Any new word on the Bush "Our Leader" billboards in Orlando?
I know Blue Lemur tried to contact the Clear Channel outdoors person that was in charge of putting the sign up, but that person was "out of the office" just before Thanksgiving.

Wondered if there were any further developments on that?

4. David Corn's assistant saw them over the weekend
"Our Leader" George W. Bush?
Just received this note from my assistant Andrew Ackerman about an almost-surprising tribute to Geroge W. Bush, supreme commander. At first, I found it hard to believe Andrew's report, but there is a photo (make sure you click on the link). And though the website featuring this photo is rather out there, Andrew says he saw it with his own eyes.

David:
Hey there. I'm going to try to get into a 10 am Supreme Court argument, unless you need me in the office this morning. Other than that, I want to tell you about these creepy signs along the highway in Orlando that I saw over the weekend on Interstate 4. That's the main drag running through Orlando. The signs feature a large headshot of a smiling Dubya next to gigantic large words: "Our Leader." There's a photo of one of the billboards--with an awkward story by a group I've not heard of-- here. Anyway, it looks like the ads say ClearChannel Outdoor paid for them as a public service. ClearChannel Outdoor is part of the media empire that owns all those radio stations. Its website says it has half a million billboards and signs across the country. I don't like obsequious, petty references to Orwell when describing the Bush administration or the weird things people do in Red states, but this is a stunning example of something right out of 1984. Or pre-2003 Iraq.
--Andrew

Or present-day North Korea....Check it out yourself and let me know if you spot any of these "Our Leader" billboards elsewhere.

6. I'm STILL waiting for some brave patriotic soul to blacken out one of
bush*'s front teeth. Alfred E. Newman is the result.

7. They should have made him wear a
Chairman Mao uniform when they made the billboard.
