Bush Fell Flat On His Face Today!

[Joe Fields]

My son just came home from school, and I told him about the protest of Bush's appearance at a high school in Lees Summit, and my participation in it. A.J goes to another a different H.S. in Lees Summit, but his Spanish teacher turned on the television and wanted to "treat" the students to Bush's speech as it was carried live. My son raised an objection, and the teacher said he didn't have to watch it. Yet, he wasn't allowed to leave the room. (I'm going to have a talk with the principal tomorrow.)

So my son watched the speech. What was funny was that he told me that many of the kid in class, including himself were making cracks about Bush. According to him no one had anything nice to say about Bush.

But the real kicker is that my son told me that directly after Bush was finished speaking, as he started to walk off of the stage, he tripped over something and fell flat on his face. My son said that the whole class burst into laughter. He also said that when Bush got back up his face was all red and looked scratched up.

Priceless.

I missed all of this because I was at the protest across from the high school he was speaking at. I would definitely like to see his fall get some play on TV somewhere.
