MLK or GWB? Commander Cokespoon tells Tulare charity event audience he is "Free At Last"





TULARE, Calif. - Nearly 3,000 people, some paying thousands of dollars a ticket, came to hear former President George W. Bush speak at a charity event Wednesday night during the World Ag Expo.

Bush was the keynote speaker at the Ag Warriors Gala, an event to benefit a newly formed program training military veterans for careers in agriculture.

The event in Tulare, in central California, was nearly a sellout with ticket prices ranging from $50 to upwards of $25,000 for a table of 10. The priciest tickets included a complete dinner, a meet-and-greet with Bush and an autographed copy of his book "Decision Points."

Bush spoke about his transition from public life to a private life, calling it liberating. His wife, Laura, asked him soon after leaving Washington, D.C., how he was feeling and he said: "Free at last."

This war criminal should be "in prison at last". But we do not live in a fair world. You can rob people of billions, torture and murder innocent human beings and read children's books while people are incinerated because you twisted intelligence and still live like a king.

Gee, it must be good to be more equal than everybody else.
