Bush visits Dallas elementary school: "Hey, kids, do you know who I am?"

http://dallasisdblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2009/02/bush-pops-into-pershing-es-thi.html?loc=interstitialskip



DMN Sports columnist Kevin Sherrington was there:

The Bushes were scheduled to visit three classes, but they ended up popping in on any room with an audience. Ducking in one room, Bush asked, "Hey kids, do you know who I am?" Gasps all around, and then someone blurted, "George Washington!" "That's right!" the visitor said. "George Washington Bush!" Well, the middle initial was the same, anyway. A little later, at an ESL class, Bush tried introducing himself in Spanish. Only it was a little too West Texas for the Spanish speakers. He tried again. Blank looks. Even held up three fingers. You know, a 'W." Still nothing. Finally, Pershing's innovative, energetic principal, Margie Hernandez, stepped in with a Spanish introduction. Ohhhhhhh. The kids laughed at the confusion. The former president laughed. The principal laughed, out of relief, mostly.

1. Surprised none of the kids answered with 'Has-been' or "Lying POS'.

2. It must be tough for him being out of the limelight and his only recourse is visiting little kids
who don't really have any idea of who he really is and thus no reason to hate his guts.

7. Why do they even pretend.
Laura would rater retire to a hotel room somewhere and smoke herself into a coma, and the Chimp would rather be getting drunk and torturing animals.

Why go through the motions?

him for what he is---a war-mongering fool.

21. And we couldn't understand his drunken English. Wish he'd just go away - isn't he supposed to be
suicidal and on deathwatch or something?

26. It's a print-rich, ethics-deficient classroom, for sure.
For the love of god, can someone get him to put his knees together just a little?
