 San Franciscans Hoping to Flush in Bush’s HonorPosted on Jun 25, 2008
It might be safe to assume that these folks aren’t fans of President Bush: A group calling itself the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco is hoping to commemorate Bush as he leaves office by re-christening a nearby sewage station as the George W. Bush Sewage Plant and by urging locals to flush together on cue on Jan. 20, 2009.

Wait a minute. We San Franciscans (my hometown) are capable of making entirely rational decisions, booze or no booze. I personally plan to zip up the coast on Jan 20 to personally flush a toilet in the name of solidarity with my fellow Friscoites.
If Republicans can name an airport for an actor, who by the way hated the airport, we Democrats can name a sewage plant for a president.

This idea is an affront to all good men and women who design, build and operate our sludge works. Nonetheless, if it is to transpire, I’d wish for some way of waterboarding Bush in the incoming deluge.

Saw this story on Countdown. This is so fitting for the person responsible for spreading so much shit, EVERYWHERE. A much more fitting legacy than a presidential library, especially since he really doesn’t read anyway, but we all know he is full of it. Can’t wait for this to happen and to celebrate it we will throw a “Flush The John(George)Party” like we did in Michigan after the second of 3 terms of Governor John Engler-R., who screwed up Michigan so badly. Toilet included as a party prop. BYOR(bring your own roll).
Now to get some of that Presidential toilet paper so we can all spread it back onto Bush as he has done to the American public and the world the past 7+ years. Hey George, as you spew, so shall you reap or what goes around, comes around. About time too.

That is sooooooo very funny. What a great idea. I live in TN and I will flush my toilet also to support the plant. Flush, Flush it goes down the drain. Yippie, yippie.

Just a word to the Bushies who are going to get the vapors over this one. It isn’t new even for contempory times.
During the union occupation of New Orleans during the civil war, the southerners believed the Union General was insulting, or allowing the women of the city to be insulted by Union troops and just freed blacks. A pottery factory began selling “chamber pots” with the Generals picture on the inside bottom. Use your imagination.

That “synchronized flush” may well spread around the world…

The SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE was first out of the gate covering this. The link is in my blog post. My post includes a quote from plumber Bright Winn, which nicely demonstrates the sort of wit that can be inspired by ridicule:
