Bush feewinghurt case goes to court

The Decider's been out of office nearly a year, and we're still cleaning up the piles he left.

Back in 2005, 2 people were booted from a Bush appearance at a taxpayer-funded event in Denver because they had a "NO BLOOD FOR OIL" bumper sticker on their car. They were ejected because Bush might get his pwecious widdle feewings hurt if he had to see people who disagreed with him.

Unbelievably, when the ejected pair sued, a judge dismissed their case. But now it's going to a federal appeals court.

Not only did the taxpayers have to pay for a Bush event in which dissidents were excluded, but now the court has to spend time on a case that never would have arisen if Bush wasn't such a fascist.

Contrast Bush events versus the recent health care town halls, in which right-wing disruptors were allowed to show up by the dozens.

Ironically, attorneys for the Bush crew are defending their case by dredging up a long-forgotten act of Republican suppression from years earlier. Back in the '92 campaign, a woman wearing a Bill Clinton button was ejected from a public campaign event featuring the elder Bush. If the Republican legal eagles don't want to remind people what a bunch of fascist thugs the GOP is, maybe they should've kept their yips shut.
