Another Candidate for Club Gitmo!

If I had a job to offer, I would soooooo hire this person...my new hero.

Here is what I don't get, though. With all the shit going on, with the "War in Iraq," the "War on Terror," and everything else that goes along with running a country (albeit into the ground), someone from Congress took the time to call and complain.

I think that speaks volumes. Kids on the bus or not. Calling a school district over getting flipped off? That's the most you have to worry about you unctuous phuck?

And to the school administrator who said, “That’s not the role modeling we need for our students.” All I have to say is: WRONG!!! Those are the role models we need! Those people, who flip off a morally bankrupt, intellectually inept President serve a much greater service to society than the kool-aid drinkers who (still) fail to see the similarities between McNamara and Rumsfeld and fail to see that George W Bush is an utter incompetent.

A grievance with Bush leads to another one
School bus driver fired after flipping off president wants job back

SEATTLE - A school bus driver fired after she reportedly made an obscene gesture at President Bush has filed a union grievance in an attempt to get her job back.

The 43-year-old driver, whose name was not released, was driving middle school children back to school after a zoo visit on June 16 when the president and Republican Rep. Dave Reichert drove slowly by in a motorcade.

From the bus, the children waved; with the windows down in their car, Bush and Reichert waved back.

That’s when the driver gave the president the finger, according to Reichert and Issaquah superintendent Janet Barry.

“The congressman hadn’t seen it, but the president turned to him and said, ‘That one’s not a fan,”’ said Reichert spokeswoman Kimberly Cadena.

Reichert later called Barry to tell her about the incident, but the bus driver had already been fired. District officials learned about the incident after the driver boasted to colleagues about it, Cadena said.

District spokeswoman Sara Niegowski said the driver has filed a wrongful termination grievance through the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. The union did not return calls seeking comment.

Niegowski said the firing was not politically motivated.

“The bus driver was not terminated for making an obscene gesture at the president. The bus driver was terminated for making an obscene gesture in view of the students,” Niegowski said. “That’s not the role modeling we need for our students.”

If the finger fits, wear it. The Pres has no sense of humour. If I was the bus driver I would of said,"sometimes kids if you feel that you have been wronged by your government this the answer sometimes. Put your middle finger up and tell them the true without speaking a word. That way they will get the message."

I admire that busdriver and hope the parents spoke openly and honestly with their children.

All the other adults in this scenario behaved more childishly than those kiddies on the bus.

That's why some of the "other adults" ride the short bus now.
