearby, I'm sure they went inside.

The bus' air conditioning was on full blast and it was flirting with 100 degrees in the parking lot of the local Communication Workers of America. A break from this kind of heat defies ideology.

About three dozen people took a tour of the Bush Legacy Bus, a museum on wheels devoted to bashing President Bush's policies.

The inside was stuffed with exhibits devoted to different issues including the economy, the Iraq War and the environment. The floor was covered in a timeline of Bush's presidency.

The bus just came from Crawford and was headed next to Odessa, according to Julie Blust with Americans United for Change. It will continue to crisscross the country before ending its tour in Dallas in October.

Oddly, Blust declared that the bus and her group were "nonpartisan." She said this right after handing me a 10-page press packet almost entirely devoted to criticizing Texas Senators Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn, both Republicans.

"We don't support candidates," she told me.

Sounds like we need one of these buses touring EVERY state so that more people can find out the real legacy of the worst President in US history!

The fact is as long as the world has extremist we will have terrorism - no matter who the President is. One person mention the Anthrax letters but remebmer the Oklahoma City bombing, the uni-bomber and the list goes on and on..
