So...The Buses Are Meeting Bush At The Airports For The Bus Tour, Right?

Jeeze.

Bush's bus tour, which covered more than 225 miles in Michigan on Monday, took a few shortcuts on Tuesday. He flew to Toledo from Michigan and on to Dayton before resuming his spot at the head of an eight-bus caravan.
The story also shows he's spreadin' the lie - about how unemployment numbers are down (when in fact, thousands of out-of-work folks have just given up or their unemployment bennies dried up)...

He promised a "positive, optimistic vision" for tackling problems, and said his tax cuts were already beginning to regenerate the economy and help Ohio reclaim the 225,000 jobs lost in the state during his presidency.

He said Ohio had gained 7,900 jobs in March, part of a nationwide increase of more than 300,000, and the state unemployment rate had dropped from 6.3 percent to 5.7 percent.
And, in his now-famous comic timing, launched this cuteness at Kerry:

Bush ridiculed the Massachusetts senator for claiming foreign leaders supported him but refusing to name them.

He noted Kerry had said he might have met some of those foreign leaders in a New York City restaurant.

"I've got a hunch this whole thing might be a case of mistaken identity," Bush said, noting that not everyone in a fancy New York restaurant with an accent was a foreign leader.
Man, he's just have a grand old time villifying New York - as if they haven't had their hearts broken and their morale jerked around enough by his reign of stupidity.

Jackass. Complete and utter jackass.
