SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Nov. 3 -- The Gatlin Brothers finished singing, and Larry Gatlin took the microphone to warm up the crowd for his old friend from West Texas. A little red meat never hurt a few days before an election. "I tell ya what," Gatlin told thousands of cheering Republicans, "we're gonna git Osama!"

Instead of Special Forces, though, out onto the stage bounded Louie the Cardinal and Fetch the Dog, presumably to keep the audience entertained for a few more minutes rather than to hunt down the world's most dangerous terrorist. After the Springfield Cardinals mascots finished handing out T-shirts, the loudspeakers blasted out that well-known Republican anthem "We're Not Gonna Take It," by Twisted Sister.

He has shucked the coat and tie for shirtsleeves and slipped a little more drawl into his voice as he hits mainly conservative, rural communities. "It's good to be in a part of the country where the cowboy hats outnumber the ties," Bush told thousands of supporters in Billings, Mont., on Thursday, squeezing in a rally just two days before the MetraPark Arena's scheduled "Spay-Neuter Clinic."

And he seems fired up by flag-waving crowds that greet him as a rock star, with young women screaming for him to come shake hands, even if elitists in Washington have written him off. He would love nothing more than to prove all the prog-naw-sti-ka-tors and phil-ah-suh-phi-zers wrong, and score another against-the-odds victory....

10. Good one!

[tularetom]

3. "We" been gonna "git" him for five frickin years asshole

No matter what yer "old friend from West Texas" says.

I think the thing I hate the most about bush is his fake hick act. Wait'll the asshole leaves the white house and see how fast the cowboy hat goes in the trash can. He won't be caught dead on the fucking pig farm either. That was just a ploy to make him look like St. Ronnie and endear him to the rubes. At least Reagan knew how to ride a goddamn horse.

13. Gatlin has also made a tv appearance

endorsing a puke in a campaign commercial in JOklahoma. Forget which candidate. Obviously his endorsement didn't mean much....

15. Gatlin also was a major cokehead who also had alot of experimental sex when

he was spending alot of time in NY - of course he blamed it on the drugs.

He and Bush have been close for a very longtime, and used to party together.
