New Yorkers got to kick President George W. Bush’s butt on Thursday, sort of.
Performance artist Mark McGowan kicked off his bid to crawl for 72 hours across Manhattan dressed as the president, offering the opportunity to kick his backside.
The controversial artist from London began his odyssey from New York’s Lincoln Centre wearing a rubber George Bush mask, a business suit, knee pads, work gloves and a sign stuck to his cushioned posterior reading simply: “Kick My Ass”.
Though few ordinary New Yorkers, other than fellow artists, cameramen and photographers, were present for the launch on a wet workday afternoon, some people gave him a kick.
“It felt real good to kick Bush,” said Casmirr Sharp, 52, of New York’s Queens borough. “He really deserves more than a kick.”
Play-therapy at its best — or worst. You decide.
I don’t want to kick the ass of a surrogate Bush… I want to kick the ass of the real Bush… and his whole corrupt family.
So much for the party of peace and tolerance.

And back at you I would retort “so much for the party of fiscal responsibility”.
I LOVE neocons – every time you spoon back at them the same shit they’ve been shoveling at you its -“Boo Hoo, you not playing fair”.
Stick the pacifier back into your mouth – the Dems will screw up soon enough and you neocons can get back to stealing taxes again.
lol, now we just need to flash mob him, and we’re set
The really bad part of this is the “artist” was probably getting an NEA grant.
#5 – The really bad part? Isn’t that the good part? But wait – the guy is from London. Is the NEA funding artists from the U.K.? First I’ve heard of it.
#3, I LOVE when idiots like you don’t think before labeling everybody who might not be an anti-war, welfare state loving liberal as “neocons.”
