"President Bush is heading to Arizona ...the White House said Friday...Few details of the visit, planned for the week of Aug. 28 have been finalized, including where in the state Bush will appear." --www.azcentral.com
Could I get a commitment from someone on this web blog to protest Bush with "Chicken George"?
Chicken George was the name for a man in a chicken costume who shadowed George Bush Sr. through a portion of the 1992 U.S. presidential election. The media really picked up on the idea, which
caused George Sr. considerable embarassment.
Bush first began being called chicken by Democrats when he refused to
agree to the debate format determined by the Commission on Presidential Debates.
After President George W. Bush Jr. refused to speak with Cindy
Sheehan, the new Chicken George appeared for the first time in Salt
Lake City, Utah, Monday with a placard saying:
"George: scared to meet Cyndy?"
CNN, Fox news, Deseret News and Salt Lake Tribune all mentioned "Chicken George" in their reporting.
Yesterday, Tuesday, August 23rd, "chicken george" again appeared at the protest in Boise.
We were hoping that on Monday August 29th, chicken george will appear
in Phoenix, Az to greet the President once again.
ANY VOLUNTEERS TO RENT A CHICKEN COSTUME?
