Wonkette
Wonkette Operative “Ride Me Cowboy” (?!) writes from the Canadian hinterlands to report that our own former president, George W. Bush, visited Calgary for some pasta and fruit salad last night. Today he’s addressing the Chamber of Commerce. People were thrilled to see him. Alberta is, of course, the Texas of Canada, so all of this sort of makes sense. [Calgary Herald]
Calgary’s safe for Bush. All the jobs are now in Saskatchewan anyway.
Hopefully they can convince him to visit Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump.

Quick now SEAL THE BORDER
Dick Cheney is bullshitting out loud about the terrorisms, and George Bush is having fruit salads?
It’s just like old times.
Chef Maurizio Terrigno said while the former president requested salad and a pasta medley with spiced sausage and ricotta cheese…
Yeah, right — they sent over a hot dog and french fries from the stand across the street.
My sources tell me that Bush gets half the cover plus free drinks at the bar… so a pretty good night.
Did he drive there on the Trans-America Highway?
happiness …. is a warm gun.
They couldnt’ve put a pretzel in that pasta medley?
Notice that nobody concocted Bush-tails to commemorate his visit.
Loser.
Come on, Canada, have some balls and send the motherfucker to the Hague! (Cheney is not dumb enough to leave the country.)
So he didn’t take that greeter job at that hardware store in Dallas/Forth Worth?
The torture treaty we signed obligates Canada to grab him & prosecute for war crimes. Of course Fatty Harper will do no such thing. So that’s two countries Bush has now smeared with the shart of violating the torture treaty.
If he had any balls he’d visit Belgium, but Cheney ate those a long time ago.
I wasn’t aware “celebrity” = “war criminal”…good to know!
I know we’d get shit like this if we elected an Irish president.
Bush has something intelligent to say regarding commerce? Or anything at all?
I can see hiring on Bush as a novelty act to tell some zinger fart jokes to get the crowd ready for the real speaker, but this I do not get.
SayItWithWookies: Article that came out last week or so has Laura saying that she and Georgey eat lefty commie super food organic vegetables and whole wheat this and no preservative that - but that they always kept this a secret from the rubes so as to not spoil his shit kicker image.
So, just like we always knew, he’s a fag.
Why wouldn’t they love W in the heart of Canada City oil country?
His strong efforts to kill brown people in Iraq led to a gold rush in Calgary with $150 US a barrel of oil and inflated many an Albertan’s ego to a larger size than a Torontonian’s (which is typically pretty near insufferable.) Yeeehaw!
Not so much love for Barry though. That environmental reducing CO2 emissions shit, reduce oil dependency talk, budget problems and realization that oil sands oil is poisoning their water table has put a slight damper on the party.
Serolf Divad:
Does this mean that Michelle is Black Irish?
Did he show sufficient deference to Cheney?
ManchuCandidate: Alberta is the new Siberia
Put him on an ice flow with a starving polar bear and push it out to sea.
Anonymous Office Zombie: “What did the maxipad say to the fart? You are the wind beneath my wings…THANK YOU CALGARY!”
ManchuCandidate: You beat me to it.
Gorillionaire: The section of Dallas they live in has several lefty commie super food organic grocery stores, along with expensive boutiques, day spas and botox clinics. What I can’t figure out is how Laura fits in with Dallas high society when her hair isn’t half as big as her peers’.
Apparently people sent like 250 shoes to Calgary from all across the country.
Where are Cheney’s foreign death squads when you need them?
pasta medley with spiced sausage and ricotta cheese
iz in ur territories, eatin ur cheese
48 oz steaks. Greedy bastards, I bet his dinner guests are all obese too.
…visiting Canada doesnt count as a trip out of country, its almost the equivalent of visiting Puerto Rico! When visits Kandahar or Mogadishu then gimme a call!
SayItWithWookies: TGY: No no, y’all. They gave him poutine, with extra gravy, grease, and curds, in the hopes that his heart would simply explode.
visited Calgary for some pasta and fruit salad
Boy, this guy’s discernment is just impeccable. Anyone who’s eaten Canadian “food” will now better understand his appointment of Brownie, his nomination of Harriet Miers and the seemingly countless Liberty University Planaria infesting his administration.
There was a nice Canadian lady on Olberman last night describing how she was going to get Bush arrested for war crimes and ship him oot to the Hague.
‘Texas of Canada’, as in, they have public health care, but there are lots of copies of Field and Stream in the waiting room?
decora: They are required by federal law to provide universal state-run health care but the cowboy hat wearing rednecks they elect to run their government basically tries to do everything they can to worm their way around those rules.
What a crap province. I mean Alberta makes Texas look good. At least the later has Austin. Alberta has what? Edmonton.
!yoB-hsuB, lleH ni skcoc skcus rethom ruoY
I’d love it if they cuffed and hooded that fucker backstage just before he went on to speak, and extraordinarily rendered him to some desolate, god-forsaken island above the Arctic Circle for a few months of enhanced interrogation.

ladies and gentlemen, I give you Alberta and its denizens:
“We are so privileged to have him here,”said owner Antonietta Terrigno. “Of all the people in the world we have Mr. Bush. It is an honour.”
…
Some of the staff were grinning wildly after meeting him.
…
“He shook my hand and said he was happy to be back in Calgary,” said server George Morrison. “He’s definitly the highest-profile person I’ve ever served.”
…
“He looked right at me and waved,” said a giddy Marilyn Kovacs, who lives in the area and went to the street to see what all the fuss was about.
magic titty: George Bush should be tossing salads.
Canmon (the Inadequate): A great place for Bush to go jogging… with his Nike blindfold, of course….
Serolf Divad: Hey now - what’s all this hatin’ on Uachtarán O’Bama?… and on St. Paddy’s day, no less!
Norbert: Should’ve served Bush some of them cockmeat sandwiches they got at Gitmo.
“He looked right at me and waved,” said a giddy Marilyn Kovacs
Well la-di-da. We all know your name just means Smith in Magyar, Marilyn. So you aren’t very special after all.
Norbert: Please don’t judge all of us by the actions of three retards. I was offered a ticket at a substantial discount, but refused because I couldn’t bring extra shoes. And Bush should be seized as a war criminal, besides.
I suspect that the Calgary Chamber of Commerce will need a while to recover from this debacle. Penises.
Sara, the “Texas of Canada” is not fair. I’ve lived in both. Alberta is like Texas with gay marriage, socialized medicine, bitter cold, and the world’s best public schools.
He’ll go to Canada, but not San Francisco, which says a lot.
Norbert: One hopes that “server” George Morrison hocked a loogie in Bush’s ensalata.
Somebody told me protesters were showing up in Canada and aiming shoe cannons at Bush. Where can I get me one of these shoe cannons?
Shoe cannons? Here you go:
http://blog.peoplevbush.ca/
We’ve been sending shoes from all over the country - with messages written on them - to launch at him.
Please don’t judge Canada by Alberta. Or for that matter, don’t just Alberta by this. As NewAlgier points out, the “Texas of Canada” is still Canada: same-sex marriage, health care, and NO death penalty. Find me a Texas with that, eh?
Canmon (the Inadequate): and hopefully they will push him over the cliff at said buffalo jump! and skin and eat him at the bottom! also.
and smash his head in. also.
