Rockport fishmongers net crab intended for President Bush
ROCKPORT (Dec 31, 2004): A shipping error has given Mainers the opportunity to eat food fit -- if not for a king -- for the president of the United States.
Two cases of frozen Dungeness crabmeat bound for Maryland, and ultimately a gala dinner to be attended by President George W. Bush Sunday night in Washington, D.C., have landed instead at a Rockport fishmonger's store. (snip)

"We're selling it in the store now and all the money will be given to Doctors Without Borders for their tsunami relief fund,"

6. LOL...I love it.
It pisses me off that our stupid pResident dines on shit like that everyday while people die in Asia. I don't believe in karma, but the scales are slightly more balanced today due to these people. I hope they don't get into any trouble over this. Considering the meat was perishable, I don't think they should.
