Bush has reasons to stiff Vt.

August 18, 2008

By KEN HERMAN Cox News Service

BRATTLEBORO — It's not that President Bush is ignoring Vermont, which twice gave him the fewest votes of any state. Heck, on Friday he declared part of it a disaster.

It's just that Bush hasn't been here since taking office, making the Land of Ben and Jerry the only state he has not visited as president.

And now — with a gubernatorial race featuring an incumbent Republican not eager to have his photo taken with Bush (not to mention a voter-approved resolution in Brattleboro calling for Bush's arrest) — smart money says he might not get here before depositing his final government paycheck in January.

Here's the candid assessment, no names please, offered as "the real story" by a GOP official in Vermont: "Why would he ever come here just to get a bunch of crowds to boo him? He would be nuts to come up here."

2. Did you notice that Vermont is the only state in the union where Bush has never visited?

[Lucky 13]

3. Good. Stay outta my state!

He would get HORRIFICALLY booed!

4. I always liked Brattleboro... and Vermont as a whole.

As a kid, I loved VT for the incredible scenery and great hiking. As an adult, I love it even more for being uniquely left of the American mainstream. How can you go wrong with a state that loves Bernie Sanders? I'm generally a cynic who tends to be skeptical of there being any truly "special places" in this tired old world - but VT may be an exception.

If I had the money, I'd move back to VT in a heartbeat and never look back.

5. I love my hometown

But I do wish the MSM would refrain from using stupid tags like "the Land of Ben and Jerry." :eyes:

There's a lot more to Vermont than ice cream (even really, really good ice cream :9 )

6. Today we are all Battleboroites!
