A 43 year old school bus driver was fired after an investigation concluded that the bus driver gave President Bush the finger as Bush's motorcade was passing by the school bus.
This is another case of someone being lucky that they choose to do something to piss off this administration BEFORE Bush signed the Military Commissions Act, which would have allowed him to torture this bus driver for the rest of his life for flicking him off.
The complaint came from Congressman Dave Reichert, who was traveling with Bush in June to a Medina fundraiser. The motorcade passed several school buses on a freeway ramp and students waved at the president, who waved back. Bush was enjoying himself until the bus driver's finger gesture caught his eye, according to the King County Journal.
I think "detaining" and torturing this bastard would have sent a great message to the kids. Disagree with your President and you will be tortured! That would send a clear message.
When you think about it, these kids will probably be serving in Iraq 10 years from now, so they really do need to have it ingrained into their head that you cannot dissent from the Commander in Chief. That would just end with them getting a court marshal (followed by torture).
Of course the bus driver's union has filed a grievance. Unions = communism = Nazism = Hitler. So next time you see a union member give them the old "Sieg Heil" arm gesture: they will get what you mean, epically if they are Jewish, but I don't think there is a lawyers or accountants union, so maybe that isn't a problem.
If you keep Republicans in power, I promise that we can help to rid the country of Unions and return to the good old days of the 1930s!
