Bush Visits Canada

US President Bush will be visiting Ottawa, Canada on November 30.

I have been *welcoming US presidents to my city since John Kennedy's visit. I need suggestions from Mudcatters for a short greeting; it should be short enough to place on a sign which I would carry.

One word, or several--but not a paragraph! As a recovered heart patient, I can't carry a big sign!
So, get busy, help me out here. Your suggestion can be pro- or anti- or neutral, funny or serious. Right or Left Wing...or center.


Winner will get a CD by Gospel Grass, a bluegrass band I was part of, in the nineties. (Gotta get rid of them somehow)

Well it can't be subtle, and it can't be big or long words, because he won't understand them.

I say keep it short and simple.

"GO AWAY!"

But that's just my first idea...can we have a couple?

"If you take the Bible literally, why aren't you a burning Bush?"

Not really a greeting but I'd love to say it to him. And then take half an hour to explain it to him speaking very slowly, using hand gestures and words of one syllable.

A Canadian MP was just kicked-out of the Liberal Party by Martin because she was considered to be rude. First she said bad things about Bush and crushed a Bush doll with her foot. That was O.K. but then she decided to bad-mouth Martin, too. Oops - now she is an independent.

Also heard today, that Canadian children think the U.S. is evil.

Should be able to work some of this material into a sign.

the sign should say "This is CAN-a-da"...or you might get 'can-AH-dah'....but for your sake, don't let him near 'Saskatchewan.'

Why a sign? Any of the suggestions here would just go right over his poor befuddled head. I think the best approach might be synchronised mooning...picture it; a sea of bare, upturned Canadian arses. Beautiful...and somehow poetic...

I don't see any benefit in being outright rude. Maybe you don't respect the man, but certainly the office deserves the respect you would give to any visiting dignitary from a old friend of a country like the U.S.

OTOH, I like brucie's suggestion... maybe a welcoming meal of Canadian choice beef, served on some sort of softwood platter with a side of P.E.I. spuds. And serve it cold, telling him it was piping hot a couple of years ago when he was supposed to visit us last time.

Cluin...Good point, but rude might work when nothing else influences the man. Besides, it's nothing like as rude, devisive, arrogant, violent, or autocratic as he.

Maybe Shrub should be strip-searched and fingerprinted at the border. Or maybe not, that would give Paul Martin to good a chance to kiss his ass.

Peace, seriously, Mooh.
