Girl Runs From Bush, Chipmunk

@ 10:42 am by Andy Barr

A little girl ran away from President Bush and someone dressed as a chipmunk Thursday during a White House tee-ball game.

The girl was walking up to greet Bush after having her name announced as part of the starting lineup, when either Bush or the chipmunk apparently spooked her. She then ran across the field out through a gate.

The girl appeared to be crying before walking up to meet Bush.

  2. She didn't run from Bush! Watch the video, it was from the Chipmunk. She shook Bush's hand and then looked at the Chipmunk and skedaddled! What a sorry excuse for a news network is pMSNBC!

  3. Another insult of The President by The Libs. What else is new.

    I personally admire the way he keeps a stiff upper lip while the Liberal Media continually takes potshots.

    He has restored integrity to the White House, been a man of his word on Pro-Life matters, engaged in no affairs, trysts or perjury. And, he answered the bell like a true American leader against Muslim Extremists.

    History will regard him justly, even if the Media can't bear to admit it.

  4. Little children can see the real evil in a person. No one had to tell HER that this creep has slaughtered over 4,100 American boys.

  5. Why do so many rightie posters insist there is a "liberal media"? The mainstream media have promoted and publicised right-wing talking points for the first 7 years of the Bush administration. Even MSNBC, which righties love to hate, has only TWO lefties (Olbermann and Abrams). The rest are identifiably conservative or centrist. And over 95% of all radio talk shows are hosted by conservatives. Yet you folks insist there is a liberal media. Huh???

    Vice President Cheney so intimidated the mainstream press with his outrageous assertion that anyone who dissented against administration policy was a traitor that for years, the majority of the media barely peeped no matter how many lies this president and vice president told. Yet the true-believers keep repeating that there is a "liberal media". Sorry guys and gals, but the media are CORPORATE and for far too long, they have been unwilling to challenge the administration. On the rare occasions when some columnist does challenge Messieurs Bush and Cheney, you righties get furious and haul out the same tired claim of a "liberal media." Computer says "Naaah."

  6. She's a very smart little girl, she did "not" want to be associated with the "Evil" War Criminal, Dubya Gump, so she ran away. DUH!!!

  7. I think it's like that little boy in The Sixth Sense - the Bruce Willis movie where the little boy has supernatural powers and can speak to the dead. In this case she is able to sense evil in a person's eyes. Think about it - maybe Bush is the anti-Christ and the Armageddon is on its way! Darn – we’re on the wrong side. I can’t think of a better candidate for the anti-Christ, and I am only partially kidding.
