Jan Schakowsky is telling the Bush/Barack/Osama/Obama story

[buycitgo]

have you heard that one?

she was at the WH

met Bush, and was wearing an Obama button

he looked at her very strangely, thinking she was wearing an OSAMA button, and axed her about it

she told him who he was, and he was the typical dimbulb, saying he didn't know who the guy was'

she just said that HE WILL NOW, and if he's not sitting around eating pretzels !!!!!!!! he should really be aware of him

how STUPID is that imbecile?

there was a link to this story before, maybe from a recent NewYorker

1. from the New Yorker story about Obama

Jan Schakowsky told me about a recent visit she had made to the White House with a congressional delegation. On her way out, she said, President Bush noticed her “obama” button. “He jumped back, almost literally,” she said. “And I knew what he was thinking. So I reassured him it was Obama, with a ‘b.’ And I explained who he was. The President said, ‘Well, I don’t know him.’ So I just said, ‘You will.’”

4. As Randi pointed out, Bush *should* know who is running for Senate seat

He is the leader of his party, and should be aware of the players involved.
