A sign from the heavens?

From NBC's Antoine Sanfuentes
There is so much control a president and his handlers can have during a Rose Garden press conference. Today, while President Bush was asked about the Justice Department's controversy, a review of the tape shows a bird pooped on his sleeve. He then quickly wiped it off. The bird dropping was first reported by ABC's Ann Compton.

It's not clear whether the Secret Service apprehended the bird...

I LOVE IT IF ONLY WE ALL COULD CHITS ON HIM!
"A bird in the hand is worth two on a Bush." Too bad it wasn't a pelican.
Oh let the EAGLE SOARRRRRRR
"Pennies From Heaven"-Bing Crosby
give that bird a medal.
If cows could fly.
terriost bird !!! lets invade our fine feathered freinds.. before they invade and chit on us all !! lool
Do you think "the Source" of all the universe is trying to tell us something about President Bush. If so, The Message is clear!
Just goes to show you there is crap all over this president. To bad they missed his face!
Any body got to take a #2? Go to the white house.
I'm surprised DHS didn't have the area sealed and all flight-capable birds within ten miles hauled off to Gitmo. Obviously they're c/o/m/m/i/e/ terraist sympathizers.
THIS IS ALMOST TO FUNNY...I SEE A SKETCH FOR SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE!
You guys are hilarious. This is the funniest thing I've read all day!
ahh THE FRIENDLY SKIES HAVE NEW MEANING FOR ME.
What goes round comes round. .. GOOD LUCK mike buck
Lucky bird - I'd love to dump on the jerk myself.
"If the foo s@*ts, wear it."
There are two possible outcomes for the bird - either it got sent to Guantanamo on being an enemy combatant, or it got shot by Cheney.
"Wait a second...I'm getting that feeling again...GOD'S ABOUT TO SPEAk!"...
Too bad it wasn't a pterodactal. LOL. I guess some birds are smarter than 29% of Americans.
God must have passed an urgent message to Bush through the chit, since Bush ain't listening to Him no more......
Was it a Foo bird? Because when the Foo chits, you wear it.
Guess that's his reward for supporting AlBIRDo Gonzalez... perhaps we now declare war on a new terrorist Bird Laden.
It's a shame the bird didn't get one of those lib reporters. On the bright side it is said to be good luck ... not that I would want any of that good luck on my nice suit :P
Was Byrd wearing a white sheet when he attacked?
We better go after the birds. If we don't fight them in the trees, we will be fighting them in our homes.
Lol, good luck to get pooped on? Sounds ridiculous enough to have come from Sean Hannity. I'm guessing having No. 2 dropped on you is pretty much a universally accepted bad thing across all cultures, but who knows.
You know what makes me laugh, there is a PLEASE READ on here stating that "we only approve comments that are directly related to the blog, use appropriate language and ARE NOT ATTACKING THE COMMENTS OF OTHERS." It amazes me how you can attack the President of our country, because you do have that right and there are people giving their lives for that as we speak, but I can't call you guys, how do you say it, Chitheads. This is not an attack, just a comment. Have a great day and God Bless America!
It's just a sign that Dubya is for the birds....
"Birds"--An Alfred Hitchcock movie
Call Cheney, he'll take care ot that bird.
Has the terror threat level been raised? I'm guessing we're at 'Turquoise' now... Then again, if the birds do attack...what military are we going to use to fight them?
Paul, Sean Hannity would have ran up there and wiped it off himself.
