Bush Billboard Looms Over Highway (PHOTO)

George W. Bush is back...in billboard form. Hovering over I-35 near Wyoming, Minn., is an ominous/how'd-anyone-take-him-seriously pic of the former president with the question, "Miss Me Yet?"

There have been no reports as to who is behind the billboard. For all we know Bush put it up after finding a picture of himself as he was about to catch a hamburger at a barbecue. (via NPR)

UPDATE: Morphyne.com is taking credit for the billboard claiming they spent only $1,200 for the ad space.

He was good for a few laughs.
Remember when he finished up his speech and then couldn't find his way out?
Or when he sexually harassed Merkel- he never did notice how inappropriate that was or why she might cringe under his massage.
What was up with that weird device on his back during the debates?
The African tribal dance.. what a treat! The man could never embarrass himself.
He would make jokes about, for example, sending soldiers to war, putting young men and women in harm's way, searching for mythical weapons of mass destruction and make jokes about it later.
Oh and the uber-strange choking on the pretzel thing (but he could hardly top his father vomiting in the lap of the Japanese Prime Minister.)
Writing notes at a UN meeting asking for a potty break?
"Is our children learning?" How can we forget?
America's Greatest Comedian. Such precious moments indeed.

Yeah, George was great for laughs but only if you had no pride in your nation.

Miss who?

[tomholton1234]

I JUST DROVE BY THERE YESTERDAY!!!!!

[Skiwee]

I applaud your restraint, or is it that you didn't have anything to throw at it.

[Skiwee]

He looks like a ret@rd!

[GDWhiteman]

Every time I wish Obama was doing better, I console myself that at least W is gone. Is he actually still alive?

[kamachanda]

Another one of these billboards just showed up in my area. Put up by some disgruntled small businessman my rosy red hemorrhoids. This thing will probably track back to some well financed Chamber of Commerce group who miss total lack of accountability and the Bush smoke and mirrors economy on a borrowed Chinese dime.

[texanrealist]

Bush did wrong but the pass is the pass, if Obama came through with his promises we would not have any troops in Iraq, but we do. We should stop thinking about Bush and focus on the problems that are front of us right now. I did not agree with Bush with his policies in Iraq, but blaming him and the Republicans for everything does not solve anything. We need to focus on the problems that are facing us right now and if they rate that things are moving Obama might be the next hated President. We need to worked together and stop fighting amongst each other because people like me will be hurting and will suffer for the rest of our lives. Party lines our understandable, but please lets fixed our economy and make sure our country is a safe place for my kids to live.

[texanrealist]

I understand the hatred for Bush because of he decided to go to Iraq and spend a tone of money, but compare to our current Government I would love to see Bush and the previous Congress back. They did a ok job and both Democrats and Republicans. Would we need to focus on his spending less money, both Bush and Obama have made this mistake and as a 22 year college student about to graduate this is very scary. I do not want to paid debt to other countries the rest of my life. Why cant we get back to the Clinton days were our country did not owe that much to other countries. I do not care what party solve this problem, but as I see it right now Bush did not spend as much money as the Obama and by the way it has only been one year into his tenure. I just want America the way it use to be and do not care what party solve this.

[NomadicView]

A real waste of an education. You want Bush and the previous Congress back?

Yes, the smart people of the USA sure do miss you President Bush. These other guys....... well.

[GDWhiteman]

Like I miss a pimple on my fanny

[Nagarjuna]

If "the smart people" miss him, why is everyone ashamed to bring his name up in polite conversation? No one talks about him.

Actually it's just a few troglodytes that miss him. The rest of us breathed a sigh of relief and moved on.

[WarMonger-for-Peace]

WOW.... I love checking this site occasionally to see how the other half live/think (and remind myself why I align with the “half” I’m on).

Cebudavid, “Bush-is-a-War-Criminal”? If Obama doesn’t consider this a war (Overseas-Contingency), then maybe you should drink his Kool-Aid and get on-board. If you want to wake-up and realize this action as War, then let’s line up the accused, in priority order, and ship them off to GITMO for appropriate disposition! Not sure you’ll get support for ranking George W. up there above the Underwear-Bomber.

JLivermore, Not sure what to tell you except continue your therapy......

Marrymeplease, You sound very bitter (nickname sez it all). Maybe JLivermore has room in his group sessions....

Construction note for Mindy: Don’t build gulf coast homes where you must look up to “see” “sea-level”.

Veritas vos liberabit, I’ve been thinking about this whole Obama “inheriting-all-things-horrible” attitude. Maybe he did, inherit “all-things-horrible,” from Billy Clinton. Including things that George W. didn’t have time to fix (a horribly unsecure nation can affect its economy, in case it wasn’t obvious).

Scrzbill, Hmmm - liberal interested in illegal gunplay as a political statement.... Maybe you could check with Jlivermore & Marrymeplease on group therapy. If not, Obama may have a stimulus package that could get you into a photography class to work on “those” weaknesses.

Agnostically yours,
WarMonger-for-Peace

1. An act of war is a military attack by one state against another state.

2. G.W. Bush failed to get a formal declaration of war from Congress.

[Nagarjuna]

Don't hurt yourself trying so hard. Bush didn't have time, in eight long, painful years, to fix Clinton-era problems? Like the Clinton surplus that Bush turned into a record-breaking deficit? It is to laugh.

[NomadicView]

Clearly this is the ONLY side that thinks.

[cebudavid]

"Miss Me Yet" Are you kidding me you mean A War Criminal, A Murderer a man who nearly brought our Nation down to its knees. Any American who still cares or thinks George W. Bush is missed or thinks he was a great President should have their head examined. George W. Bush is the worst President in United States History and will be labelled that in our history books. So do we miss George W. Bush or care for anyone in his family meaning his father George H. W. Bush or his grandfather Prescott Bush who were also corrupt thinking of know one but their family at the expense and lives of the American people, the answer is I Don't think So! There are 3 words the Bush Name will be remembered for , Deceit, Cowards and Murderers!

[joelang60]

I'm a fan of cebudavid, you're comments are beautiful.

[2centsplain]

Thanks to the people who sponsored this for reminding us. Obama in 2012.

[Jimad]

How about.... "Hey I completely got away with it.....SUCKERS"!

[BowlingForRevenge]

I see target practice for a paint gun!

[BowlingForRevenge]

In a word to answer the question....NO!

[goddess1871]

Indeed.... my worst day without him as President is better than my best day with him as President.

Everyone misses the Liar in chief
