Dubiya votes for Obama




Sorry you got PUNKED
===============


Former U.S. president George W. Bush accidentally voted for Barack Obama today at a polling place near his Crawford, TX home.

According to local reports, the two-term Republican was confused by the instructions on his electronic voting machine and mistakenly cast a ballot he intended to discard.

Witnesses say Bush argued with poll workers for several minutes afterwards in a effort to redo his vote, but in accordance with state law they ultimately denied his request.

The embarrassing incident may have gone unnoticed if it weren't for a local newspaper reporter who happened to be voting in the next booth. Suzanna Everett, a politics correspondent for the Waco Times witnessed the entire ordeal and crafted a cunning scheme to make it public.

8. It's a state-of-the-art home in the middle of nowhere.

Beautiful home. Nice acreage. But the home is way too nice and expensive for that area. I said the day he left Austin in 2000 that he'd leave Crawford the moment he was out of office. Dallas is more his speed. The set piece in Crawford only worked for seclusion and photo ops. Since he left and took his entourage and official visitors (and their entourages) with him, Waco's economy has gone into a steep slide. Nobody there is going to be able to buy it.
