As the president's motorcade drove past a school bus, the children waved. President Bush waved back at them. The school bus driver wasn't waving, though she was using her hand. She allegedly gave Bush the finger.
Bush was riding through Seattle back in June with Congressman Dave Reichert , whose spokeswoman says the president clearly saw it. She says Bush turned to Reichert -- who missed the gesture -- and told him, "That one's not a fan."
The driver was fired after allegedly boasting about it to colleagues. But now she's filing a union grievance to try to get her job back, alleging she was wrongfully terminated. The school system says she was sacked not for her political views, but for making an obscene gesture in front of the middle school kids. |
