Minister: Bush must be 'shot down'
I hope this is not a dupe, if yes I am sorry,

BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) -- A conservative German minister in a southern state has caused uproar by saying U.S. President George W. Bush should be "shot down" for his handling of the crisis in hurricane-struck New Orleans.

Andreas Renner, Social Minister in Germany's southern state of Baden-Wuertemberg, clarified later that he had only meant Bush should be downed politically.

During a visit to a local company on Tuesday, Renner said of Bush: "He ought to be shot down."

He later retracted the remark, saying he meant Bush should be shot down "in a political sense", according to the Reutlinger General-Anzeiger newspaper.

1. As long as Pat Robertson gets a freep pass, the right can shut up.
What's good for Chavez out to be good for bush, freepers.

4. I don't really think he caused an "uproar"
I immediately got what he meant by that, plus I don't think Germans would have been offended by someone suggesting Bush be removed from office. They'd be cheering!
