A "sign of good luck"

Bush In Line of Fire

May 24, 2007 1:50 PM

ABC's Ann Compton reports: An outdoor news conference in perfect spring weather, with birds chirping loudly in the magnolia trees, is not without its hazards.

As President Bush took a question Thursday in the White House Rose Garden about scandals involving his Attorney General, he remarked, "I've got confidence in Al Gonzales doin' the job."

Simultaneously, a sparrow flew overhead and left a splash on the President's sleeve, which Bush tried several times to wipe off.

Deputy White House Press Secretary Dana Perino promptly put the incident through the proper spin cycle, telling ABC News, "It was his lucky day...everyone knows that's a sign of good luck."

My Unkle Roy taught me this long ago.


Pretty birdie in the sky
You put whitewash in my eye
I don't fret and I don't cry
I'm just proud a cow can't fly

And here i thought it would have been knute to pull up this completely irrelevent story, just to throw any kind of AMBirdE at Bush.  I was wrong.  But Lanya doesn't hate Bush

I'm confused.

I thought only Republicans laughed at the misfortune of others.

Ends (bashing and demeaning Bush in anyway possible) justifies the means (hypocrtically presenting the misforture of Bush, while criticisng when the misforture of a Democrat is supposedly noted)

Perhaps it is an example of LW Christian Love at its finest.

I'm laughing at the spin.  "Everyone knows it's a sign of good luck!"

I can only think of it in a Fast Times at Ridgemont High character's voice.  Or maybe a Cheech and chong movie.

 Dude! Righteous! You got shat on by like, a bird, man! YOU ARE SO LUCKY, DUDE!

If a bird poops on your car, it is good luck.

If bird droppings land on your head it is good luck.
