Woman drives into Bush speech

[Jobber of the Week 0]

SOUTHAVEN, Mississippi (CNN) -- A car rammed past a security perimeter Saturday and into a facility where President Bush had delivered a speech to campaign supporters just minutes earlier.

 

Secret Service Spokeswoman Ann Lomax said the president was "never in any danger." White House Spokesman Trent Duffy said Bush had just got into his limousine.

 

Bush had completed a speech to campaign supporters inside the DeSoto Civic Center at the time of the crash, according to Lomax.

 

Witnesses said a woman and three children were in the car, a 4-door Toyota Camry with at least one flat tire. She drove down a street at high speed pursued by police and sheriff's deputies, they said.

 

The car passed the presidential motorcade, took a sharp left, jumped a curb, and barreled across the grass outside the center before hitting the building near one of its entrances, witnesses said.

 

Bush had just got into his limousine at the time of the crash, according to White House spokesman Trent Duffy.

 

The president "was never in any danger," Lomax said. The car blew out some tires when it jumped the curb, according to Lomax.

 

The car hit the building near its upper loading dock area, Lomax said. The president's motorcade was in the lower loading deck area, she said.

 

Authorities surrounded the car, and no shots were fired, Lomax said.

 

The woman was arrested immediately after the incident, which took place about 10:30 a.m. (11:30 a.m. EST). The Secret Service is leading an investigation into the crash, according to Lomax.

 

Video from the scene showed four officials moving the woman, with her arms behind her back, into a white unmarked car.

 

Chief David Mitchell, spokesman for the Desoto County Sheriff's Department, would not say why the woman was being pursued. He said the children in the vehicle are with family members and "being well taken care of."

 

Local and federal officials are conducting a joint investigation, Mitchell said. It will remain a joint investigation until any charges are filed, he said.

 

Bush left the center shortly after the crash and headed to his next campaign stop in Paducah, Kentucky.

So I guess the absolute worst driver in the entire world would talk like this:

 

"Yee-haw! Let's burn rubber an' git our backsides on over ta Big Jim's sushi bar! It's ladies' night an' boy, do Ah loves me some wasabi! Say... y'all wouldn't be starin' at my tits now, would ya?"

Amazingly enough, I knew one, sorta.

 

She was a Korean from Alabama, and sounded every bit of it. Dunno if I'd say she was white trash, but she towed the line

Crap, I forgot about Mexican illegals.

 

They deserve a shout out...

Hey, aren't those the voters that Howard Dean wants to represent :lol: ?

I hear he's a "metrosexual," whatever the hell that is. Maybe it covers female Asian hillbillies.

Looking the source of the word metro, it pretty much means he wants to do it with his Mom. Or everyone's Mom. Or something.

 

 

How Freudian.

'Metrosexuals' are basically guys that put as much into their appearance as a stereotypical woman might (with the lotions and the $70 haircutts) and place little to no value on stereotypical male activities like changing the oil of their cars. This is what I learn from Sports Talk radio.

The only person-er, character, that comes remotely close to that profile is Amy Wong's mom on the cartoon Futurama.

 

Unless such a person actually exists, that is.

She would have to be viciously racist, too, and really good at math.

"Metrosexual"?? Does that mean he likes to have sex with busses??

I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw this thread's title, then seeing "Last Post by: LaParkaYourCar."

Howard Dean, metrosexual

- Tunku Varadarajan in the WSJ

 

"In dictionaries to come, the following entry - 'petard, hoist with one's own' - should be accompanied by a picture of a disconsolate Howard Dean."

[Jobber of the Week 0]

Bah, I have a better description. Someone was bitching about this in the paper:

 

The word metro has its roots in greek, meaning (literally) uterus. It is also used to represent maternal ideas too though. Assuming the Metro in metrosexual comes from metropolis (mother-city), I assume its used in that sense.

 

So essentially the word means mother-sexuality. Whether this means the sexuality of the mother, or some kind of sexuality involving mothers, I don't know.

 

The second half (sexual) is even worse since the word metrosexual has nothing to do with sexuality apparently, unless you count gross generalisations about the style of gay men.

 

Essentially you are using an innaccurately-manufactured, overly complicated word to discuss something as simple as male vanity (and ancient - narcissus, anyone) as if its some exciting new 'wave' that people *need* to be paid to write about in style magazines.
